Pass Patrol’s first visit to Holy Cross City was in
1987. There were four vehicles on that
trip. One lost a muffler and another
suffered a dented rocker panel. We
didn’t make it all the way to the ghost town because of a huge mud bog on the
west side of French Creek. That bog was
no place for stock vehicles.
In those days, getting to the mud bog was just as difficult
as it is now, but it was the bog that got most of the attention. There was no way around it although lots of
people tried. It was those attempts to
get around the bog that nearly caused us to lose the Holy Cross City Trail
forever.
The bog was no wider than a three-lane highway, but was
nearly twice that long from end to end.
Except for a few thinner areas, most of the mud was about the
consistency of an extra thick chocolate shake.
It was also that same color.
