Now we see why you were asking about fording depth! What a day! Looks like it was full of action-packed action. I like that pic of the guy sitting on his Suzuki stranded in the water. The one taken from the side. I hope his differential vents, etc. were high enough because it looks like he was in the pond a while...
Gussie's right - you're lucky to have an adventurous girlfriend like that. She didn't just ride along in the mudfest, she actually got out and dragged cable through a swill hole. I'd say she's a keeper!
You need to get her some gloves to match those purple wellies though...
