we went out a few weeks ago and used our lockers, front and rear many many times. the hills are slippery. a rig had the back window busted out from sliding backwards on the first hill before the trail even started! It's not our run, not our call !

unfortunately the lack of lockers had nothing to do with the yj sliding down the hill which is why I'm sad that the driver went home thinking he needs lockers to wheel winter trails.

Title: Waiparous Run-Sunday-Feb. 17
Post by: MOABICON on February 14, 2013, 02:35:59 PM
Looks like we have some interest for Sunday, Feb. 17th. That would
be the day I can make. However.......I do not know the area at all. Is
there anyone who said they might like to go can lead everyone up to
the Falls or Margarett Lake?? If someone would step up that would
be great. How does 9 at Smitty's in Cochrane and leave by 9:30a.m.
Would that work for most people?   Probably want to be done by dark.

We can sort out trails and trail leader at smittys. We also have the winter trails which are pretty fun. Leave smittys 930am Sunday sounds like a good plan.
Basic requirements as usual are front and rear tow points, good tires and good attitude...;)

Count us in, 2 rigs +. There's a group camping there Saturday night that would like to meet at the gravel pit around 10am on Sunday. If we could make the pit our starting point to air down and stuff it would be appreciated. Tyler and I have a trail map so we will bring that.
