Getting into the stream was interesting. It required we make a three point turn and then go down a 24 inch embankment. There was more sliding and a lot of wheel spinning required to get the truck to slide and scrape its was down into the water. Once in the water we saw places where the water was 6 inches deep and others where it was a couple feet deep. You would creep forward, jump your way over rocks, and then discover how deep it was on the other side of the rock. Once in a while it was too deep on the other side of the rock and you needed to back up before it got too deep and then go more right or more left. Watching the truck in front of us (S&S Towing’s yellow H2) was very helpful.
We worked out way down the stream. At one point we went over a rock and when we came down it was VERY deep on the passenger side. My H2 rolled hard right and came down very hard on the right side rock bar. To be more precise… There was a horrible and hideous noise as the truck careened to the right. We were rolled so far over we put a two foot scrape into the OUTSIDE of the rock bar in the 2 o’clock position. We also saved the heavy plastic trim (above!) the rock bar. Props to hummer for the trim design. The plastic trim was heavy enough that it took the abuse and saved the sheet metal. The rock bar was scraped down to the bare metal.
