    For all going tomorrow- that have not done so before: Due to recent storms, expect at least one water crossing that is near headlight deep- in swift moving water. There are other hub deep crossings as well. I recall a muddy spot that was about skid plate deep or so.

    Also, if there there is a closed gate about mid point on the trail- the alternate route has at least one large rock outcropping that is off camber and slick. This route (if the gate is closed) tends to the SOUTH; pops out on/near hwy 209.
    Enjoy! It's a nice little run! :thumbsup: :burnrubber:

    @EricL do you have the pics of the water crossings?? or the videos? Can't find mine!

    That’s the only way I’ve ever been down hurricane. Never seen the water crossings that high though.

    Found the pic with the deepest water we encountered:
    F896CE34-558F-432E-9770-5F3704E7D6CB.jpg

    Other crossings were hub/fog light deep.

    Edit: This is @EricL with stock suspension.

    A little off camber too. Water was moving right to left in this pic though.

    Someone has made a slight dam to the left to help slow the water, as it drops down. Don’t go that way. :rolleyes:

    Over all the majority of the trail is easy. To be on the safe side- just wanted to share what I experienced in the past there. Wish I could go tomorrow! :thumbsup:

    Wow I have never seen the water that high! That area of the mountains may have ducked out of some of the rain we have had this week so I think we should be okay!

    For the wheelers meeting us at the trail head!
    Go ahead on up to where the trail opens up and there is some houses, we will meet you there!

    When you guys come up out of Waynesville and hit 40w, you're not already west of the rest area, right?
    Why aren't we just rallying up at the westbound rest area a mile from the entrance?

    It's up to you man, we have a few guys with recovery straps, however on skinny trails like hurricane it is possible for things to hit the fan quickly when it comes to recovery.

    I mean I made it through most of auger trail/chestnut mtn. I’ll likely be a Gametime decision.

    @Matic what time were you planning to be at the trailhead? If I go I could meet you at the rest area and we could go in to the campsites together and wait for the others.
