Yeah I think it was at 150 or a little higher the last time I went, and I wouldnt really want to be going through it with 35s much higher than it was

I believe the worst crossing is Committee, since this is the one closest the Dam :nerv:
We still have to wait to see if they open the gate at Cisco to go into the Fordyce trail. We should know by this weekend as to when TNF will open it.

Worst case scenario unload trail rigs at eagles lake and go in that way and have some one with a street legal rig pick us up at the Cisco grove parking lot for paid parking for the tow rigs.  :clap:

Committee is usually the fastest/most forceful point with the higher flows.  In '90 it was actually flowing enough to float my buddy's Jeep on 33's and move it about 30ft down creek.  The same thing happened to my '90 X-cab on 31's, when I crossed after him, but I hit a rather large boulder that stopped me from moving much further.  IIRC, a few years ago a Jeep was rolled at Committee, the pics were on Pirate, but I don't remember if was from the water, or screwing around.
'90 black X-cab mod'd 3.0, 33's/4.88's, rear ARB, custom bumpers, sliders, safari rack, etc.
'91 Blue X-cab 22re, 35's/5.29's,Truetrac front, ARB rear, dual cases, and custom Safari flatbed, bumper, interior.

I just wheeled past the first river crossing and the trail is in great shape.

Looks like it's still a go, come prepared plenty of food, dry clothes, camping gear, tools and supplies. The water flows are going to be deep :shocking:

Might have to put a hole on my hood and point my intake up :gap:

Last I heard everyone will be going to rubicon, although not reccomended due to trail damage, or moonrocks (brad, Jud, and I). At 400cfs at the dam you will me seeing 500cfs+ at the crossing.
