TEC || VMUTS Camping and Wheeling Trip August 23/24/25

Depends on if you guys get here around the same time. We can meet in North Bay then proceed out to the trails.

If you are going to be arrive that early we may be able to use Campsite #1 for Friday night. There are several different routes to it.

You guys will be on the road all day just to get here, so I dont know how much wheeling you want to do on Friday.

 

My plan wolud be to get into camp and get a nap for an hour and then head out wheeling

 

thinking I should be up there around 3pm too so perfect timing.

we are driving up there to go wheeling... the more the better

if I was gonna be early I was gonna get you to recommend a trail I could run solo to the Friday campsite but sounds like the timing might work to meet up and wheel to the campsite?

 

Alright sounds good, the plan is coming together boys!

We can go up to the lookout Friday, hit up trail #69 which is fun.

So if you guys are all arriving in North Bay around 3 PM, we can meet here then head out to the campsite.

I think its going to work out better then for campsite #2 on Friday. Its very easy to get to, you just go to this sandpit entrance and go in to it.

 

I should probably check that my locker actually works. Haven't tried it since buying my truck earlier this year.

 

Finally they are getting things settled with VMUTS and OF4WD.

They started this last year when I was on the board of VMUTS, I am glad its come about.

Going to get some trail ratings soon I hope!@

 

I read that yesterday. Good to see them working together.

I am without sliders at the moment. I removed my steps I was using as sliders, figured I would use them as long as I could until I really needed proper sliders. They weren't meant for off roading and have taken a beating and were quite bent. Passenger side was right up against the body so before it caused any damage, I deleted them.
We can still do whatever trails, I'll have to pick proper lines and be a bit more careful.

Looking forward to a great weekend.

 

Did some more scouting today, we were unsure if we could do this trail in reverse. So we tried it today.





Pretty intense couple hours on this trail, very very fun.

 

Just a few days until campfires and wheelin!

@Thyces @tacoma16

You guys decide yet?

 

I won’t be able to this weekend. Have some family stuff happening that I forgot about....

 

Thanks for the update!



Any weekend you want to come up here you just let me know. I will be available

 

Good to know. May be up for doing some fall stiff like before (but being better prepared and not freezing my twig and berries).

 

Just making plans to get a mower out to the the Friday night campsite. Get it nice and cleared out I hope.

 

Weather is looking amazing for all 3 days!

Let's get a solid plan of action for meeting up.

Everyone still on track for Friday August 23 3PM in North Bay? We can meet at this tim hortons. There are 2 gas stations right beside it, so everyone can gas up before we head out.

 

How do I use my OF4WD membership to get the mentioned 20% discount while purchasing the VMUTS pass?

 

Good question, I dont think you can yet.

Just buy the pass you want to. No one is checking for passes. It is a donation that supports the trail system.



Technically VMUTS is all crown land, and they can not charge you to use crown land.

 

Ya I just said fuck it and bought a yearly pass.

I don’t know how they would check any pass if they wanted to as I didn’t receive anything in the way of a pass to print or show.

 

Your receipt is your pass, no one is checking anything. Dont worry.

Thanks for buying it!@

 

Do I need to purchase online?

 

I'm not 100% sure for Friday. I was told I could have Friday off but now because of scheduling I might have to work. I'm pushing hard to get it off. Worse case is I would get there in the evening say 7/8pm
