That mud puddle is called the Soup Bowl at the beginning of Falls Dam. And he didn't do shit I hate to say it.
A.)The soup bowl has a hard compacted bottom, as long as you keep touching bottom you shouldn't have any problems.
B.)In the video it isn't even halfway full. The water usually is all the way out to the fence.
C.)He didn't go through the mud pit, he cut across it. Where the person standing video taping is the real exit. You are supposed to drive straight through it and out the rutted exit. A video from my 2nd to last trip to Uwharrie showing how you are supposed to drive through it, not friggn cut across it:
(Beginning of video until 1:20 when the video cuts off short of me finishing making it out)
Here is a picture for reference too. Cutting to the left bypassing the rutted exit isn't going through the pit. Sorry.

The trail we went on was supposed to be Easy but ended up being a bit too much for the CR-V and Forester about 6 miles into the trail.

The trail he was on is Falls Dam, its a trail I have done stock in my truck (on 235 street tires) and seen many stock trucks do (including stock Rovers). If the truck can't do essentially the easiest trail out there, it didn't do shit. It is actually quite sad, and a testament to how crappy the CR-Vs are.
If the CR-V can't make it up Falls Dam which is rated easy, how could it dream of doing any of the actually difficult trails. Say Daniel? Or Dutch John even.
If you still think Uwharrie is for pussies you are more than welcome to come out and ride with us. Or just ask UltraViolet, he can tell you.
