Post by: w squared on March 29, 2012, 02:25:13 PM: I believe that McLean Creek is still closed for the winter. Waiparous would be the open area of choice right now.

Post by: Kanueh on March 29, 2012, 02:44:52 PM: Yep, McLean is closed from December 1st to April 31st.

Post by: Smudgeone on March 29, 2012, 04:12:24 PM: I wish I could tag along! I just picked up my jeep this week and haven't gotten a CB, recovery strap or any emergency gear. Hoping to get a used radio soon, the rest will come later.

You got a rubicon dont ya? and as long as u got tow points and a spare tire and bring some common sense stuff like food and water i have no problems with you comin i am not planning on a real nasty day anyways. I have enough recovery gear for the both of us lol.

And i was thinking about meeting in the smittys parking lot at 930 and then we can head out from therre.

Post by: Kanueh on March 29, 2012, 07:32:40 PM: I went to McLean last weekend so I spent the hour for you!

I have never been out to Waiparous so where is Smittys and can you give me directions or an address? I have a Rubicon and CB but the winch and recovery gear are next months purchases.
