From my limited knowledge, you'd probably do fine in the main areas. Just stay away from the deep puddles. Most of wharton is very flat sandy roads, but they have some areas that are fairly flooded.

As JD said, most of Wharton is flat and sandy. There are a few DEEP puddles. One that we went through during this trip had water at my headlights and splashing/streaming over my hood. In a stock height TB, you'd have some problems.

That one was a butt-clencher. But for the most part, I'd say it's doable as long as you have someone else to help get you unstuck. Don't know about any other of you locals, but I'd be ok with a stock tb running, as long as we tested some of the questionable puddles before diving in.
