Did you south-central NH guys get the heavy, heavy rains we did here in Mass on Sunday?

No heavy rain, just a good steady soaking all day.
Okay. Thanks.
There's a water crossing or two on Trail 1 that *might* not be very "stock friendly" if we get more rain this week.
It will really depend on what we have for vehicles in line for Trail 1.
how deep could it be? A stock LC is like 30" of fording.
Approx. 24" last weekend at the deepest point. With the rain on Sunday, and maybe throughout the week this week according to the forecasts, it will probably rise by a few of inches.
Honestly, I'm not that worried about it. Like I said, it will depend on who/what we have in line behind us for the run. I think we just have to be aware that a 24"-plus water crossing can be pretty intimidating for a newbie who's never been wheeln' if they're driving a late model FJC or 4Runner or Taco with factory tires.
I think you are the other stock-friendly trail leader, Rick? I'll PM you with additional details.

Like I said, no one really needs to be worried about the water crossings on the stock-friendly trails. If we get too much rain this week and those crossings get too deep we will simply replace the trails in question with something else.
That would be this one...
You've already installed a snorkle on that 04 4Runner right? 
Looking for clarification... I know I know... spare me the lecture.
By "REGISTRATION CLOSED", does that mean "don't even bother trying to come, stay home, you're screwed"? I'm not asking anybody to bend the rules, I just want to make sure if I'm reading this correctly.

Andre's problem was traction, nothing more.
Agreed. No one should be the least bit worried about the water crossings planned for the stock-friendly runs. No snorkel required!
