Default Fordyce Creek, California (Renamed: Hell's Halfacre)

Here are some pics from my trip to California last week. I made last minute plans with HummBebe (H3) and Sewie(H3) to go on a wheeling trip before the season got to cold. We decided to run a trail known as Fordyce which is located North of the Rubicon, on the north side of I-80.

We left on Wednesday morning, planning on being back to the trailhead by Thursday evening before a snow storm was predicted to hit. That was the plan anyway......

Here's some pics of the first day:

The creek is beautiful! We crossed it 4 times in all. We only planned to run half the trail, apparently after the last crossing called Committee crossing, there is a squeeze that is impossible for full size rigs to fit thru. Not that other parts of the trail aren't tight, especially for an H2.

Have you ever picked up a rock in your tire? Wow! Those new KM2's really have a lot of grip. Phew! This thing weighed about 10 lbs and was wedged in between the wheel well and the tire. I had to use the 2" air suspension lift to get it out!

We kept going until late in the night because it started snowing right at dark. Bebe had made the river crossing that night and got high centered on a rock on the other side of the river. She freed herself from the rock but couldn't make any progress. This pic is at sunrise the next morning after Sewie went over to help her out. Her winch was jammed and she couldn't get the cable free by herself.

This is when her winch gave up the ghost for good.

At this point, Sewie had broken his front diff. Bebe made one phone call and we had help on the way. The WeBuilt 4WD club came to the rescue! They were headed out to the trail anyway, and turned it into a recovery run. What a great group of guys! They were even nice enough to ask if my kids had food and clothes. (we did but it was very generous of them to ask)

These are the last pics I took of the trip. It was the last river crossing and it was the only time I had to take any pictures.

Thanks Gawd for WeBuilt 4WD Club and WARN winch!

I thought of you! I had my kids with me, and they had to spend the last day in the car. I bribed em bad. I told them if they stayed in and let me work, I'd let them eat wherever they wanted when we got out. I found myself at the pizza place and the cheeseburger place later that night. They did awesome!

The Rubicon was easier.

OK now,

When Rox doesn't break anything, it must have been an easy trail. That jammed rock tried to break her, but in an H2, it's just a pebble.


Is ther ANY run where an H3 does not break something? & Nagged.


Looks like you guys had fun though! Great job Rox!
