Oh yeah, I remember being a kid and sinking into the mud to above my knees! 
Even worse than walking in the mud is walking on the frozen mud first thing 
in the morning. If it was a deep late spring freeze, the top freezes solid 
with all the bumps and footprints of those who went that way the day before - 
a recipe to break an ankle for sure! If it was just a light freeze, the top 
is crunchy, then you sink into the cold wet mud - yech!

And people wonder why I moved south instead of further north?
