Hi, I'm pretty new with all of this, never even been to wiaprous but I'd like to help out if you need another guy.  I got a four wheel drive half ton, and a chain saw, and if need I could bring my quad as well.  Just give me a little info and I'll be there.  Thanks

Sure bring your quad. About half the group out there will be from the Calgary Quad Squad. Thanks to everyone hard work the trail is starting to get long enough to be a long walk with a chain saw.

Link to the Alberta projects web site below

http://www.abprojects.org/

The best way to find it is to meet us at Smitty’s in Cochrane. See Dom's post at the top. If you don’t make it then:

North on the Hwy 40 trunk road past the Summer Village of Waiparous, Into the Forestry Reserve; past the camp grounds near the Ghost River Waiparous Valley Road goes off to the west and follows the River; take the right fork when the road splits. Camp Mocking Bird is located on the first part of the road just after you turn off of HWY 40. So you know you are on the right road.

Following is a link to SRD web site. It has a link to a map showing the part of the road/trail that was closed and that we are working on bypassing.

if I miss the people leaving smittys, how do I get to camp chamisol????

my CB would be in CH 4

cheers

If you miss us at Smitty's most of the time the CJA uses CH10. Try to find us on that chanel. 

Thanks,
Blair

Thanks for your interest in the project. You should have no problem finding us at Smitty's, just just ask of the table full of Jeep Club members they usualy know who we are.

Thank,

I am going to come and help as well.  My quad is down right now but I can bring the ZJ.  I am sure that is will make it down the trail if quads can ;)  I will bring my saw with me.  Is there any other gear that will be needed?

I'm sure someone else is better qualified to answer that.

Al - If you need a lift call me tonight. We got the diff cover banged out and back on the jeep last night so I can take her now. If I don't hear from you though, I'll ride shot gun w/the Dominator  8)

Hay Guys.
I would love to come out but I have to work this weekend. I went out with Ian and Kevin and I had a blast. I can’t wait until the next meeting I will be making it to it, maybe the only one this year. (I am a shift worker) I want to meet everyone.
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?
The obstacle is the path.

Hey!
I'm back!
It was a fun day, My buddies and I help until around 1:00pm then head out for some wheeling.
I met good people, hard working people!
The trail looked like an never ending project!

I took some pics of us wheeling, (I should have taken pics of us working :D)

(pics deleted...PM sent...Dom)

cheers
