wow, what an awesome day. It was cold and full of water. 73Goat(green 40), moe.taco(white taco) and myself crossed about 4'-5' of raging water. We all took on water, but no damage AT ALL
8 rides started the day. We ended up splitting into two groups b/c some of us thought the first creek crossing was too deep. HAHAHA. We meet back up after the three of us encountered what moe.taco is rolling through.

The group met back up in the middle of a trail. After taking the 3 80s and 1 60 back to the creek to show them the white caps we wheeled the rest of the day---Riven Rock area, Dictum (unsuccessfully-but no for lack of trying), and Second Mountain--where it felt like I was real close to flopping my junk.

Wow, that's probably the deepest I've ever seen it. Last time I went down there it was about 3 inches over the bottoms of my doors.

same place. I can't wait for the other pics to get posted. I still haven't seen my rig on the rock when teetering. There were 3 other cameras, so...

It was deep, but FUN. Great day in the mountains.

i was just wondering how many times can you go threw water that deep without screwing something up like diffs or your engine cause i noticed that taco didnt have a snorkle and i really doubt you can get a breather cap up that high

We all have and will be changing all fluids. No water got into anyones motors--thank God It is not the best environment, but you extend breathers for this reason, add a snorkel, larger tires.....let the madness continue
