Given the very wet March we are having here in the northeast and the prospect of a really wet trail come late spring early summer.. I thought it would be interesting to start a thread about hiking in extended rain and endless mud.
Not talking about the summer shower here. I'm talking about pouring rain that lasts all day for several days straight or returns with storm after storm day after day. I'm talking about trail so muddy that you can't avoid the mud pits by hiking around them (we aren't supposed to but doesn't everyone try to avoid them as much as possible?).
If you've met such conditions, did you stay on the trail? if so how did you deal with things?
