I get mud and rain like anyone else bently. I trench the hell out of every spot that needs it so the water runs off. Its a lot of work.... and i know exactly how far wet muddy leaves blow. Just far enough to get out of the chain spot. Blows at 140 mph man. Just trying to make your life easier by sharing what works. We get plenty of water and with how old some of these spots are... its a necessity to trench and keep those trenches cleaned out!(like with a leaf blower).... Heres what happens when a trench gets clogged around here. that spot filled up in around 2 hours. Cleaned the leaves out and it drained in less than a minute. God i remember that storm, it was a mess out there. Its nothing im proud of it was a problem and i fixed it. Thats what we should all do, fix potential or current problems for the best conditions for our dogs. Even though your spots are temp, realize the potential for disaster is high.



n ya im the asshole that takes a pic before giving a helping hand.
