I'm good for the long weekend.

Is anyone planning on camping? I heard they’ll be giving out free chimichangas @zuknewbie

 

i was holding out to see what weekend this fell on and like a lot of others i am pretty sure I can't do family day.

i am 50/50 on another weekend since i did the rear bumper mod to my truck down in AZ over Xmas break (ripped off drivers side plastic on a rock - zip tied it back on and also backed into a bigger rock in a tight canyon and bent my hitch and bumper down) so i am putting a new bumper on and also redoing my ghetto rear seat delete so my truck might not be available but i will watch for dates.

 

I do like me a chimichanga @Trdtacosauce but I don’t believe my truck is up to snuff for this trip. Planning on having a new rig for spring so don’t want to spend the money on this one right now. I am thinking of going camping locally this weekend though.

 

What is it?

 

Honestly not 100% sure yet, not sure how far trail rig compared to dd I want to go.

 

You are just being racist

 

I’m in for the family day weekend! Also planning on camping

All my things have come to be, have a date set on what I was worried about.

Now I can join this event again!




I hope the cold we have now, ends by the time this rolls around.

We have been having -35C wind chills on the regular.

 

We have got so much snow recently, omg.



Tomorrow @TjAeCeOpMAmiah and me are going to rip trail #93 in the opposite direction we ran it last time, could be way harder this way. From East(enter at #49) to West (exit at #36 to olrig RD).

 

Ahem....


















Seems like more snow already compared to last year. We are lined up to get another 10cm this week possibly.

Plenty to get stuck in when you guys get here.

As you can see I could not get up that small hill, on a short run that I have done a dozen times by myself.

We will be having a ton of fun boys!

 

Hey guys,

I’m considering buying a full facecord of firewood (buddy from Keswick 80$)
If we can split it between 2-3 trucks would be ideal instead of buying a few bags.

Leaving on Friday morning, who’s down?

 

I'd love to help if I can but I can't leave Friday morning

 

I have free firewood here in North Bay. It is seasoned and ready to burn.

You can have as much as you want! Just let me know.

 

Thanks dude, will take you up on that.

@Saturnine change of plans lol, let’s coordinate with Wes to get some up there!
