Those who chose to enter it, did so knowing they would never get all
that mud out of their vehicle’s private parts for so long as they should live. In other words, to venture forward simply
meant the driver didn’t really care about the appearance of the vehicle.
Very few vehicles made it through on the first try. Open Jeeps found themselves stuck in the goo
deep enough to cover the brake pedal inside the vehicle. After a few revolutions of the wheels,
drivers and anyone else foolish enough to stand within throwing distance were
all the same color as the bog.
An anchor had been permanently mounted in a nearby boulder so
the vehicle would have something solid enough to winch to. That anchor is all that’s left of the once
famous Holy Cross Bog.
