Mud on my truck

I spent the last three days deep in the California Pacific Northwest woods chasing the elusive "grey ghost" the Columbia Blacktail.
This is really a pretty pathetic display of mud on my truck but I did try.

I believe he's talking about the elusive blacktail deer.
Correct me if I'm wrong

Looks good Tony.

The grey ghost is known to be harder to catch than even the elusive Pacific Northwest snipe.
He who catches it has bragging rights.
Of course pictures need to be posted though.

"Grey Ghosts"
I have actually "caught" a few of them but I will say, you really have to put in the time. It helps if it is miserable weather and today was MISERABLE! I must have walked 15 miles today in the pouring rain. I saw 5 grey squirlls, 2 grouse, 10 does, 2 fawns, and one lonely brownish grey Black Bear.

It was muddier but it dried and flaked off, it was really soupy too, almost hydrolocked my engine cause I got a buncha mud and crap in my air filter so be careful with that.

toyspearo, is your truck white and just dirty or did you repaint it a tan color. I like that color but I've never seen it stock on that year truck?

My 4Runner was pretty muddy yesturday(Friday), but that was just from the rain mixing with all the dust that had accumulated over the summertime. Seriously, I couldn't have gotten my rig muddy over the last 4 months if I had to. All the stuff that used to be mud is now just dust.

I'm sorry but that just sounds like an oxymoron to me.
