Title: CJA Open Run - Feb 19,2012
Post by: apeman on February 14, 2012, 01:58:17 PM
Time for another Open run in waiparous, I believe the winter loop will be the trail of choice,so come prepared.

Meeting at 830am at Smitty's in Cochrane,leaving for the trail at 9am sharp.
Be fueled and ready to go by then please.


Requirements:
Minimum 31" tire
Good MT, AT, or winter tires, and be prepared to air down to 15 psi please.
Full sized spare tire.
Good front and rear tow points.
Lots of warm clothing, and a change of footwear for everyone in the vehicle
Lots of food and water for everyone in the vehicle
Patience and a good attitude - we will be moving at a speed that is comfortable for the slowest member of the group
Jeeps only

Good Ideas:
Recovery Strap
Shovel
CB Radio
 
Crunch will be leading this run, and i may be able to assist if repairs are completed by sat night. We do need mid and tail gunners, so post up and we can work out who is doing what.
Hope we can see a good turnout and everyone has a good time.

Cheers

Crunch - a big thanks for leading!  And thanks to all the members that are helping out.

This is an official CJA run so this is for Jeeps only and counts for those who are looking for membership.  Have fun!

I could likely make this, and have a good working CB radio as well

Post by: apeman on February 16, 2012, 02:56:37 PM
CB radios are not a requirement, so dont let it hold you back from coming out. Only lead,mid and tail gunners need radios, to keep in contact and update eachother.

I was wondering wtf happened, I thought at first the cop was coming for me and my tinted out windows then he blew past me and stopped you guys. I was following you guys at the same speed I was surprised he didn't get me instead. Anyways it was a blast today and I look forward to doing another run with everyone again in the future.  ;)

Actually... he DID get YOU on the laser... but he told us that because we were in front, that he decided to give us the ticket.  You owe me $62. :P
