I'm trying to get a link to the Ghost area map from SRD, they have done fantastic job of messing up their site.   If anyone has one,  please post it here.   It will be much easier to determine where the vehicle is using numbered markers rather than hearsay...

Ok far as i know the jeep is drivable it start up fine when i tried to pull him out with straps.

 the front tires are deeply in mud and he has the original all terran on ...  not helping the back of the jeep is lift up nothing i could of done without a winch.

with the map i see there i think he is stuck on meadow creek trail about 10- 15 mins not that far that all.

is he in an area that is fenced off?  relatively flat area with tonnes of mud.  with signs saying 'do not enter'?



you weren't yanking hard enough.  if theres nothing to anchor a jeep to the winch is completely useless.

Myself and "Kanuek" are headed out there pretty quick, going to meet in Cochrane in... about 40 minutes or so. If anyone else is looking for an adventure we'll be on CB channel 10.

we were thinking attached the jeep with a winch on a tree with straps there is big trees close to hold on there and than use the winch he got a 10 000 pounds straps should be enough to hold ?

you will have to anchor the jeep to a tree.  otherwise you'll just pull the jeep in.

10k straps are a bad idea. unless its a quad.  20k - 30k at least. 

take pics when you get back and post a link. i think a bunch of us are curious to see where this thing is!

I got a call from Gord... they're still stuck.  They sent video (but it's in 3gp format so I can't post here...).  They're gonna call me if the two guys that went out can't get him out, or get sucked in themselves.  I'm leaving Calgary at 2:00 sharp if anyone wants to join me.

We're out here and have limited reception right now. He isn't on trail 95 unless he somehow crossed the river with a stock jeep but I'm not going across it's just too high. We're going to try and call him again. Jeep girl if you are still talking to him have him call my cell I'll pm it to you.

So we called Gord and there is no answer. We're on trail 51 right now and sitting here since we have cell service.

Tried going west of hwy 40 along meadow creek trail - from marker 95 got about 300m to waiprous creek (torrent of a river) and decided BAD idea to cross. Backtracked to marker 51 and are headed along there.
