    Yeah, that's what I needed. I was having to setup for each turn PERFECTLY or else I was pretty much screwed.

    Oh, and about there being water there still. There was TWO areas that still had water in them. The area behind the island is still very deep but you can drive right up to the side of the island that faces the road. So for anyone wondering if you could drive around the island when there's water in there....the answer is no fucking way

    The second place is where the water area hits where the road goes up to the main road that runs into the park entrance. I want everyone to listen to this because it's VERY important. That area has a VERY sharp drop off (essentially a right angle). The area I drove through in the pic below taken last fall is about 2.5ft deep I'd say. If you keep going past where I drove out that's the area where I'm talking about. The important part is this...If the water is like it was in the picture, that area is right about 15 feet deep. Under NO circumstances should you ever even THINK about fording that section.

    (area I'm talking about is just past the roof of my truck in that pic.)

    Scuba required areas. Next time we go out I'm marking that area of the map, "Here be dragons and sea monsters"

    ^I forgot about that. Surprisingly the rig was pretty much untouched. The front fender was a little banged up but nothing serious!

    A few more gouges and a couple dents and I would never know the difference. They all roll the same.
