I could be down for a run, haven't been out for awhile ::)  I hate deep mud, but I know alot of the other trails and could provide input for those not doing Fisher East.

fun day today to all that came.   hope you guys enjoyed 101 backwards. i turned back to the store as steering didn't feel great.  got back home and it feels good though. front end needs some work after taking a good look.  need a ujoint in the driveshaft and the unitbearings are bad (drivers damn near gone).  overall fun times....  sorry to all for being 'That Guy' (kevin, hahaha)

i also want to send a BIG (like me) thankyou out to Brad (yellow rubi) Kevin, (specialK) Tom (Asia) Slim, Dwight and everyone else that helped to get my jeep back up on 4 wheels again, and out of a bad situation.  it truly is appreciated. beers on me at the next meeting guys ;)

ps, if anyone has pics of me tire up, that'd be sweet. PM me and i can get you an email addy or whatnot for pics

It was good enough that I had to change my flip flops for real shoes to go and see. :)

It was a good day  ;D  Glad to hear you got out Johnny.  That was some tuggin we had to do to get ya out.  Your rig showed my Costco Champion who was boss.  I knew I should have scooped Elsifers winch when I had a chance  >:(    Time to priorize my next upgrades.

Thanks to Tom for leading us today. It was a good run.

Our day didn't end at the store though.  Just after Brad and I had finished airing up, buddy comes over and tells us he's got 2 people with the jeep stranded out there and if we can run back to pick them up.  So Brad and I take him back to the jeep, but no people.  Rig doesn't start and it's getting late so we boot back to the store where we find the other 2.   Good news is that everyone got out safe.  Rig is still back there, off the trail.  We took them into Calgary.

After hearing and seeing what happened, I just want reiterate how important it is not to leave anyone with rig problems by themselves to get back to safety, even if the road is 'just over there'.   I'm really proud to part of a group who would never do that to anyone.  And we have said this before, NEVER wheel alone.  And try to be prepared for what ever you
can think of.  BobtheKnob, good luck getting your jeep out tomorrow.  Let me know how it goes.  

Brad,  thanks for helping us out ;D

Had fun out there, definitely lots of excitement.  Allthough this flat tire business is getting old fast!  I think it's time to look for something with a thicker side wall.

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 :(
