I went on a four vehicle convoy yesterday. Our planned route was blocked by an IED, so we took an alternate. The alternate road was very poor and muddy, but we had some of the best mud 4-wheeling I've ever experienced.
The alt route took us through the most hostile town in the area. They just looked at us as we drove through, and one fella even waived at me. I thing we surprised them by coming out of the woods on such a poor road.
Visited two FOBs. Now that the rain has stopped, the mud is drying out and conditions are much better. Soldiers are happy; food is good, training is good, but sleep is scarce.
