December 5th weekend, crossing with a rhino and flow is at 31? - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

WIKD 281 · 11-24-2008, 11:24 PM

Hello all. Im not sure that the flow rate is correct? I have never seen it that low before on dreamflows.com? When I cross with my jeep on 39.5" boggers the water is at the top of the boggers when its at 160. Now, with my rig being down I was thinking of taking out my rhino, but will I get swept away? I would think not with it only being at 31? Anything to look out for? Gonna be crossing at comittee crossing just below fordyce lake.
Thanks for any help!
Harold.

Anytime I have ever crossed its been pretty deep. That seems like a all time low, I would double check that number

I crossed yesterday at commite, I have 35 inch tires, and I would say in the deepest spot I had only about 3-5 inches of tire out of the water, so it is approx 31 inces deep or so, that said you might be able to pick a more shallower line as I just drove across not worring about it...

Well I got to get out and run the first half of the trail (Eagle Lakes to committee). Had a great time, thanks for letting us tag along guys. One question though, dose anyone know the story with the red toyota left on the trail?

Bebe · 12-09-2008, 11:11 PM

Are you talking about the stock one at the top of the slabs? He was with our group. I think we met up with you at the first river crossing?

He left with us when we got back up to the top of the hill.

pepe · 12-11-2008, 10:10 AM

No it was at the river crossing. I have a pic I could send, but I would rather not post.
