Title: Boxing Day Run!
Post by: The Machinist on December 08, 2013, 03:58:38 PM: Let's go out to waiparous for the day, I can't think of a better way to avoid family at Christmas time! Open to anyone with a semi-reliable jeep, good tires, recovery gear and a good attitude. Pack a lunch and warm clothes, meet for breaky at the smitty's in Cochrane at 8am. If it's open? I'll look in to it.
Who's in?

Don't let that stop you, I have't had a rear bumper since I bought the Jeep a few years ago.

I tried calling a half dozen times today and nobody answered the phone but they have always been open Boxing Day in years past.

8:00 for breakfast and leave at 9:00?

Post by: muffintop on December 24, 2013, 09:42:30 AM: Vince... I'm trailering my rig... so I'm gonna skip breakfast and head out from Cochrane at 8:30 to get a head start. Is there a place where I should sit and wait in Waiparous in the event that you guys don't catch up?

How about that first staging area where the quads usually stage?

Post by: muffintop on December 26, 2013, 06:27:43 AM: Thanx Vince.

I'm not super familiar with Waiporous so if we don't end up at the same place at the same time... don't wait more than 15 or 20min before continuing on.

Post by: Jrama on December 27, 2013, 08:06:36 AM: I wouldn't know showed up at Smitty's at 9:10 and no one was there, outrageous wait to get gas and there was no reasonable hope of catching up!
