Open Run Feb 6

[Tagg]

I'm planning on going.  I'll volunteer to run last in the group.  I've got an empty seat if Frank can't get his rig ready in time.

If one isn't ready, would trailin' with other be an option?

Any idea what time you might be going yet?  I get off work that morning.  Not sure if Jeeping and 2 hours sleep will really go together!

Usually we meet in the parking lot at Smitty's in Cochrane at 8:30AM..leaving at 9AM fully fueled.. 

I would recommend being fully alert when wheeling.  It's when you get tired that people make mistake, get injured or get killed.

better be safe then sorry. my 2 cents

Thank you Jeff for leading the run!!

I might also come out for the festivities... will be a last minute decision though.

In addition to being fully fueled...  I would also recommend that everyone know where they are going and where the trail head is before leaving Smitty's parking lot. If someone doesn't know where the trail head is... now is the time to speak up & buddy up with someone who knows where they are going. That way if ya get separated from the herd (trust me... weird sh*t happens sometimes)... someones watchin out for ya. That and the rest of the group wont be wondering "Hey... where did that guy in the red TJ go?"... right Dom 

Oh ya... sounds obvious... but even for the drive out... keep your CB on and tuned to the CJA default channel at all times. Is it 9 or 10... I forget

Channel 10 unless it has changed.

I don't know what you are talking about Kevin! ...


If you lose the group; continue going strait until you meet another member of the group.

If the group turn onto another trail/road ; someone should wait for you.

Better,... every member of the group should not lose sight of the person behind them.

Channel 10 is usually the one the CJA uses.

Never use channel 9... it's the emergency channel

Finally be able to try out the new CB on the 6th! 

Im amazed at how little talk is on the radio in and around Calgary.   Only place i hear even a smidge of conversation is over near the RoadKing. 

[Rubi03 jef]

since the last few trip have resulted in killing deers or scrapping jeeps

we all leave from smitties at the save time and we all will follow each other out back to smitties

no one gets left behind  no excuses .. we all wait for each other


so we'll set the meeting time at 8:30 so pretty much show up fueled and ready to go .. get your coffee be for 8:30

and s for the route we take it will be desided  on what size jeeps show up and how expierenced people are

channel 10 for those who have CB's'

[jeepers26]

I could possibly be in for this one depending if I get my rig back together... Are you gonna stage at the pit in Waiparious? if so could I meet you there? I live in Sundre, and its alot easier that running down to Cochrane and then half the way back up to Waiparious.

Is this where we say "Who hit a dear and who lost a jeep" ?   

[Sweetberry]

Will it scratch my new baby? I'm new to here too, just signed up. I drive a 2008 Jeep Rubicon. I'd love to come. I'm also new to 4x4ing, I've done about 8 hours 4x4ing, think I can handle it?

Thanks

Alice

[WhiteOut]

Shouldn't scratch it up, the trails that are out there should be easy for even a stock Rubicon.

[Eagle Jeeper]

I might come down from Sundre for this but my jeep is  a trailer queen is there a bit of  a staging area to leave tow rigs.  I might have another buddy coming in the same shoes.
