Because there will be Jeeps in the parking lot. We will be meeting for breakfast at 8 am

TJ54 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 03, 2005, 08:05:01 PM »

It is all coming together
The trails we are mapping are nuisance creek, hunter valley trail, and Harold creek. If you know these trails fairly well, please make yourself known to Chris, Bob Or myself (Ian) either tonight or in person tomorrow. We need help to determine which trails are best for which jeeps, I believe Harold creek will not be too hard for the more stock jeeps, but I do not know about the other two.

We had three teams mapping.
Do to getting rather stuck, our team just finished the first section, it appears that the second and third teams combined and mapped harold creek when they finished up there first sections
I am guessing they managed to get all of the trails we needed mapped. I am not sure about Sunday. It was starting to get a little muddy on saturday by the end of the day and is raining again in Cochrane.
The rest of the group was still on the trail when our group left Waiparous, we talked to them on the CB, it sounded like they were very close to being out..

I would imagine they will trickle back into the city at about 11, then there will be a deciscion made about tomorrow.

Hey Apex did Jessica get any pics of the rut hill. I forgot to take some as I was more worried about keeping at least 3 tires on the ground. If she did, please send them to TJ54

I just got home, Nils and I were the last ones to air up and start back.
We got off the trail about quarter to 10.

Now I have some funny noises from my front end, and I need to pull my fan belt and check the pullies. Plus pull all 4 tires off the bead and get em cleaned. And check out my front suspension, she took a few knocks today.

It was an awesome run!

Thanks to all who came out.
Cheers
Chris

Hey Chris, did your tires lose thier seats? hope you didn't run into too much trouble. But by the sounds of it... you might have had a harder time than I did.

Hi guys, thanks for all the help on Sat. We accomplished a lot, and will likely do more.

We went through these motions to help provide a starting point for trail maintenance. As I have mentioned in other posts, we are in a delicate position in regards to keeping our trail systems open. These pictures from Saturday as you can appreciate, are areas that require maintenance and are typically the worst part of the trail. We at CJA do not condone irrisponsible trail usage, and therefore will not condone "Mud and Ruts" pictures on our forums, as it implies that is what we are about.

So be forewarned, if posted, they will disappear.

Given all of our desires for future off-roading, I'm sure you will understand the significance of our position.

And thanks again to those who have helped out and who have promised to help down the road. We will all move towards an environment in which we can depend on on the future of our trails.

Bob, VP CJA

Very well put Bob. Glad to see that some people can see the vision of what we need to work towards. I just wish others would follow, and hopefully they do. We do not have any more time to waste. Remember people, we are fighting for our future as responsible back country users.

Glad to hear you guys had a good day.

My sidewalls got knocked around some, I had a tire hissing at me from the bead. Some additional air, and all was well, hats off to Nils for his compressor! Running at 10psi with the pretty stock Rubicon rims, leads to potential chipping (which hasnt happened yet) and pushed beads.

Otherwise, on-board air has jumped up a few positions on my wish-list.
I like to run at lower pressures, because the traction is greatly increased. But I hate to slip a bead, or bash the rim.
Beads I can live with, if I have on-board air. Chipped rims I can live with a little less, as that would impede the rim serving its purpose.
And quite frankly, beadlocks are handy and cool, but to only have one side of the rim proctected seems kinda half-butted to me.
And I don't have a printing press for money, so two piece rims are but a lottery win away.

Ah well, j.e.e.p.
If it aint a hobby, it's gotta be a mental illness.

Best Bob (Featherfoot) quote ever!

Quote from: "featherfoot"

I'm also interested to hear what took Scott 4.5 hours to go down one hill!
They must have dismantled the Jeeps and carried them down.

Used without permission, from an email.

That quote had me laughing for quite some time!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Cheers
Chris
