i'm just got back home now 1:20 am ...    lots of rain made everything very slick.   I'm not sure anything out there is stocker friendly right now.  It's very late notice but i have to cancel the 101 for tomorow (sunday)   we'll have it an other sunday when it drys up.     I'll be at the store in the mornig to meet up with anyone who doesn't see this.

Was a fun day out ...   just not stocker friendly.

Sorry about this guys.

Just wanted to say "thanks" to all the CJA members for all their efforts putting this on, and for all their hard work getting everyone through all the mud.
Buddy and I left Lethbridge @ 5;30 Am, and got back home last night around 2;30 AM - 21 hours in the Jeep.
Would I do it again?... In a heartbeat.
Had a blast and learned lots too, it's just too bad mother nature had other plans for the weekend.
Can't wait to come out with you all again... this rain has gotta quit sometime?

It was a hoot! Coming from a stocker vehicle, I only tore off my front fender flare and the fender well. It was a long day, with only planning for a 5pm exit I ran out of smokes, I think that was the worst part of the day for me. Besides that, having spotters really helps, and if it wasn't for all the mud out there I think it would have been great!

Was good to get some experience towing people around, that helped, and I was glad I had a CB radio so I could let the other guys know what was going on.

Well I had a chance to survey the damage and it pretty extensive. i busted my rad in the last bog when I went nose in. The tree took out my fender, headlight and bumper and the first big bog took out my rear bumper.

I must say that I was extremely impressed with the capabilities of the crew and a special thanks to Eric, Scott, Brian, Darren and Steve for their leadership on this extremely difficult run. This just goes to show that the weather can play a huge part in how a leisurely run can turn quickly.  I hope everyone made it home in one piece and tried their best to enjoy the long day.

See you guys at the Peters soon!

That was a great day! had a bunch of fun brining my XJ out and pushing it that hard! I am glad at the help that was available and I will be trying to make it out for another run for sure!

Thanks to everyone that put this event together. We not definitely got our  101's and perhaps 102's 103's so on and so forth yesterday. It was challenging, a test of endurance, and FUN day. Only lost an airdam and one of my Hids went out, I am surprised of the JK's capabilities. Thanks a lot to Chupacabra for CB-ing for us and giving my jeep some AIR at the end of the day. Stay tuned for videos of this event within the week. Cheers !

Even though today was cancelled a few of us ventured out and had a great time. I left early as my front driveshaft came apart and mashed the splines making it unable to put back together! Thanks to everyone and thanks to Aaron for lending me some tools to get the driveshaft off! Hope you all enjoyed the rest of your day!!

I'm Glad the Saturday group had a good (albeit very long day) Was great seeing the facial expressions as people where wheeling by me.

even though I didn't have my jeep out and I spent most of the day standing in mud holes, I had an awesome day.
