    Any last minute Ottawa area guys looking to join:

    8am meet at the McDonald's in front of the Cabela's
    -
    9am meet at The Bogie General Store (4709 Calabogie Rd, Calabogie)
    -
    10am meet up with GTA gang at their campsite (somewhere near Dodge lake)


    I've recruited 2 guys off another local 4x4 forum to help guide us. They say Quinn will be the best bet for tomorrow.

    Sounds awesome. Have you worked up there before? I'm planning an ice road trip this winter to go work in very northern Ontario. Will likely pursue NWT or Yukon in a couple years.

    So these are the coordinates for the camp site. If you are arriving late it is highly suggested you begin at the vencchar start here 45.19089, -76.90275

    then head to the campsite.

    Drove up to your spot from last night, looks clean :)

    so i continued to the Sullivan lk trail that is very close to the camp location and see that nobody has been through recently other than one dirt bike a and one atv. The logging has crosses the trail but not ruined it thankfully. Hope you’re all doing well. I am camped at Sullivan lk, my truck is a couple km away where it will remain fully intact and straight! My relocation to thw NWT is confirmed.

    What an amazing and fun day out with everyone on Saturday. It was awesome putting faces to the names and sharing so many laughs and good times with everyone.
    Everyone in the group was so welcoming! This was my first event with TEC and I couldn’t be happier to have joined such a great group of people!
    As a complete n00b who left his stock truck parked, seeing the creativity of the builds and how you guys push them was awesome! And being able to ride with the absolute legend @Norilsk was both hilarious and educational LMAO… “Face down ass up, that’s the way Eugene likes to off-road” is what Keith said I believe LOL

    A sincere thank you to all of you guys! @tacoma16 @Shveet (who ran around with a camera in one hand and recovery gear in the other a lot LOL) @Pat613 @Tridet167 @honkonbobo @CaygeonRunner @tgelata and the Gladiator Cigar Hero - hopefully that was everyone who listed themselves.

    Can’t wait to start going to more TEC outings.

    Can’t wait for @Shveet’s photo dump! I took more vids than pics. Enjoy your Sunday out there.

    I wish! I have a stock Tacoma OR so I parked it for the day as the trails were above my limit level lol. I was almost talked into taking it, but I would have been done at the first rock garden LOL
    That’s a local Calabogie guy, Tim.

    Great weekend as usual. The trail Saturday was an absolute gem. Pushing the rigs hard and attempting new challenges is always welcome. Missed @Windigo and @Tech HoFFinaTor on this one. You guys would have loved it.
    Uploading videos now and I'll post them soon.

    Just saw this now. We ended up doing Quinn lake and then finding a camp spot off of the Vennchar trail. Huge thanks to @Shveet for not only finding us a gas station :D but for also coordinating and guiding us through!

    Great weekend guys and thanks to all who made it possible! It was nice to put faces to names. I just pumped 25$ into self wash after the Gooderham finale with @Norilsk @honkonbobo and the Gladiator cigar hero and my rig is still caked...
