My boys and I went for a "mancation" to CAW over this past weekend. Earlier in the week they had 8+ inches of snow. Saturday the snow really started to melt and the run off made a normally mild creek that is usually clear and 1-2' deep a raging river. I went across first in the RZR4. I eased into the river in 2wd and started across when it staring taking us down stream. I nailed the throttle and managed to power out but it was a bit butt puckering. My youngest was in the 800 and I heard him come across the radio "No way dude, I'm not crossing that!" After some convincing he'd be ok and some directions on how to cross it he made it just fine. Here's the video. We have another video of a Maverick we egged into crossing, poor guy almost did not make it. I'll post in in a few when I upload it.
