I still wanna see, the top of the world. But I would have to be back in town for the OASIS concert on Saturday night. Been waiting 10 years for this concert to come back to North America.

Not a lot for rain in the forcast.....mainly cooler temperatures.
 Best thing in ur case Z ....let the more experienced guys do the trial and error stuff, and if ur not comfortable.....don't do it !!!
It's a learning curve and there is always the unexpected.........thats why they call them accidents !!!
Rig abilities and limits are to be taken into consideration as well of course !!  ;)

Don't need to be part of the jeep club to come out. Just having a good attitude is required.

Hey, I'm not part of the club, but I'd be interested in a Sunday or Monday run.

Top of the World? How long does it take to do that trail? If Sunday's the day, I'd like to be back in the city in time to see at least most of the Winnipeg/SK football game that starts at 1:00 if that's reasonably possible.

We did TOW today, then down the backside of Priddis Creek...to the Mud Hole which swallowed most of us   ;) then on to the gravel pit and down to the Falls and back.
 I'm out for Sunday......U-joint in the rear shaft chattering on the way home.  ::) BUT.........easy fix, if I'm lucky I'll have my new Curie short arms in for next weekend !!
 2 Hrs washing the jeep.......mostly under carriage !!

So, who's in for tomorrow? Is it just blayne and I? Like I said, I'm only in for a short run tomorrow, and I don't want to kill anyone else's fun by bailing by about 1:00 or so if it's just the two of us.

Is it getting too late to be planning a Sunday run? I'm open for Monday, too, if that works better for anyone.

What CB/GMRS channel do you guys use?

Darn, wanted to do the falls.  Have dinner plans (father's b'day) tomorrow and going to be a  late night 2night.  It's a long shot, but might be there 2morrow (sunday).

If not, perhaps a Monday run, tho don't know wifey's schedule yet.

OK, 9:30, I'll be there.

I PMed you my cell phone number just in case you have to bail or whatever. I'll check this thread when I get up to make sure we're still on. I'll PM you again before 8:00AM if I can't make it.

Wheelin' in the rain! Woo.

Anybody fairly experienced up for Monday?  Still a newb, and riding on stockers.  Is a good climber, bad mud puppy.  Other than that good-to-go.  Went out with RUBI a few weeks ago and had a blast (minus some *cough* alternator issues)  Lemme know by this evening.  Assuming the standard meeting place at the store.  Am thinking 9 AM.

Am going to make a new thread of this as well to hopefully grab some attention.

then on to the gravel pit and down to the Falls and back.

busy place saturday - had to wait 15minutes while a crew tried the hills on way to margaret with trouble , chatted with a group of jeeps ( yellow tj renegade and some lifted black rubi's ) that were on their way to the falls ...

we were in the area fishing, had some luck for a change ...
