    You think some over zealous asshole in a stock 3rd gen with some 265/75/16's A/T's and a rear diff breather mod could cross that without filling the cab?

    In this scenario I am the stock asshole who wants to keep his cab dry, but has the parts for a breather mod.

    The road way to the camping areas are clear. Trees been cleared, only way that @Fernando could have made it to that spot with him in the water. Water crossing is a long one little deep but doable. Will get someone to up load my video of that part later.

    The guys doing a turn around was probably coming off of Signal peak/ Fordyce trails itself probably. More than likely patches of snow on the trail, as I found it like that in other spots in the Bowman rd. area @ 6300+ elev.

    I need to do a TC LCA tab replacement next week or I would have gone in on 1 of them trails to find out.

    After looking at a map again, I initially went the right way. I was looking at the trail map posted at the entrance when I saw this rock buggy come rolling out. I thought I was in the wrong place. Next time.

    The sign on the way in is now a shiny piece of Swiss cheese. Doesn't look like this anymore thanks to some mental midgets.

    How were the campsites? Can you cross the river or was it too high?
    That looks similar to when some of us went last year.

    Nobody's getting across that river until the snow melt off is done.
    Going to the back campsites is where @Rmoreno1 went up and didn't have a saw to get through. By the time I got there, another group help themselves to it.

    We camped right before there, another large secluded area to hold a group in.

    I'll be attempting Signal Peak on Saturday. Last I heard it's not possible to get to the top yet. Still snow up there.

    Yep. To give you an idea how far we got last Sunday, we ran into some Jeeps that were turning around at about the 3:20 mark of part 2.
