The mud pit is a
multipurpose turnout found west of
Davis on
Russel Avenue. It serves many purposes such as:
place to go when drunk
place to go to make out
place to go to watch lightning over the Sierras
place to go when its too hot to be inside
place to look at the stars
place to yell really loud because no one can hear you
place to do donuts
place to do donuts in the mud after storms
place to get your car stuck if you're dumb
place to cry
place to tell ghost stories. We could swear the place is haunted... or at least alive in a way we can't see... only feel
i believe it also serves for loading
agricultural products a few times a year is it is near a farmer's field. It is also near an
irrigation ditch full of
frogs and a few small shrubs. Other than that the view to the horizon is largely unobstructed.
to find the Mud Pit drive west on Russel Bvd out of davis for about 10 miles. Its on the outside of a big curve a few miles east of Winters, before the road merges with Covell.
