Narrative:
I became aware of the uncertainty of the quantity of fuel. Due to the difficult terrain that would be encountered on the flight to an airport, a precautionary landing was executed. On rollout water and mud were observed flying off the main gear after considerable deceleration. In the latter phase of rollout, extremely soft terrain was encountered, resulting in a mild nose-over.
