Title: Something for early February
Post by: silverfox on January 05, 2019, 07:06:10 PM: Ok so Domino will be trail ready this month and I have clearance from my Docs that I can go out wheeling in Feb...so if any of y’all would like to do something relatively low key...it has been 5 years. I would love to get out and do a run.

Was thinking something like Lost Knife...open to suggestions though.

Thoughts???

We don't have a winch yet but will be ready by then. My Name is Anton and i have used to off road with few of the people here. Used to have an orange JK 2009.
What date were u thinking on February.

Post by: silverfox on January 08, 2019, 08:39:06 PM: There are a few possibilities. Gonna talk to some of the senior members (by that I mean old codgers) and see what we can get set up.

Mid week isn’t impossible for me but weekends are easier.

I could make the 3rd work....thoughts on a run Matt? Been a few years and the FLUZ have changed since I have been out.

I won’t be able to confirm the third until about a week before when I have a better idea of my February schedule.
As far as a route, Lost Knife sounds like a good start... all depends on weather conditions between now and then.

Post by: silverfox on January 11, 2019, 11:03:26 PM: I will be up 3 inches and on 37’s after Monday so Lost Knife would be no issue. I can make the 3rd work.

Will we have enough rigs to make it worthwhile....prob need at least 3. I can run tail be nice to have a few more. Hell I will even cook us up some steaks for lunch somewhere along the way.

Post by: MattMan on January 12, 2019, 12:09:38 AM: I did say it would be a good “start”... 8)
then trail marker 88-95... and see what we’re up for after that. ;)

And yes, at least 3 capable rigs would be nice 👍

Where is the trail located?
Look up the “Ghost” PLUZ map on the AEP.alberta.ca site:
http://aep.alberta.ca/recreation-public-use/recreation-on-public-land/public-land-use-zones/default.aspx (http://aep.alberta.ca/recreation-public-use/recreation-on-public-land/public-land-use-zones/default.aspx)

There’s a georeferenced PDF map showing the trail system and numbered markers.

Post by: Anton on January 13, 2019, 10:13:56 AM: Got it. Thanks. Hopefully all goes as planned and we can go out. It has been over 6 years since i have been out wheeling.

Post by: silverfox on January 14, 2019, 01:45:08 PM: Sorry guys.

I just realized that is Super Bowl Sunday. It’s an annual thing I do with my kids...haven’t missed in 8 years, I can do the 2nd but not the 3rd.

So unless a date change I am out for this one.

Post by: Anton on January 14, 2019, 03:24:26 PM: I 100% agree with you family comes first. We unfortunately cannot do the second because we are coming off night shift and I'm already booking off a shift to go out on the 3rd. If most of you guys decide to go in the second we understand no issues. However if you decide to go on a weekday just let me know I'm sure we can work it out and go in the weekday. But we are still good to go on the 3rd.

Post by: Anton on January 17, 2019, 03:09:01 PM: Hey guys, would February 2 work better? I know it would work for SilverFox. Anyone else? I just need to book off my shift for that.

Post by: MattMan on January 17, 2019, 08:44:38 PM: I won’t be able to confirm any Feb dates until the week before...
Title: Re: Something for early February
Post by: silverfox on January 17, 2019, 08:52:02 PM: I am happy to do Saturday. If we have 3 trail capable rigs...winches, tow points (front and rear),recovery gear and radios...FRS is fine if you don’t have a club radio. I am happy to get us lost (I mean lead).

Title: Re: Something for early February
Post by: Anton on January 22, 2019, 01:01:37 PM: Unfortunately my self and my friend we can't do the 16th. How ever we are free to do the 2ed and the 3rd.
Title: Re: Something for early February
Post by: silverfox on January 23, 2019, 09:41:46 PM: I am still up for the second provided we have another rig or two.

Post by: Anton on January 31, 2019, 09:26:32 AM: Ya no worries. I was about to post that weather is going to be pretty bad plus our jeep will be done on Saturday so we can't go out.

Post by: MattMan on January 31, 2019, 07:38:12 PM: Things go below-18c and you’re pushing the ‘safe’ factor. Parts break more easily and ya don’t want to be dealing with that out in the backcountry.
