i plan on wheelin on Sat April 3rd.
As it is a first time ever in the CJ, i plan on easy boring stuff.
i would like to go to the Falls, Margeret Lake and than???
My hope would to do it at a moderate pace. Very little stopping.
i would meet at Smittys parking lot in Cochrane at 9 a.m.
Leave at 9:30 sharp.
Anyone want to join me?
-
I would love to. No winch, but I should have my 31's on by then ;D
I will have to run it by the wife (boss) will let you know for sure in the next day or so.... :-[
-
i might join you too, if i can get my jeep fixed from the beeting it took on the sask highways :-\
-
if i can get my gears in for it then ill be up to go .
-
I'd be interested too, if you think my stock, no winch '06 Rubicon LJ would be up to the task.
-
im not a member yet but im in 2010 rubicon 35s and a winch
-
I will be going out that weekend with some friends but will be on ATV's (cheaper then bringing out the trucks!), planing on camping up by the falls.
Might see you out there. ;)
-
All are welcome to come. 8)
Proper tow points front and rear.
Good tires, not balding.
CB.
My personal pet peeve...airing down. Please go to at least 15psi. It will make your day and ours better. :)
Question for folks that know Waiporous. Can we still access Meadow Creek Trail from the cutline opposite the gravel pit? (not the trail that goes by the old CJA/Bogginfreaks campsite but the one that is before that opposite gravel pit).
Thanks
-
Yes, but the ice on the river may be broken.
By the way, the Smitty's has reopened.
-
Thanks Gun. Its been a while but is there other ways to Meadow Creek? What about if we go through the airstrip to the cutline that goes up and over to Maedowcreek?
Thanks for the Smitty info.
:)
-
Odd seeing Tom post a run! lol its been a while!
Anyways, I thought all the wiaprous trails were closed as of march 15?
-
Um, what can I say on that question Spinalguy?
You're forced to take Lost Knife logging road in that case.
-
would love to go but its my bachelor party on saturday so can make if anyone is going sunday morning....make that late afternoon...lets be honest not at all i'll be in bed all day....have a great run. NICK
-
Have a great party Nick....
piece of advice. Run. Just run, and don't look back.
-
going to start my gears tomorrow night so if all goes well then ill be there but if i have a few troubles then ill miss out .

Nope just the winter trails. the rest of the Trick trails are open year round but some of them in the summer you can drive a Honda on them.
I should be joining you as well as long as Bill and Ron don't find anything else wrong.
-
Hahaha, it has been a while. ;)
i was thinking we could airdown and stuff at the Airstrip. i have friends camping there and we could safely leave the tow rigs.
-
Interesting, we have a small group of about 6 going this day too (Jeeps, Land Rovers, Toyota's, Hummer), also meeting in the nearly the same location at the same time.
EDIT: We adjusted out meeting time a bit ahead of yours to avoid any confusion that might arise, although feel free to stop by and say hello if you are a bit early and spot us! :)
-
Those Beyond guys are planning sunday. I believe.. as I'm one of them..
-
Just to confirm I will be there!! 31's are on!!!!! ;D
-
I will be there also. Haven't been out since Dec and have many new mods to tryout.
-
This is of interest to me as well if I can get my weekend errands and commitments out of the way Friday.
-
pook will grace this run with his attendence as well. ;D
-
Chris and I will be camping out in Waiparous. We'll be at the airstrip... say about 10:00 or so. I figure if you leave SMitty's at 9:30, you'll get to the airstrip about 10:15. See you then!
-

I am going to save the comments for one on one.
Heep is done picking it up today. 4:56 and rear easy button ready to go
-
This is great. i had no idea that this many would come on a 'boring' shakedown run. However, my feelings will not be hurt if at any time a group wants to break away and do something tuffer.
HiLoSilver has stated that Smittys is now open. If you plan on eating there just be ready to leave (gas full, etc) at 9:30.
We will stage at the Airstrip. We should be there by 10:30.
See ya in the a.m. :)
-
see every one in the morning!
-
Rats, I wanted to go too... jeep is in the shop :(
Take lots of pics and video!
-
I am out.
On the way beck to Red Deer the front drive shaft CV gave up the ghost.
So I need to change that befor the trail.
-
I should be in for this run too... see you at Smitty's before 9:30
-
Thanks to all. Had a great time. The Liberty faired out well!
-
Thanks for coming out...
