hey anyone want to go out April 18 i think that's next sunday i have front and back tow points, winch, and a CB radio haven't got to go out yet this year. Work schedule is a fight right now. I'm up for anything let me know.
-
where were you planning on going??
-
I'm in the same boat. I can't go out on the 17th, but I'm free on the 18th. I wouldn't mind getting a nice easy shakedown run in on my new tires.
Waiparous?
-
i am soo bored of waiparous. or at least of going to the falls and back ::) but i would probably be up for a run to get out of the city.
-
I'm with you on that - both the bored part and the wanting to get out of the city.
It's been quite a while since I've been to the falls though. Maybe it's gotten more exciting.... :)
What do you guys say....
-Smitty's at 9:00 with a full tank of fuel
-Full sized spare
-Front and rear tow points
-Mechanically sound vehicles
-Change of warm, dry clothing for each person
-Extra food and water for everyone in the vehicle

we could probably make it more exciting if we went blind folded. on the other had the trail to the lake has been very icy so we should be able to go there and have a little fun, would like to fish it but i doubt that the ice is off yet.
-
Hmmmm.....icy. My chains don't fit on the new tires, so that may be interesting. :D
-
oh and what are the effects of the recent storm out there? that could help to make it interesting too.
-

Just take a running start ;D
-
I look forward to hearing a trail report, I will be heading out there for a ATV and dirt bike ride on Tuesday the 20th. ;D
-
Assuming I get everything accomplished on sat. that I need to do, I'm in.
-
Change of plans - I'm out. I have to work Sunday. :(
-
hey i might be in to try out the new rig. what smittys do you guys meet at?
-

The only one in Cochrane. ;D
-
pretty sure I'm in... if you guys are going to Waiparious could I meet you at the gravel pit or airstrip?
-
sick sounds good I'm happy people want to go out ha yeah I'm up for anywhere who wants to lead Ive never been to waiprouse :P
-
If I can convince Grandma to watch the kids then I will probably be in. I will be in Calgary for the weekend from Brooks and I am dying to see a few trees or bumps in the geography. Plus I have a new long arm kit that needs some breaking in.
2003 Rubicon
4" Long Arm
35" KM2s
AEV Highline
Front and rear custom bumpers
CB radio.
-
I have the whole Ghost FLUZ in mapped in my GPS... I could lead if need be.
-
If pook is still going, I would be tempted to let him lead. There are some spots that may be interesting if the river is running high right now. Having someone that's driven the full trail out and back in the lead might be a good idea.
Have a safe run and a great day out there. I wish that I could come along.
-
Damn my driveshaft... I am beginning to have a healthy disregard for Jeeps....
-
You're welcome to ride shotgun with me, Trev. I'm not going this weekend, but I'm itching to try out my 35's. I'll be angling for my next chance.
It won't be next weekend either. That's reserved for 2010's first top-down road trip to Montana. Maybe the Saturday after that?
-
I have been up to the falls and Margret lake numerous times..I know the area well...
-

-

lol, at least you know where your priorities lay.
-
k well I guess I will drive down to Cochrane first.. out of my way but I guess its better to get the group together there....
9:00 am!
-
I'm in for sure.
-
ill be there
-
I'm in for sure as well.
-
see you there
-
had a good run today in from the gravel pit up to the falls, over to Margret Lake which is still covered with ice.. and then back down the Lost Knife trail.. All the trails were pretty dry with the usual washouts and mudholes. It was a little wetter up towards the falls with very little snow left and the river is the lowest I have ever seen it....thanks to everyone who came along, it was a great day all around!
-
yeah it was a great run perfect for the first time out this year and thanks again brad for leading it wicked day
-
Ya thanks alot. Had a great time and nice to meet you all.
