Outside of the Rubicon and the Dusy Ershim, Fordyce is without question one of toughest trails in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and depending on who you talk to, the hardest of the three. While it wasn’t our original plan to run this trail, it wouldn’t be the first time we’ve gone off script, on a whim and really, that’s the kind of thing that makes an epic trek like this so much fun. That being said, we hadn't planned on running Fordyce and so we knew nothing about the water levels or the overall condition of the trail and in spite of knowing that it'd be a crapshoot, we chose to take our chances and roll the dice of fate. Unfortunately for us, we would come up with a pair of SNAKE EYES and this is the story of our fateful trip.

This is a project that Cindy and I started a few years back but had to shelve due to other commitments. We've recently dug it up out of the archives and revisited it because we felt that it was still a great story and one that was worth sharing. A big thanks needs to go out to our good friends Doug, his friend John, Jeff, Don, Lori, Ray, Mel from Off Road Evolution and his son, little Mel.

Thank you Cindy & Eddie !

Fantastic video and what i've learned from it is that Fordyce is like a mystery trail, you never know what you're going to get at the end of the day. :)

Awesome video! Truly tremendous! So, I try to learn something from every video...so how does one avoid frying their winch battery cable? What causes that?

another great video Eddie! Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together!

Man a car fire is something that really scares me. what is the reason Jeff's rig caught fire, and what are some things to prevent this?

Wow

Great editing, I had never heard of this trail. But if I ever get out to the West Coast it is really one that I would like to give a try.

And a welder? I've never thought of packing a welder, was that an instance where you knew it was close to going out. Or is that seriously just part of your normal trail gear?

Any who great video.

Video was great, just like the others I have watched time and time again. The jeeps that appear in all the videos are incredible machines and make the most difficult trails look tolerable. Hard to imagine a jeep with 40 inch tires crossing that much water. Can't wait for the next adventure video.
