A normally dry creek became a torrent of water.

We ended up crossing this creek two times with the water up to my headlights :huh but no pictures. Was concentrating on trying to make it through. :deal
My stock XJ made it through with only one slip on the worst climb :davidto but I did have to pick much different lines than the highly modified trucks I was with.

breather as seen in photo #1. Nervy crossing the creek like that. Twice
ta boot.
Was in a Jeep , on a Washington beach, a ton of years ago.
The driver took us into a pretty fair sized creek and paused in the middle.
Long enough to let her sink in deep as the rushing water pushed the sand out from under the tires. I figured we were in trouble about then, but he just worked us, with some effort, right out. Was glad for that.
Yeah it was a fun trip and the XJ performed pretty good. The water crossings were a bit deep but we made it just fine.

A snorkel is on my list but is used more to reduce dust and dirt than water here in the Southwest.
Thanks for the comments.
