You have a point. I suppose it won't be too much work to throw them in the back of the tow rig.

06, Moab usually gets something like 9 inches of rain total for the year. They had 6 inches the week of Fall Fling.

Kane Creek. Normally doesn't have enough water to come to the bottom lip of your wheels.

Fins and Things. It was a total river in places. Normally just dry washes.

So, you are saying it couldn't happen again?
It may not rain like that but it can always rain enough to make you feel like a drowned rat with no doors.

There was a point where the shortie in front of me was drifting sideways in the water.... It took me 2 months nearly to dry the carpet!
