James River

The road south of James River heading back to Salt Branch Loop can get sandy in dry weather.

Looks like you guys were having fun.

 

[vicrider]

Thanks. We surely did! Want to try it again through the deep end and see how far we can go through without dropping the bike

Rumor has it if you go left (the direction you were going) just off the actual road it is a lot less slippery.

My recent James River wipeout. We went up stream a tad. Of course, I was the only one to go down. I can faintly hear the revs go up just as my front dropped down a little 2" shelf.

And then, the walk of shame!

I'm going eventually but with my jeep

I can't believe how low the water is there! That looks like a totally different crossing! Man, it's been a long time since I've been thru there...

I could barely walk it.

We were about 20 yards to the side of the road so you are not seeing the actual road.

That's a slippery son of a gun that'll catch just about anybody who rides it enough. The worst I've seen by large measure was a small creek up in the Ozarks. Wet soapstone maybe? I don't know but it was like riding/ standing on a layer of marbles. Crazy thing is, it had nothing to do with algea. Back in the woods totally covered from sunlight. Clean solid material but natures own greased Teflon.

Looks like the Llano River crossing just by Dos Rios Campground. As a "outsider", I did not know about
how slippery those crossings are; Sure enough I went down and could hardly walk across. Bumped into
someone who told be to cross downstream; Not sure if it was safer as I stayed far away from that crossing !
