Has anyone made a run out to Creek Falls recently? Its a popular hang-out with the people from my school so with summer starting I was wondering if I'm going to be able to drive to the falls or if I'll be stuck walking the railroad tracks like last summer. I know I came close to making it to the falls last summer when my ZJ was bone stock and I was really inexperienced... it was an oddly placed rock on the last big hill up to the falls that kept me from making it. I figure now that I have the 2" BB and 31's (and more stickers) I should be able to drive to the waterfall. But then again, I've heard the trail conditions there have become progressively worse. Anyone know if it will be possible or not?

i was out there on memorial day,
the main trail to the stream crossing is about the same. the stream crossing was a tad deeper than usual, but not bad....
from there on, the trail didn't seem any worse
i think i know exactly the rock you're talking about....if you take it slow, i'm pretty sure you can make it to the falls.

i shredded my tailpipe sliding back down this mud bank...

I think I saw your jeep in the last couple days when I was at Advance in the corolla.

right now it's hard to miss with a tow strap holding what's left of my tailpipe off the ground :lol:

Yeah, I have seen it there. I drive by there all the time. At first I thought you were Jeff (Happycamper) because his Jeep looks VERY similar.

It's amazing that we don't cross paths more. I drive through bridgeville and carnegie everyday and I think I've only seen you once.

That's because normally I am in a white Lumina. :wink:
