Trucks in Mud

Is bogging hard on the environment? The BV Diggers can spend an entire day playing in two wetlands each the size of a good size house. They will use the same bogs several times in a year so while bogging is intense, it happens in wetlands that total less than 1/2 acre.

The BV Diggers choose low-elevation bogs where plants recover quickly. They also choose small bogs that don't drain into streams so that there is no problem with silting or mud running down into fish-bearing creeks.

Noise from the trucks can carry a long distance so the Diggers choose areas to play far from neighbours.

If you enjoy trucks and spending long hours working on them, join the BV Diggers. If you don't like fixing trucks or if you always like to keep your boots dry, better stick to Scrabble.

If spinning tires, rooster tails of mud and grinding to a halt in mud too deep to walk through get your juices going, talk to the Diggers. You can start small with an old 4x4 and small tires, but soon you will be dreaming of 40-inch tires and enough power and traction to pull a barn.

The BV Diggers is a great club to join to learn how to fix trucks and keep them going in the worst conditions. Any devoted back-yard mechanic will feel right at home.

Phone Stewart at 877-2742 for more information.
