2010 Thanksgiving Day run
« on: September 30, 2010, 11:36:53 AM »
I get to have the pleasure of  being the big turkey for this Thanksgiving day open trail run at McLean creek!   8)

This will be a Sunday run!!!

Nonmembers, This will count as an officially lead trail run, a requirement for member ship in the CJA.

I do not as of yet have any trails in mind, but will work on it after i get an idea of who will be attending. we are just going to be exploring. ;D

The minimum requirements for this run will be as follows:
 - 31"  or bigger MT or AT tread, if in doubt PM me   ( MUST BE IN GOOD SHAPE if unsure take pics and send to me).
 - Proper tow points front and rear, stock tow points, aftermarket or aftermarket bumpers with recovery points.
 - Full size spare also in good shape.
 - Waivers will have to be signed by any non members  present.
 - Valid drivers license and insurance for anyone who plans to drive.
 - Enough food and water for every person in your vehicle for one day.
 - Full tank of gas, filling up in Bragg Creek is a good idea.
 - Mechanically sound jeep, please make sure your jeep is trail ready.  

Highly recommended stuff:
 - CB radio.
 - Recovery gear.
 - Warm clothes and a change of clothes.
 - Full jerry can of gas.
 - sway bar disco's. (unless you have no swaybar)
 - Tool kit, you never know what might break on the trail. (XJs break lots)
 - Piece of pumpkin pie for the trail leader & his minions.  ::)

I also need members to volunteer for tail gunner and middle, and also perhaps to lead a second group if the initial group grows too big.

Attending:
Pookapotamus (Dana) Trail leader
JohnnyC (Johnny) General Trouble Maker/Name Caller
Bone206 (?)
Apeman (?)
W Squared (Todd)
Jeepgrl (?)
Saraha4X4 (darryl) flip flop testing technitian
Mike S (mike)
Buki (?)
Black Aura (kevin)
MR. Tim?
Jrama?
Pirateboy? (Vantagetes)
will?

Well....I get back from Moab on the 9th, so I just may be able to make it out. Provided that I am not sunburned within an inch of my life and that I've managed to repair any Moab breakage, I'll be there.  :)
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 :(

Nothing wrong with putting it on it's lid... it means that you took the line that others were afraid to... obviously for good reason. Besides... it adds character.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.
Here's your cup of STFU... ENJOY!
