Coming up May 8-9-10: The 2015 Moyie Mud Bog |
|
April 29, 2015 |
The countdown is down to only 9 more days:
Organizers are putting the finishing touches on
this year's 2015 edition of the Mud Bog at Moyie
Springs, and are expecting lots of attendance,
and lots of mud. The Mud Bog starts on Friday,
May 8, and runs through the weekend, ending on
May 10.

The event, organized by Bruce Behrman, includes
rock crawling, sand drags, and the Moyie Mud
Pit. Live bands will also be on hand, along with
a bonfire and various vendors. Camping is
available.
Attendance at the Mud Bog has been as high as
2,000 mudders and spectators in the past. People
have come from as far away as California,
Florida, New York, and other distant states.
People have even flown in from Great Britain.
 Organizers of the Mudd Bog like to look at it as
a sort of modern day rodeo, but a rodeo that
uses cars and trucks instead of broncos and
bulls.
And, like the rodeo, the Mud Bog organizers are
trying to ensure the event remains safe. They
are discouraging excessive use of alcohol and
disorderly behavior. "We have tightened up on
security," they said, "and our main concern is
the safety of our Mudders and spectators."
Parking will not be a problem at the Mud Bog,
and organizers say they have reorganized the
entry system at the gate and added more staffers
to prevent traffic backups.
They are emphasizing that "Absolutely None" of
the following things will be allowed:
• Glass bottles
• ATVs
• Anybody under 18 without a parent/legal
guardian (and, they say, your 18 year old
cousin/brother/sister, etc. does not count!)
• Dogs
• Unauthorized vending
• Fighting of any kind. "You fight, you're out,"
say organizers.
Everyone in the vehicle must wear their seatbelt
at all times on all obstacles. Security will be
on duty 24 hours a day during the event.
The Moyie Mud Bog will be held on May 8, 9, and
10 at 2136 Eileen Road, Moyie Springs, Idaho. If
using Mapquest to find it, you must use "Moyie
River Road" instead of Eileen.
Entry to the event is $25 per person age 13 and
older. Children ages 12 and under are free.

They are inviting everyone to "Come get muddy at
Moyie!"
