Going to check as soon as I get my oil changed. I'll post up some pics of the water level when I get back. Around 12:30 or 1

dshelowjr · 01-24-2008, 02:04 PM

Well it came up alot:-(. But ,in the hour I was there it dropped about 3 inches.You can see the water line in some of the pics. It crested yesterday & has dropped over A foot today so hopefuly we are still on ,I know those of us around here are still going

.As long as we dont get any more rain

. It came up like 6 or7 feet in 1 day It won't take long to back down as long as it don't rain anymore.

Do you have any pics of where we have to cross with our full size to get to the crawl spot?

Don't think he has any pics of that but you won't be able to make it in a car. It is at least 2 or 3 feet deep on the right side going in, a helluva lot deeper on the left. It is not real muddy, more of a sand base. I park the Mazdarati at the ramp and rode in. It is only a couple hundred yards from the boat ramp to the gtg spot.

No I don't have any pics of the water hole but its not that bad . About 2 or 3 ft. with a hard sandy bottom. The water just does go over my exhaust & my truck is not lifted.Just stay to the right when you go through it.When you turn off the main road come straight back you will see where the dirt road forks go straight then you will come to the water hole stay to the right & you should be ok. After the water hole you will come to the train tracks ,just follow the tracks . We will be where the tracks meet the river

My brother went to the river this afternoon & said it has dropped A couple of feet so we should be good unless it rains real bad tomorrow.The news said 70 % but they are dumb.

dshelowjr · 01-26-2008, 04:38 PM

Are you guys ready

Lushtrucker · 01-26-2008, 05:24 PM

I am setting up a 2nd set of wheels/tires right now to compare airsoft to lead weights on back to back runs.
I assume it didn't rain too bad today?
