There are a lot of good Cell phone cameras out there, especially if you are running something like the Blackberries!

I have the snorkle installed now, so I will make the crossing. As for poison Oak, you do not ever want to get that little Rash, had a buddy that was hospitalised with it and missed a month of work he has it so bad. Makes poison Ivy look like a walk in the park.

We were all on 31`s except the TJ on 35`s. All open diffs except me at that time and I was only locked in the rear. Deepest water hole was the last one were Lowrad was swimming about 3'. But it was much dryer than pictures I seen of Bushwacker, Stinger and Iron Pig when they done it in 05? Last year was even dryer that the year before. But it is defiantly doable with 31`s and open diffs.

Oh cause it looked like some of those jeeps were on 35" swampers maybe a different groop & big blue looked like he was pretty much allway thru. Yeah definatly a wet part of the year or lots of rain but that made for some pretty good pictures, & thanks to LOw i have a whole new perspective on submersables lol, its cool to watch all the guys work together looks like a very good team hope to meet some this year.
