Hey,
We are heading to Waiparous June 14th for the weekend. Would love to meet
some new people. This is only our 2nd time out there so if anyone has some good ideas
of where to set up camp (south, north, ect) that would be great. Also, the
trails that we were on last time we not that great. I'm not sure we have a good sense of
the area so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Assuming you have a Jeep, it is not really a good place to go.  There are only 25 km or so of trails open to Jeeps.  You are better off heading to an area that is not closed to Jeeps.

You may want to go to mclean. Lol.

I might be in on this. I have to see if I'm working or not though.

Mclean is good for day trips. We do that often enough. I have friends coming from
Edmonton and camping as well. They have quads, we have a Jeep of course!
I got the map from the SRD and picked a spot just west of the #123. There's a
pretty good loop. We have a 3 year old and a dog coming, I'm also 31 weeks pregnant
so maybe 25kms isn't such a bad idea.

Wish I didnt have to work or I would join you. Never been there.
Hope you have fun!

Might be up for a ride this weekend.  I bet it would be good and muddy.  River crossings probably not advised.  I have seen my share of jeeps floating downstream and it is not that pretty.  What were you thinking?  Rain might help keep the Waiparous dust down!!

River is going like crazy, bridges washed out and pretty sloppy for a long haul drive.
Looks like we're heading out to Mclean Thursday night. Staying in campground.
BUT I do have a question. How hard is it to actually get a 29' RV into the Free
Zone ? i would rather NOT be in the campground, but it sounds like we can't
get into the Free Zone with our rig.

Anyone interested in hooking up for a run, please let me know
and we can meet Sat/Sun for a tour Bring the kids!!

I might be up for a ride on Saturday.  Looks like we have plans on Fathers Day, but I could do a run Saturday.  Would that work?

[XXXj]

Ya sounds good. We don't really have a set time to go anywhere. If you wanna take a stroll into the campground, you can't
miss us. Red Dodge, White Jeep, lifted, kids running around, dogs etc. Super pregnant lady lol.
We usually get figured out around 11 or so

I might see if I can make it out as well... any requirements or just a basic run? My Cherokee is still mostly stock

front and rear tow hooks and 30" tires would be helpful since  We do a lot of technical articulation.

[wyattjo]

Oh OK I'm probably out then... I don't have the tow hooks and only 29" tires

I reserved campsite A20-something.... but if anyone wants to hook up thats where we will be!
will be there from thursday-sunday.

[Black Cheep]

OK, I am in.  Is there nobody else interested?  Kind of hard to believe that no body wants to come out and play in the mud.  I would love wyattjo to come along, but when he gets (and everyone does), we need a way to get him out 29 - 30 inch tires, there is only 1/2" difference so that is not the make or break, but he does need tow points.  What time are you thinking of heading out?  Live in Cochrane so it is not that far of a drive.  Don't know McLean all that well, but can get through almost anything there.  Let me know.
