So I decided I would go and check out the place I was asking about for myself. I got there and there were 2 jeeps already at the place driving around. I stayed on the pavent and walked down to ask them who owned the land. The guy began to tell me it was public land and he had been coming down there about once a week for a year or so to drive his jeep around. I came down "duncan road" pictured below, the road leads right into the creek as you can see, then the road continues after the creek as you can see. He said people are there all the time and that it is used daily by people that use "duncan road". In the other picture you can 3 cars and some people and 4 wheelers.

I figured I would join the heeps and show them how a xterra does it. I almost got stuck once, there was a spot of really deep dry bed rock that I tried to turn around in.

So we had a little line of thunder storms come through last night and it down poured for about 5 minutes, it must have rained more there than it did at my house :) Can you say I wasn't going to set foot in this creek that had turned into a river with a current! I can normally drive through it with EASE. In my original post, 3rd picture of my Xterra you can see how low it normally is.

Some of my amateur video skills lol. The camera on top on my windshield is a old crappy camera so thats why the footage from above the hood turned out awful. A couple days ago I was looking at likes build thread where he slid into that tree on his drivers door and I was seeing that happening to myself, you can see in the video how close I come to hitting it!

This is worth your time so read it all :D

Now that its all said and done today was a awesome/funny day! It started out meeting at the fast station at 9am, my buddy couldn't take his dads jeep so he ended up taking his 4x2 nissan pathfinder...luckily we had my friends lifted 4x4 f150 with us (he saved the day multiple times).
I lead the group out to the spot pictured above. We drove around for a bit and then found a trail I didn't know about so it was fords time to shine...well even with a lift he bottomed his rear diff out and got stuck. The Xterra was there to save the day!

After pulling him out we washed off in the creek and began to fish, well that lasted for a few minutes lol. We grabbed something to eat at the store up the street then headed to a place my buddy in the pathfinder knew about. It looked intimidating but it was pretty shallow stuff that is until your tires get caked in mud and it turns them into track slicks. Well me and the f150 made it to the creek fine, we left the pathfinder up at the trail beginning because he didn't want to get muddy at the time.
We then decided to take his pathy through the trails, may I remind you its 4x2 lol
He made it just fine until we decided to turn around then he got stuck BIG time.

I was then nominated to go get the kathy with my xterra. I didn't make it far until I got hung up, lost momentum and got stuck. Then I got uber pissed because a tree decided to rape my drivers side!!!

In this pic its against my rear tire but once I backed up some it hit my drivers side body.

We got me out and onto dry grass thanks to the f150.
Now it was the 4x4 f150's turn to go get the pathy. It made it just fine!
Hooked up and got the pathy out no problems. Since my X was back down the trail and I was pretty muddy I decided to hop in the truck bed....BAD choice! The f150 hit a rut and the truck kicked me up onto my feet. He then hit the side of the mud rut and the truck threw me up into the air about 8ft from the ground and I flew out over the truck and landed into the mud pit...with a 1 week old iPhone 4S and my keys with a flash drive with ALL my school papers saved to it. FML OH and I landed on my back which is pretty sore at the moment. I had already had my door raped by the tree and now I'm covered in mud, soaking wet with my brand new phone in my pocket The phone seems to be okay now thanks to a otter box and my keys are still sitting in rice.
Then we did a 10 point turn in the f150 to get my unstuck and he bashed his bumpers against a few trees. All in all Im sure I have some scratched and dents on my drivers side (they are still covered in mud so I can't tell) and he's down a trailer hitch insert.
We then went back into the creek cleaned the tires out and made it out just fine! Thank God!!
