He's probably talking about the first bridge as you're headed ewst on Meadow Creek. That's the one that was last year's trail project IIRC.

Yeah I think that's the one...point 91 or so on the map.  Like I suggested before, not looking forward to being out till 9pm, try to get back to Cochrane 6-7ish.  Making it any longer then that with kidlets(& a dog) is just silly ;).

If folks wanna have breaky at Smitty's that's cool, not sure if we will be there early enough for breaky.  Depends how 'ready' we are Friday night.

Hey Tink if you could lead that'd be great.  Should be able to count on you to be 'civilized' since you'll have a 'mall crawler' along for the ride :D.

Well, its a road through... you're talking about the same thing... the guy i was with said it was a "new road" dont ask me how new... cause im new enough to the area that everything is still fairly new. 

However... the long and the short of it... people were turning around... it was pretty badly rutted out and the mud was DEEP.  I've got an XJ, 4" lift... 31" mud tires... i drag'd myself through it... but i have a winch as a backup as well. 

Just a heads up is all... stockers might not enjoy pounding through that path... might actually be easier to go in the other way "long way around" to avoid it. 

I think your talking about the road that the cja help clear to re rout around camp Camisle and away from the river. Too bad its in bad shape the gov should be looking after it. It was alot of work to clear that road, it took most of a winter and alot of volenter sweat

Bad shape would be putting it lightly.

Let me know if you have room for one fat little jeep.  I just have to confirm with my calender (wife), but I should be able to make it if you have room.  I got my little issues worked out, and just finished cleaning the jeep from last time.  I am ready to rock and roll.  If somebody doesn't have a CB, I have a set of walkie talkies that I usually bring.  I just usually put one in a jeep without, and one with a CB so at least the jeep can keep in touch with everyone else.  Just a thought.

I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

i just remember to a run in the winter we were ahead a good couple km from the end of the pack and i couldnt' even get radio reception with them........ as Nathan says its a 'slinky' and you get spaced out........ i'd rather just a smaller group (under 10) and good times.


regardless its lookin like i'm in

Looks like im in with one unit, will be my first run, so if it looks like it's getting to large a group we can just bail and go explore somewhere else.
