During these days of the freeze-thaw-mud cycle, trips to the basin are morning trips now. If you don’t get out early, you won’t get in the basin at all. Or, as someone found out almost the hard way the afternoon of the day I took the above pic of Mariah, you won’t get very far in, and you’ll be lucky to leave only ruts and not get stuck in the mud.

So lovely! We are all glad you get out there. Stay safe.
Sounds like the mud is getting serious, TJ! Glad everything is “stiff” enough for your morning visits!
