You get any pics of North Fork fish creek?

Edit: this incoming storm is due to be the strongest in 10 years for ocotillo. So Miah really wasn't joking saying we might be some of the last people to ever drive up that wash. EVERYTHING will be very different after this storm

There's a large tw group going to superstition this weekend and they were planning fish Creek. Gave them a heads up about the mud near Diablo and the amount of mud we were finding all over the place. I'd be willing to bet even sandstone is changing after this weekend's storm.

If you are still in touch with them I would encourage them to change their plans. There WILL be flash flooding in nearly all washes, fish creek is very susceptible

I should have taken more pix. I was concentrating too much on the tight turns and canyon. Hehe! Now I wish I'd taken more pix because of this storm changing the landscape. Glad we got to explore.

They're mostly experienced guys and I'm sure they'll recognize the dangers but I'll be sure to pass it along. We got pretty lucky with the weather last weekend. Miah, Kunaal, and I were eyeballing our Friday night camping because of the way it was sloped.

Nice pics, looks like you guys had a great trip. Were those pictures of the climb up into the Sheep Canyon campsite area?? It looks like someone bulldozed it compared to how it was a year ago!

Ya the rock garden wasn't very ....rocky. Super easy kind of a let down but the campsite made up for it

I went up it last January too and it was much smoother this time around.

The reason why you will find it "NOT so rocky" at times is actually because of the two female rangers they have a guy bring in fill dirt and pack it all in when it gets to be too "ROCKY" for them that's the honest truth go figure ...so much for leaving it as "natural terrain"
 
Yeah. They complain about how bad it is when they have to collect the fees from the campground. Were the toilets okay? They were overflowing when we were there.

Sad I missed Sunday. It may take a loooong while for those canyons to open up again.
 
[MENTION=123332]Drunner97[/MENTION] those photos you shared are trails to get to the camp-site, or general playing around?

Just need to understand what to expect.

That's all playing around mostly. The last set is Sandstone Canyon. Depends where you're planning on camping. Sheep Creek was mellow, there's been some pictures of the water crossing and rock garden leading up to that campsite already.

Yup those are the trails and obstacles that you will encounter in prefer to get to the campsites..
 
Damage report:

Just pulled the 3 front skids and dumped about 10 lbs of mud on the street. Bent all 3 aluminum skids, along with a nice bend in my steel gas skid. Sliders got worked on both sides front to rear. Knocked my exhaust off a hanger, destroyed a valve so I can't get more than 30 psi into that tire. Surprisingly belts and pulleys all look and sound okay. Good bloody times. Hahha.
