deer valley is a fun trail. check out california jeeper.com they have descriptions of both trails.I think the water may be real deep at fordyce.also pirate4x4.com has some trail reports.

Jmon,
I went through Fordyce Creek trail last year (sept). It's a very tough trail with lockers and body armor a must. Having >32" tires will make you feel better but I had 245 75 16 tires and I scraped and bumped a lot. This was before the RT spring lift! About the only thing that got damaged were the rear quarter panels. I also managed to bent my stock rear trailing arm. RT arms would've been excellent there but oh well.

The creek at that time was around 100 cfs so it's passable w/o any problems. Camping is very nice in that area.

If you want more info email me.
