I'm pretty intoxicated right now, so please forgive me for whatever retarded crap I say... There were no pontoon boats that I remember, and I don't know how you guys came up with that lol...

The next one should be in either February or March. It comes around twice a year. There is also L-Cross, which is twice a month, but not nearly as big.

As far as the Rhino, I really don't know much about them. I spent most of my time trying not to run over them, not seeing how well they could run the mud. I did see quite a few people driving around in them, including one person who had a kegerator in the back. I can't recall anybody actually running them in the mud though.

To the person who lived of of Lyons: I have no idea where Logger's Run is. Lyons Rd goes all the way from Lake Worth (where I live) down to like Pompano or Ft Lauderdale.

a stock rhino would be useless in that type of mud. get some tires 26s a cdi and a winch. The 26s will be good enough in the mud that it will get you most places but not big enough to break things. The cdi will help you turn your tires in that gooey Florida mud.

Lmao those are swamp buggies. I assume you don't have too many swamps out there in Texas? It's basically a truck frame with a (huge) custom suspension lift. They then build a plantform on top, put some chairs, coolers, whatever you want on top. I've even seen double decker buggies. Around here people even take them hog hunting. I've also seen a few with tracks instead of tires. They're interesting, but I'm not sure how well they do in the mud.

Well that's quite a drive to come all the way down from Georgia. Your best bet would be the Perry bog, which is coming up in October I think. I'm not sure exactly where Perry is, but it's somewhere close to the panhandle. Plus the Perry bog is supposed to be way bigger, which is crazy because the Okeechobee bog (in the pictures) was pretty damn huge.

The swamp buggies do ok in the mud. Most of the time they are under powered to turn such big tires in the mud.

I wasn't referring to all swamp buggies, just the ones with tracks. I've never really seen a tracked one in the mud.

I really didn't get a very good look at it (my friend's gf took those pictures), but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a real airplane. I've been flying for a couple years and I'm now going to school for aviation, so I'm pretty familiar with the anatomy of airplanes. From what I saw, that plane was mising some key components. The tail section had no rudder or elevators, which would make it rather difficult to maneuver. They probably just built the whole thing from scratch.

It was still pretty bad*ss though.
