Secret Mud hole in San Jose, CA

bigKahuna · 11-14-2003, 06:55 PM

Hey guys

Just got back from down the street and I found the best mini mud wallowing spot in San Jose, CA..

(Directions deleted because this reflects poorly on the off roading community and is illegal)

Turn right immediatly onto the dirt trail. stay on the trail or you'll crash 15 feet into the creek. follow the trail for 50 yard and then it will open up into a 75 by 50 yard muddy field. some parts are 21 inches deep and you can get a good jump in other parts I got 2 feet of air in the front at one point. have fun!!!

here's an after pic

Happy Mudding Big Kahuna

Nice!!! I'm about 5 min. away from there. I'll check it out tomarow after work and hopefuly we'll get a little more rain tonight. Thank's for the tip and the secret's safe with me.

Dude! Thanks for sharing your mud pit. I just got off work and went straight there. It is so mello, but for SJ. it rocks!!! So nice to get off work and unwind with a little mudding. Thanks again dude and here is an after pic:

calrockx · 11-15-2003, 06:55 PM

if those mud pics were on IsMyRunnerMuddyOrNot.com i'd have to give that second picture a solid 8.

Robinhood150 · 11-15-2003, 09:27 PM

So this isn't private property, isn't tresspassing, and is perfectly legal, right? You wouldn't want to give off roaders a bad name like these guys, right?

Just because there aren't any signs doesn't mean it isn't private property. As far as I know there are no legal areas in the bay area to wheel, except for hollister and some other smaller parks.

turboale · 11-15-2003, 10:24 PM

You call that muddy?

Churnd · 11-16-2003, 02:46 PM

I got yo mud right here:

bigKahuna · 11-17-2003, 05:28 PM

I'm glad to see that some of youse tough guys are having fun in the mud...

and yeah thanks for the cool pics, sorry for those that didnt enjoy the little mud hole I hope it got bigger if not. please use your runner in 2wd to dig it deeper for the rest of us thanks....

oh yeah You know, I didnt see any signs posted. But to the "paaahhhttypooper" as Arnold would say... you may be right about the tresspassing... So Everyone please disregard the posting

We yota 4xer's would never break the law....

If it rains again the it should be better in a few days.....

well catch you all later and here's mud in your eyes

Or in this case, mud between the ears...

Here's a little reading for you: Tread Lightly

Robinhood150 · 11-17-2003, 08:22 PM

Kahuna, your reply shows you have no foresight into what actions like yours can do to our sport. Like everything in this world it only takes a few bad apples to spoil everybody's fun, like hunting, firearms, and off roading. We have too few trails open as it is and they are being threatened by the greenies everyday. Trails at Moab are being closed down as I type this and the trails up highway 4 have been threatened just recently. Even the rubicon is being threatened. I take offense when I see my sport being threatened by a few bad apples.

If you'd like we can set up a hollister run sometime in the future. My truck is a little under the weather right now so I'll have to figure that out first, but I'm sure others would be able to go if you really want to go soon.

bigKahuna · 11-18-2003, 01:04 AM

Cebby point well taken let me clean the mud out of my ears.....

as for robin hood Sorry if I offend the the you as I am new, over zealous and excited .. thanks for the info, and in the future I will be more cautious. As for your offer I think it would be a great to meet you at Hollister to learn more about how to propperly wheel a 4runner. Let me buy a round of espresso as I dont drink beers...

Ill just pull my foot out of my

Peace Big Kahuna

Shane · 11-18-2003, 07:34 AM

Ok, This is how it works. If it's not marked as a trail or road, DON'T GO INTO IT!!!

Clear enough for ya?

toy283 · 11-18-2003, 11:16 AM

This is my favorite mud hole. Top of Bill Moore Lake trail:

FWIW, those are 38.5" tires you cannot see. Mudhole is barely a truckwidth wide and two lengths long with nice steep ledges at the entrance & exit.

Does your truck have GILLS?

Robinhood150 · 11-18-2003, 12:07 PM

Awesome kahuna.

Since we're posting mud pics here's one from frank raines off road park (now burned down).

kyle_22r · 11-18-2003, 12:30 PM

ain't it grand how we will always be judged by the actions the idiots in our hobby make. same goes with fishing, hunting, and just about every other hobby out there.

and it seems mostly to me that these kind of people are mud tards...the ones that don't have the brains to crawl rocks or play around on fire roads, so they spend all their money on a set of boogers and a cheap body lift, and tear up people's property. i say we banish them to drive rusty k5 blazers and ramchargers

wow, whos next to join in on the round of persecution. the guy made a mistake and realizes it. fortunately, he wasnt even caught, so for the moment our sport is safe from consequences of his actions. cut the guy some slack.

foxtrapper · 11-21-2003, 04:47 AM

Not sure how you came to the conclusion that not getting caught makes the sport safe for others. If he'd have been caught, maybe the land owner would only be angry with him. As it is now, the land owner has his place torn up by "those blasted 4wheelers". That's not an improvement.

Yes, the fella realizes he made a mistake, and that's good. But the damage was done. He also hasn't mentioned owning up to it and appologizing to the land owner who's property he tore up.
