Dinner plate sized flatish boulders covered in algae. Big enough to throw you off line and slippery as.

At least it was only about half as deep as last year.

I was fine except I stalled it part way thru. Next time I would fit the 15t front sprocket I think.

Yea its oddly tricky, and one problem is, is that there is a similar looking creek not too much before it that is easy to cross. I got way off line and ended up heading up stream a ways before getting on line again.

Mrs B is laughing because she fair whizzed through it last year when it was quite a bit deeper. I didn't come off, but I did stall and got bogged. Thanks to the friendly fellows who were drying out the DR in TA's video, and who came to my assistance.

And it was Skinny that assisted me when I stalled in that same ford last year = karma.

Camera stayed hidden under too many layers for the snow.

We hit that one about 5:45pm and mini shrek attempted to go straight through the hole on his XRL250...
