VMUTS Run Sept 23-25, 2022

Oh come on, don't go scaring all the kids with fantasy stories of mysterious broken driveshafts. Never happened.

 

Be sure to shine the flashlight up to your face from your chin whilst you tell that story at the campfire...

Gaba gaba goo gaba goo...gaba goo

 

So it's looking like I'll be up there in the evening on Friday. Gotta get my crew all sorted out for the weekend and wait for the wife to drive up from the city. I'll bring smokies for the fire Friday, and do breakfast and dinner Saturday but I'll have to head out Saturday night or Early Sunday AM to make it back to North Bay for work, so bring something for lunch Saturday and breakfast Sunday.

I took a drive out to the trails last Saturday and stayed at the Kearney Lake site. I was the only person there who stayed overnight. Fucking fantastic spot. Drove down to the mine Sunday morning. Great little solo trip, can't wait to check out the rest of the trails with you guys. New Shocks, springs and UCAs are a dream. (5100s & AAL in the rear and full 5112 Kit in the front with the Camburg UCA's I bought off of Eugene.)

Got a few nice photos, a bit of a teaser for next weekend!

 

Boys....please forgive me.

My life has changed a lot in the last 6 months.




We are all moved into the new house, have internet and all the things now.


My house is on the way to VMUTS! Stop in on your way by! I am 350 Meters off the highway!



I may stop in and crash one day of the run, but just for a few hours. I am pretty busy getting the all the things in place for winter this year in the new house. Heating with a wood stove is going to be a brand new thing for me to get used to.

 

@WorstCaseOntario
I thought I saw your rig in town a few times.

Very nice setup you have, great looking truck.

 

@llamasmurf Thanks! She's my pride and joy. Always a work in progress but I've got her pretty much dialed for now other than rock sliders and a rear bumper. I'm in town for the next 4 1/2 weeks and will be down to get out wheeling on pretty much any of my spare time, so let me know if you want to get out!

 

I should be heading up after work. Planning to be on the road by 4pm. Anyone else leaving later?

 

I'll be leaving Thursday sometime hopefully I'll be up there before dark

 

I might also leave later, I will keep you posted

 

Can't make it for this trip anymore.
Wish you all a great time up there!

 

We all just bringing a bag or two each for the fires?

 

^I plan to pick up a bag on my way tomorrow morning: https://canalroadfirewood.com https://goo.gl/maps/cpdQNX4azUYZj19A6

 

I have some hardwood and 4x4s from work. Also have a chainsaw if we need one.

 

So to confirm, we are pitching in for burgers, sausages and dogs for dinners? I'm assuming everyone does their own breakfast and lunch? Trying to establish meals for the weekend.

 

Truck started making a squealing noise on the way to work this morning, investigated after work and found the passenger front wheel bearing is shot. So i guess i’m out for this trip, FML.

 

For my Jeep, have ordered two as I might as well change both if I’m doing it. I figure if I’m going through all the hassle of going this far I should put in the upgraded ball joints that have been sitting on my work bench to.

 

See everyone there tomorrow! I'll be on GMRS channel 5.

 

If possible Can someone please bring me a copy of the v muts trailmap printed please. I forgot my laminated copy at home.
Thanks.
Friday I'll be getting lost in the trails. (Not rally) and will meet up at the camping spot around 6pm I guess.
Thank you.

 

Found some mud last night...

 

Sorry guys, for the first time i will have to bail on this one,

Got to stay with the Família.

See you at vmuts when the snow comes!
