Does not look that deep but dropped off just before the ledge barely visible on the far back and the water was really moving! Thia is typically a small stream but there was a huge storm the night before.

Your making me think I shouldn't have gone through some of the water I've taken it in without some kind of safety line again. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

Friday we left Vantage, Wa heading to Wenatchee. Think the creek was on Bushy road. The water was moving, a full size Dodge on 37s went through the creek about an hour after I went through. In the vid I saw of the crossing the 37s are completely submerged at one time or another!

Yea we did not really know how deep the water. I was not about to get into the water to hook a winch if I did get stuck.

Small world Alex!

The second video is my favorite. I love it when the Dodge's 37 disappear under the water <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />.

The Disco did not cross the stream, it would of suffered serious damage. It and the 2 other trucks that had not crossed turned around.

At this point the two day camping trip had turned into a "3 Hour Tour".

Guess I could a more detailed write up about the weekend now, if anyone is interested.

Dayum, somebody finally found a good use for an LR.

It should have been obvious. Lucas is known for turning running cars into boat anchors....
