Title: McLean - July 21, 2013 - SUNDAY!
Post by: brianrh on July 18, 2013, 07:57:35 AM
Hoping to get together a 2-4 rig run to check out trail 524.

And if that proves fruitless... try something else maybe... like entry from the North to try and get on the same trail.

See map... Red is goal... Orange lines are possible in/out routes.

Okay - so who's coming???

brianrh - Y
elver - ?
bullit85 - Y?
renegade350 - Y?

Cell - 403.869.8243

92 is the marker for the trail head of Top of The World, memory serves me correctly making a right *instead of a left and heading SW will promptly lead you to a very interesting/ semi abusive mud/log section that will take some decent time winching on 35's locked front and rear (ask me how I know ;). At least that was what it was like last year...Bring some extension straps or a boat anchor their is not much to winch off of depending on your line.

Other than that it is all very doable.

Ya... sound about right, I've gone in that way before.  Want to go in from the 524 side and most likely exit on 252 or 90 heading North West back toward the first unload zone.  I know there's a swamp somewhere between the two that is pretty much impassable. :-)

In fact, the ol' lady is demanding it of me... so...

This looks like it'd be a SUNDAY run...

Trying to get buddy from work to come copilot.  Sunday works for him to if his ol lady lets him go.  ;-)

Prefer to keep the group at 6 or less as more tends to slow things down a bunch.

Good run.

Helped dofus get his truck off the side of a hill (on two stumps and a log...)

Then went for a blast parallel to Mclean Creek road North to South.

Not many photos... lots of rolling!
