Sunday January 30th! Weather should be decent, hopefully…
How bout a fun no stress day doing the transalta trail! (I haven’t done it yet this year) Snow should be decent too.

Post up if you’d like to join.
This will be a good trail for everyone to join, no matter the jeep.
Be sure to have tow hooks front and rear, a tug strap, extra clothes, food and water as usual. A jeep in good working order and a good attitude!
More details closer to the day!

I’m out of town until mid March but I think Jen would like to go in the JL. I’ll keep her up to date on the meeting spot, time etc. make sure she gets across the river safely! 😎. I think we have a bundle of firewood if needed as well.

I’m sure she’ll text Janese to see if she wants to co-pilot. I’m sure I’m spelling her name wrong.

Updated info. We can meet at the a&w in Cochrane for 9:30am, leave by 10am or when everyone arrives. Shouldnt be a long day at all. Hopefully some decent snow and ice to play on.

We’ll that was an interesting run.  Maybe someone else can provide the entertainment next time. 😔

I’m just very thankful no one got seriously hurt, from my run away tire.  Matt, I hope your leg feels better soon.  It took beans getting in front of that tire.  I owe you dinner/drinks at the next meeting.

All good Joel. I’ll heal and my Jeep sustained no permanent damage and no one below us was put at risk.
…and ya didn’t have to go hunting for your wheel a ¼ of a mile into the bush!  8)

Good to hear your lady-bits will heal and that tire would have had some serious speed if it went all the way to to bottom of the hill. I have it on dash-cam, now I have to figure oit how to access it🤪

I’d be really interested in seeing that.. and ya pretty sure they became lady-bits at that moment.  ;)
I remember everything up to the kick but the next thing is then being down on the ground.

Jen had a good time.  Glad you’re ok Matt. Sounds like it could have been a lot worse.

Also saw this video last night of a YJ rollover in wiaparous that happened recently. Very lucky he wasn’t hurt.

Ugh, that looked like a rough crash.  The camera man on the low side must have just been behind the tree he hit.
