Just curious, How were the water levels this weekend? I am planning on heading up there next weekend and was looking for a heads up.

Thanks,
Ron

the crossing were fine. 1 still has the big hole in the middle that will swallow 42's(trust me), 2 and 3 are plain jane, 4 is still moving but nothing of concern. my dog swam across them all.

Water was cake. They increased the flow a bit but it barely hit our rockers.

Thanks for the response. Hope your weekend was entertaining.. I am guessing the mud hole is still quite messy?

Jimmy, I think I know what you are saying here, but I doubt that everyone else does. There are three main crossings on the trail, as traditionally run from the Indian Creek Capmground to Meadow Lake, with an extra one on a different watershed at the Sierra Trek staging area, and still another one on the shortcut out past Fordyce Lake.

Can you clarify?

They were all easy. I saw this picture yesterday and was wondering if you had a bad day. Or were you pissed the margaritas were with me on a different trail. I'll be at your next work day :D When do you want to go for a weekend trip. let me know.
Nice winter coat. :flipoff2:

Thanks for the clarification, Ron.

That picture makes me look pissed off -- I musta been sitting on a splinter or something. You can see that the picture is too dim -- that's because the sunburn I have on my ever-expanding forehead was so bright that it was throwing off the exposure! :laughing: Idiot shoulda worn a lid! :shaking:

I did miss your margaritas, tho, Ron... you do 'em up in style. So well that I'm thinking of starting a FOR (Friends of Rollie) group just so that I can arrange my schedule better to enhance the chances of my sharing off your blender. :flipoff2:

LMAO:smokin:

I got denied the left line on WH3 because of carb issues :shaking:

That right line was a bit tougher then usual, ended up on my side like all the rest.

Here's a few shots

didn't get any of WH3 because the camera woman (my wife) was in the passenger seat for WH3 :)

Had fun, i'll be back up here in a few weeks once I re-weld some cracked/ripped tubing.

Not unless they lift the fire restrictions. As of July 2nd the Fordyce is off limits to Off Highway Vehicle use (internal combustion engine.)

:eek:

For how long Tinman?

Well right now it's until we get some moisure but we'll see if they re-evaluate. It could be overreaction to the Angora fire. So for now we need to respect the forest order that created the restrictions and work on them to get it opened back up. We'll keep contact with the Forest Service and see where this goes.

Fordyce is off limits to Off Highway Vehicle use (internal combustion engine.)

Does this apply to all vehicles (IE: Stock Vehicles) or just OHV registered? I could not find specifics on the USFS website.

Thanks
Ron

Anything with an internal combustion engine.

yea definently keep us posted Tinman, thanks for the info.
