Ok so I liked this from a different site.
We all seem to be on the road a lot and see crazy things. Be it wheeling. Driving to work. Traveling. Whatever.
So let's see what's out there and where you go.
Only to basic 'rules'
Must be your pic.
Must be from behind the wheel. Either obviously based off the pic, or have some of the dash or whatever visible.

Let's see what ya have and see. Here's some examples.

Your first pic looks like that was getting to be an interesting drive with the water coming down.

That was Bill Moore last year probably around the first weekend of August after all the rain we got in September; if any of you have ran it since then that's where that big washout came from. Mill Creek was completely flooded (Lake Ethel is the source) The trail is far more difficult - and bumpy now. The downpours ended for us right as we got to the lot up top. We set up camp, hiked to Byron and Ethel lake and had some incredible fishing and views. That's a trip I won't soon forget. The water you see in that picture was nothing compared to how it was about a quarter of a mile after that. Too white knuckled to take any pics at that point. There were big washouts everywhere and things were slick and tippy.

Not to get off thread topic; but here's some from that trip.

Is that my white 96 coming down Tincup?? Was that cold a$$ night we spent up there with Joey?
 
No, that's Tracy's (Mingo) rig- COFest 2005.


You're thinking of when we camped out for Memorial Day 2006 and got snowed on briefly.

I like that last one Troy. You know some fun was going down. :D

Some will recall........ that was Crunch and BLoose a couple days before a COFest in '05 IIRC. They wanted to hit some twisty roads before 'wheeling - particularly Bob as he had made the trek from Wisconsin.

That pic is them trying to keep up with my '04 GTO..... Well, better described as them RAPIDLY catching up to me after we'd just dropped off a twisty road and hit the highway..... :D

This is all I've seen past few weeks at work. Be sitting on location while they drill out the plugs and get the site to completion. Being paid to nap is nice though.
