Might be up for this... not familiar with the trail... how difficult is or isn't it?

 

[NorcalPR]

Its very easy. The only hard spot is driveshaft hill but you can bypass it.

Going down fordyce to the first crossing is fun. A couple tough spots but not too bad

 

[NorcalPR]

Im also out for this run. Doing the virginia city moto race that weekend

Would love to but it's my wife's birthday that day.

 

[01taco33]

I'd be in. At this rate it should be pretty dry. Heading down to the first river crossing is a fun little run, I'd be up for that Saturday..Either way I'm ready to do some wheelin

I'm a maybe too, I have potential business travel that is preventing me from committing right now.

Count me as another maybe. Ya'll just starting at Eagle lakes Rd right off of HWY 80? Only time I've attempted this trial it was iced over, never made it to the first river crossing.

Ya, I plan on camping down off Peirce OHV loop near the river. send me a PM and ill send you my number. Otherwise the HAM frequency's work once you get on the trail too.

WHO WANTS TO WHEEL?! :driving:

 

[NorCalTaco]

Its getting closer.
Who's comin?
Who's flakeing?
Bacon.

I'm still game. As I've never gotten to the crossing(s)....how many are we doing and how deep are we talking this time of year? Last time I crossed water that mattered was in FL and it was just mud/sand crap... no rushing creek. I'm not scared to try it but I'll be bringing a rookie with his first 4x4 that he's picking up in a week. Lift, tires and all essentials are ordered. It's super clean and I'd hate to sink it on his first trip. I've done it to mine twice now and well...you can't really refer to mine as "clean" any longer.

It's a 98 with rear locker, we're doing the same lift I have and 35s. If nothing else....I guess I could drive it across for him and then we'll have to give him $hit all night.

I know about the site with the depth chart but can someone post a couple vids of what we are crossing? some of those Fordyce videos look bad! I'm sure it's not like that all the time.

Thanks..

At 45-50 you should be fine with a stock truck. I doubt the flows will be extreme this year since we got all rain and no snow

 

[NorCalTaco]

I dont plan on crossing Fordyce. There are a few spots by the campsites that have water, nothing 31"+ cant handle.

 

[FJizzles]

Been a long time lurker on TTORA. Just moved to NorCal from SoCal and lookin' for some new offroad buddies. Will probably join you guys on this trip.

 

[Dick Foster]

I don't think you're likely to find much water in Fordyce creek at any time this year. It's so damn dry up here the frogs are thirsty and coughing up dust. Be careful, at night they might even rob your coolers for beer.

 

[TheeMikeB]

Are you going to kick me out of the pretty paint crew now?

 

[stlstrs]

Sweet. I'm assuming you traded in the 4 Runner?

 

[NorCalTaco]

Are we there yet bro?

 

[NorCalTaco]

If anyone needs my number, shoot me a PM.
