I dont suggest doing it alone if that is the case (I never suggest solo wheeling), but even so, you should be fine. I would avoid the big water crossing like the plague though. Do a search in here for our trip last year there. We tried the water crossing and it almost turned ugly. Another group went and it did turn ugly. I personally dont like seeing water pour out from around my shifter but to each his own

yep. Other than that it is a pretty basic run if you stay along the hydro lines. Apparently the run into the Lake is pretty good too but I havent done that one. Send rob ( Tunes on here) a PM, he knows the area pretty good.

Well we made it back, had a blast. We met up with some guys on their way back to the dam at the lake,anyway that is what we done, they talked us out of doing the Hydro line. I don't know if it is a more diffucult run than back to the dam? I had my hand full going to the dam. There was a little more water than I cared for. The dudes we followed in sure helped the first time. Joe I think his name was has been going back there for 18 years, owns 50 acers the other side of the dam, great guys, he had a built TJ 06 4.5 terra flex lift with 35's winch cage the whole nine yards. Other dude Nissan pick up with 33's not sure about lift. Oh yea had a bear run up the road in front of us for about 220 yds. Had a little leakage around Drivers door, and nearly some in my pants going through the second water crossing. Gi New camera = poor shots
