River crossing flooded, 12-24-10

[fireride]

Good luck to everyone heading out to the D. To sketchy for me, heading out to Cal city or Jawbone canyon. Close to home, risk vesus gain if you know what Im saying. Everyone who posted up reports 10 gold stars. I really appreciate it. Turning this into a good old family camping hang out trip. After all its what the season is really about. BRapp have fun all and Merry Xmas.

I am leaving to dumont tomorrow (monday) morning and will arrive to the river around 10am. Will I be able to make in thru the river with a 40 foot deesil pusher (sorry about my spelling) and a 25 foot double stacker trailer?

after watching that video and seeing those pics earlier....I doubt it unless the BLM is there today.

[sand chick]

Didnt that semi break the oil pan when he crossed?

[bonz21]

I cant imagine the blm not fixing or attempt to fix the road due to the revenue they generate for a new years weekend.

[fctryblack84]

my parents left this morning with all the toys on the flat bed. they are meeting my aunt and uncle in baker with there 5th wheel. they said that there not gonna chance it an just stay at Lil dumont. best of luck to whoever crosses the river. happy duning!

[tazz3069]

Anymore updates if the BLM showed up to pick this?

[sand chick]

The water is barely flowing today. And people seen to be able to cross carefully. Just saw a guy go through with fifth wheel and trailer, he made it. No sign of blm today either.

Happy duning everyone!

[Doghouse]

thanks a bunch for the updates. I know how important it is for me to know the condition and I'm sure everyone else is grateful for the constant flow (pun intended) of new info on the crossing.

[tazz3069]

Awesome. I will let all my peeps know.

[sand chick]

I would still be super careful going g that way although the water has slowed it still looks nasty also we just came from the way that people go from little d and there were four mohos stuck bad

[bonz21]

i think i might drive out tuesday to see how bad it is. i'll let everyone know what i see.

[fresburgginger]

When was that taken, David?

As of 4 o clock today H Town Performance said some 4WD's and even some moho's made it through ok. I'm sure it's rough and somewhat sketchy, but they made it.
