Drive in the country

Darin · 11-07-2021, 09:43 AM

Found this low water bridge out in a national park here in OK.

As I've already been whipped and beaten on facebook about 'omg hydrolock!' I am tracking all of it. This is a paved road. This shot was not an accident. While setting up power and smoke machine i walked the route. I knew the depth, and flow of the stream. Its lower than what happens on our neighborhood roads during some storms. Dozens of cars drove this - a prius, civic, a4, impala, and a Miata to name a few. The water barely hit the top of the toe of my boots. I know about bow waves and air intakes and all those things. Was a very safe crossing - despite what folks think they see in the pic that i didn't see in real life. The second shot (a throwaway) shows the static depth compared to the front lip.
