This was a bit of an "oops" situation....... Some of us went over to Labiche, which is about a 3 hour drive with
4-wheelers over rough trails. On the way we encountered this river, which as you can tell from the people
out in it, is fairly deep.

....And it proved a little TOO deep for our machines! The Ranger just died from the plugs fouling, and the Yamaha
plowed right on through. But unfortunately the air intake on the Gator is under the passenger seat,
and the riders seats got wet.... So that gives you some idea how high the water came, which proved too
high for the Gator. It got water in the engine and froze up.... :(  Beautiful scenery around though.

A tap-tap charging through.... You really wouldn't believe the kinds of roads
these big trucks go down every day here.

"Well we made it again....."



No, I WASN'T the one driving the gator when it died, in fact I was the rescuer this time... I brought the dump truck
out and we loaded up and headed out with 'er....
