So this might sound dumb or be obvious to some people out there but when I go riding i sometimes go down through creeks, with a lot of starts and stops. I've began to notice whenever I go through the creeks and do a lot of start and stopping my parking brake seems to go out of adjustment and my rear brakes get start to get soft. I will find myself going to the parking brake with a wrench and putting the parking brake back into adjustment. Whenever I run just on normal terrain non wet I never have to do this. So my question is, is this pretty normal with pilots and odysseys or am I doing something wrong.

We avoid the mud and water when we can but it looks like you can't, based on those pics.
I have not found it to be an issue with us, but then again we try not to go through creeks.
The one thing I do though is I have to pull up on the brake handle ONE click sometimes to get my brake handle on the steering wheel to be a solid feel again. But that is rare.
Hopefully others will chime in here.

What brand of pads are you using? Could be water effects them more than others. My guess is that your parking brake is not really out of adjustment, it just does not work as well when the pads get wet. I would buy a OEM set. I believe they are still available and install them while examining the rear caliper closely for any issues. The OEM include a new hanger pin.

I believe it has an oem set on it with the new pin. I'm curious if anyone else has ever notice this before that's ran their machine in watery conditions

I ride in wet conditions here in IL and I have noticed a small difference when brakes are wet. Has never caused me to adjust the parking brake though. Biggest thing I notice is when the drive belt is wet.
