Steve,

Don't go there. Would hate to read a newspaper story about a drowned
Vanagon owner.

If you have moving water over a couple of inches deep, it's way to
dangerous. A foot of water with any movement can move your vehicle right
off the road, then you will be in real du-du because most roads are
slightly elevated above the shoulder for drainage purposes. Immediately
off the road the water deepens quickly.  You would be going from the
frying pan into the fire.

It dips down as it passes an estuary and for the second time in the past couple of weeks it had something over a foot of water on it for about 150m or so. To date I've chickened out testing the vanagon through the floods but I'm sorely tempted. The alternative adds about 20 min travel time (at least there is an alternative).
