The tree did save the day. Cause after that was even uglier. The roof line had a small dent but nothng major.
I tried to come in up river and make it across before the tree and the other major snags in the river but that didnt happen so much......
I did however, after getting my truck to dry dock repair the shore line I tore up after my spinning tires made a mess of it.
This trail is in TN and it is the second time Ive made a river crossing there and had a bit of trouble, it all turned out ok though.
(oh and SID you would have been fine brother,NO worries!)

No they were in the "starting" side. Im the only foolish snorkel owner and so I tested it, as Ive done once before on this river (up stream the other time) and both times I did the crossing and everyone said come back were not going to make it.
Ahh such is life.
It was a good time we had a newbie on the trip and his eyes are wide open to distance offroad driving now. It was cool.

It makes a great story, Daniel --- glad you survived...
I prefer a nice bridge or simple stream like we had by camp the other night; I'm too old for serious deep stuff:

That looks puddlish at best. I wish I could find videos of me in my 95 Toyota pu bow waving through a canal with no snorkel or a might have had one by then IDR. ANyhow the bow wave was well over the hood like a surfer looking at the backside of a set coming into shore.

Are you saying that 7" does not a river make??? :snorkel:
It was an admitted poser pic as we were leaving camp. I didn't have to coax Mike into action very hard though.
Everybody loves a poser pic now and then...

It might not be deep, but that is one cool photo. Send it in for the ExPo home page.

I think my humor fails to be expressed when I post, and no in my ipinion 7" does not make a river but a creek or crick if you will. Though if you ask the inland water navigation division they might be able to better asses the correct terminology based on flow. See that was me being funny. Hilldweler if we ever mmet you will soon grasp my sarcastic outlook as I'm pretty laid back and never to serious. Yes as poser shots go its great, he could be racing or outrunning the law I Like it!
