Better wash out your air filter after that one. You can just about bet you sucked some mud up it. I had to ford a deep clay mud puddle in Ocala over Labor Day and when I opened my air filter afterwards, I found red clay caked on the inside. There is a baffle on the inside fenderwell that is a mud trap. If it clogs, your engine will starve for air and shut off. Do yourself a favor and give it a quick look. Awesome photo though. The bad thing about mud mixed with water is that mud requires speed and water requires finesse. If you go slow, you get stuck and wind up with an interior full of mud. If you go fast, you wind up sucking water and hydrolocking. Kind of a catch 22. That's why I try to avoid mud pits that are full of water.
