Narrative:
We left mid afternoon in a C-210 and wanted to get a few hours in before nightfall. The weather was VMC the entire trip although we did deviate to avoid some weather. After a 30 minute deviation I decided to turn around and land before we went into some marginal VFR weather. The nearest VMC airport was 10 miles south of us and was reporting winds slightly favoring runway 36. I entered a left downwind for runway 36 and saw that the wind sock indicated a gusting wind from the east. I crabbed the plane for a crosswind landing. We landed on the upwind side of runway for a crosswind landing. After landing I got hit by a large gust of wind from the east which pushed the airplane to the west side of runway. Although I increased right rudder and right aileron the left main wheel went off the runway into the mud. After that happened the airplane was non responsive I could not get it back onto the runway. I pulled the yoke all the way to my chest to keep pressure off the nose wheel and we were almost at a complete stop when the nose wheel hit a rut and we [nosed] over on the back side of plane. Most of the damage was done to the plane while trying to pull the airplane out of the mud. The prop did strike the dirt at idle speed. Other than that there was not a whole lot of damage.
