I bet the snow will be nearly gone on the lower part of the trail by then

I h8t my toyota · 04-30-2012, 10:38 PM

Me a few other rigs were up there Saturday there wasn't too much snow on the way to the first crossing. We hit some sloppy stuff about half a mile before winch hill 1 by next weekend it will be pretty much all gone. The river was low we had no issues crossing at all.

I'm thinking of a day run so maybe sat or Sunday, wheel to first crossing and back since the water as of now is at 250 and will only get higher and I don't fawk with the creek higher than 250

robertd · 05-01-2012, 02:57 PM

I'd be interested in a day run if you go Sat. or Sunday. I'm the one with the TJ on 40's from the Rubicon last week. The one that works with your Step dad.

Oh hey rob I was wondering if you were on here. Pm me your number and I'll shoot ya call or text I am thinking saturday morning cruise into first crossing eat lunch and head back out. I'll have the preggo with me so I won't be camping and if the river continues to rise I won't be crossing with her in the truck not at 250+

kdub0013 · 05-01-2012, 08:59 PM

400 cfs fawk that

chainrnng · 05-02-2012, 09:27 AM

dreamflows showing 550 cfm this am river is rising fast

nate_ · 05-05-2012, 08:52 PM

Went to first crossing today. Almost no snow to that point. Didnt cross because I was running solo but honestly didn't look that bad for 38's and larger. But then again I didn't actually test the waters ??

chainrnng · 05-06-2012, 03:01 AM

we went in fri night camped after first crossing. Water was fine then drove out and through all river crossings. hit huge drift going out to road turned around and came back.

kdub0013 · 05-06-2012, 09:36 AM

When you say huge drift I take it you were referring to committee reroute heading up to fordyce lake? I didn't make it out Saturday like I wanted. Memorial day for sure looks like as long as the creek stays down it should be fun.

chainrnng · 05-06-2012, 10:25 AM

yes the reroute was no bueno its shaded and holding nasty drifts
but most all the trail to comittee was clear of snow

Wilson · 05-22-2012, 01:48 PM

Anyone been in/ out committee since chainrig's last report of nasty drifts?
