Title: Palm Creek 2012
Post by: McGirr on May 17, 2012, 12:29:43 PM

Some footage of Palm Creek this year. They are travelling north to south where as we will be driving down this drop off.

This will give you an indication on what to expect. The crossing can and will change as more cars dig it up.

Well we have been getting some late rain up here and also at the Cape. I expect the creeks to still have a fair amount of water in them which will make the trip that little bit more adventurous.

Interesting to see the video of the southern part of the otl his tow bar is bent pretty bad.

Also he was lucky the water was low in all the crossings especially Nolan's.

How hard did he hit that water at nolans? He's lucky to get away with that.
