VMUTS Run Sept 23-25, 2022

Lot of traffic on hwy 11 due to construction.

 

Running late but I'm still on my way with the food! Leaving North Bay Soon.

 

No worries we're at the kerney lake campsite

 

Subbed for this trip report…..

 

Me too

 

Uneventful and boaringggggg.

 

I wouldn’t want to hear about what is eventful then. Lol

 

Super rollllling I hear

 

I think worst case Ontario has a video it's like slow motion

 

He went half as far as @honkonbobo

 

Jesus knew he was going to help the injured guy later so he was spared the roll over.

 

Instead of coming to this I rode the cord and sent a rock thru the rad of my bike. Sick. Looking forwards to pics.

 

Some of the carnage

 

Friday morning 4am ran some trails to see what 24hours or 12 hours of v muts would be like
Friday afternoon meet up with everyone at the Kerney lake camp site
Saturday started out normal. Wes and Jeremiah meet us at the site
Jeremiah was our guide for the day
there was a decent rock climb on one of the trails but someone had tried to go around and so did I. the rocks had moss on them and the truck slowly rolled to the drivers side.
crawled out the window, Jeremiah winched me back over. @Trident167 put a winch line on the front bumber to stabalize the truck and I just drove forward back down the hill. the gas tank door was the causality and my coffee mug
continued on the trail. and took picks beside a orange helicopter. then continued on the trail then opp officer asking for assistance to transport and injured atv person. everyone in the group was ready to give a hand and so was I so i unloaded my stuff on the side of the trail and they put him in the back with 2 medics and we went for a slow and painful drive back
low range 1st gear and a very loud right front bearing that would not strop. apparently there was a trail of atv's behind us and our group was nice enough to get all my stuff and they followed also. they we watched them load him up and take off.

what a day...

wow! Rolled, recovered and then ambulance driver. Epic!

 

I'm sure someone has some video's. I just feel for the atv driver.... we have fun out there but in blink of an eye everything can go south...

 

Thank you everyone for making this a great first time run! Here’s another picture of driving through the water to get the injured guy back to the helicopter

 

Seriously, so much truth to that. I’ve had to be the ambulance once for a severely broken collarbone. That’s when I found out my truck would do about 220 with the limiter deleted (thanks valleyrunner). On HWY 400 north (the Mexico one). Thank god it was repaved.

 

Heck of a first run!

great job everyone!

 

It was such a great weekend! You both did a fantastic job and as the day progressed you could see the comfort level set in. What an epic weekend for a first time. How about those onions!
