cleaning my tires at a bridge washout - Land Rovers Only

stolenheron · 02-22-2008, 02:01 PM

nothing crazy just a relaxing tire wash

.... just one of the low bridges/culverts washed over in the National Forest. Drove around explored, saw the water, had my friend get out and he took a bunch of pics of me going back and force. my Canon powershot (my little point and shoot) had some difficulty autofocusing

because it was very cloudy...but if it hadn't rained, i would have never had this water to plain in.

and excuse my friend for his shitty camera work..i'm disappointed i didn't have a better camera and camera man

before the water

It's always fun to explore. Where in the National Forest were you adventurin'?

Tuskeegee National Forest, you're restricted to the marked dirt roads. Rangers block trails off as soon as they are made. every once in a while (like this weekend) you'll have something fun like that washout to drive through.

Cool, the white is easy to find..LOL!

Damn, even the water is red in the home of rednecks. That's scary. Happy to see you out and using your truck, as it's meant to be.

i'm pissed, i drove back to this spot today, the bridge is backout from underwater...water level dropped 16"....i guess my "mini-flashflood" fun will have to wait til the next big string of thunderstorms..

You should try and come up to the spring rally in Richloam (just north of tampa) . See my sig for a link to the website and check the calender for the dates. There will be trails of all different levels. Gordo

Some good water crossings if you ever get out towards Moab. This is driving up the Dolores River, following the trail.
