Default i wanna make a mud pit

I have about 2 or 3 acre field behind my house and me and a few friends are thinking of making a mud pit, anybody got any ideas? Were going to plug the drain tiles up so there's always standing water and then we want to run a 4 wheeler track around the outside of it, any ideas would be awesome

Sounds wicked man and I'm slightly jealous. Dips and gullys, if you have the equipment steep hills or embankments are always fun and challenging. I guess it depends on how crazy you wana go!

We started the same thing last year in a buddy's field. All we did was wait for a nice rain and we started spinning tires on grass. After about 3 hours off slowly digging down we probably had about a foot and a half of deep, thick mud.

In today's world, the first thing you need to consider with a plan like this is liability. If you create an "attractive nuisance" and somebody gets hurt, you may be taken to the cleaners.

If it's just for you and family, that's one thing. But when "friends" start getting involved and somebody gets hurt, friendships can end right quick.

Sad to say, but it's true.

Its only for me and close friends, and I know for a fact if they got hurt they wouldn't put anything against me
