CJA THANKS GIVING RUN (OCTOBER 8TH 2005)
« on: October 05, 2005, 09:54:42 AM »
CJA THANKS GIVING RUN (Indian Graves Trail)

Date:  October 8th

Meeting place:  Okotoks Smitys

Meeting Time:  7:00am

Departure Time:  8:00am

All Jeeps need FRONT and Rear tow points, a working CB radio.  The trail is not for beginners, winch and lockers are highly recommended

To all that want to join us on this run, be prepared for a long day.  The full loop takes about 10 - 12 hours.  Bring extra fuel and extra food.[/size]

Hope to see you all there. :D

Anyone want a passenger for this run? My rig won't be trailworthy by the weekend. I buy breakfast and gas!

i have ridden that trail twice since all the floods and big rains.
i think you will be on that trail longer than 12 hours IF :)  you have anyone that is not locked front and rear and winchless.
The floods have made some sections extremely difficult with a high white knuckle factor. The skeg field is mostly dry so that should be ok but there are some brutal uphills. Also, the 'posing' section that has the erosion where you are forced to deke between the trees to get around it will see everyone on a winch as the erosion is big and steep.
After you cross the river at the 4 corners, you will soon be in for one incredibly tough climb. Very eroded and off camber. After that it is smooth sailing from the bent tree and beyond.
Maybe i have been on a bike too much but i think that any jeep not locked and winched is not going down that trail. There is one mud section that is tough now as well.
Having said all this i think it is now an even better trail :D .

I won't make it because my stupid Comanche is broken again, but is Nills talking about Indian Graves (Okotoks Smittys) and is Tom talking about Waiparous (four corners?)  I think this should be clarified for all the people who don't have ESP and are reading this.
