        My goal yesterday was to drive around Lake Arenal. When we got to this, Paula put the kybosh on it. I suggested that we wait until we saw another car cross, but that was rejected. We have a bleeding Land Cruiser Prado FFS.....

            I would have lobbied hard for doing it. It’s probably best that you and I don’t travel together. At least not without wives.

                  The stories the locals would tell would be epic. Stuff of legends. Or cautionary tales more likely.

                            @goosehd not before watching a local do it himself or carefully wading across ourselves to check it out. But it looks very doable. Water level appears to be at lower than maximum and the vehicle tracks show that it is a regularly used crossing.
                            These rocky river beds tend to be more straightforward than the sandy ones.

                            The journey is the objective.

                                Yeah, that method should also work very well.

                                  If no local came through and showed Paula it was possible, that is what I wanted to do,. There is a road marked around the whole of the lake, so it must be easily doable.. But even had I done the wade-and-test, the "have you seen the size of the track on the other side, it's non-existent, it clearly is never used" vibes coming through loud and very clear, meant it was a 100% no go....Had I had someone responsible with me, she may have listened.....

                                      That leaves me out then I guess.
