Title: Trail Ride on OCTOBER 17/09....Top Of The World
Post by: Shearcon79 on September 26, 2009, 10:29:34 PM

Looking to do a run maybe to TOP OF THE WORLD, Mclean Creek on Saturday October 17.  I don't know the area too well so would love it if some other more experienced people would join.  My Bro will be visiting from Ontario and I want to take him on a run.

If I get my drive shaft back in and if I can find a spare back shock I will come along. That run was a lot of fun.

Should be fine as long as you have front and rear recovery points, a full size spare and good tread on the tires.  There is one spot you will have to get pulled (depending on the way they go).  There is a bypass around every obstacle.

I would say that the usual 9:00am at the store is a good plan.  And again...tow points front and rear...full size spare...and a CB would be good but an FRS radio may do if that is what you have.  I am still hoping that someone that is familiar with the area will be joining us.

I'm looking forward to this run..probably my last until next season.  I need to do some mods to the heep, like some d44's out of a waggy and maybe some low gears.  Also want to build a front bumper with winch mount capabilities and put in an upper console with all lights, cb and winch switching built in.

Turns out I will not have a CB for this one.  It burned up and warranty repair is gonna be like 6 weeks.  I will bring my 2 FRS radio's.

Considering the strong possibility of ice, as opposed to snow and/or mud, out in McLean... are chains recommended for this run?

 It' supposed to be 6 degrees overnight, 5 degrees in the morning and 15 in the afternoon at Bragg Creek.
