I would like to do another Fordyce full day run if flows allow. I'm thinking September 22nd.

If flows are too high on game day, we can go to the first river crossing and back out.

Vehicles must meet the club minimum requirements, plus the following additional requirements:

  • Previous experience on any Fordyce (intro run experience okay), Rubicon, Barrett, or similar difficulty run
  • No rear Dana 35
  • No metal valve stems
  • Must have rear locker
  • Minimum 35" tires

Post up if interested.

I would be interested in being your co-pilot if you don't already have one.  Maybe we can also find some very narrow goat paths to explore again.

How are things looks for the Fordyce run on the 15th?  I will need to put in for time off at my work if we are a go.  Do we have any other rigs confirmed to go on this run?  I talked to a guy that made all three water crossings last weekend.  He said the flows were still up a bit...

Thanks!

I need to push this out one more week to 9/22. I hope that doesn't cause any inconvenience for anyone.

If flows remain high, this will end up being and in-and-out run to the first river crossing.

Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

Flows are slowly decreasing. If there are no takers, would anyone like to be on standby?

I have everything needed to stay overnight if I have to.

This will either be a run out Committee, or a run to the first river crossing+ and out.

Josh, it's my understanding that anything over 300 is getting dicey. Obviously it depends on the vehicle. A flow rate of 150 cfs should be no problem.

Jeff is correct. You’ll be fine at 150cfs.

Awesome day! No rescue required. It was a Fordyce winter wonderland with a fresh dusting of snow. Although, on the way back out some jerk made tracks in all the fresh snow! silly
