I'll take them at their word but the ground is so muddy it's sloppy :)
Ground is so muddy and soft that I have been pulling some wild rose 
bushes this afternoon using my JD 2010 with a loader bucket and a heavy 
rollover type box scrape for some weight in the rear.
Windy yes, but I'll bet you couldn't keep a fire going (unless you are a 
Dotson - lol).
