Canada-June 27th & 28th 2008

[drummond]

Im going to Canada in June. I will be running some private property, and several trails on the province land. Big rocks, tight trails. This isnt a stocker run, but should be a great time for those equipped. Sault Ontario

We are going the 27th and 28th of June, and staying at Blueberry Hills Campground. www.onblueberryhill.com

Spending one day at the Trussle Offroad Park, and another day exploring the vast wilderness of the Province Trails.

Should be a great time, and I hope some can join me.



Suggested Requirements

35's
Locked Front Rear
Winch
Tow Points
Body damage possible

If you still wish to go, but do not meet this requirements, just contact me. If you are seriously interested in going we will definitely make that work

[Beefy]

Victor

Well I am sure that you have been there before, but I was interested in going to Charlenes property, the ORV park. I have talked to several people I know well that have been there, and they say it is a really nice place.

[Drac]

i only have 31's:cry:

[canadian_jeeper]

Its a great place to wheel lots of everything for everyone what are the dates? the pics I posted of my rig are from a run last fall at Charlenes property.

[pre4runner]

I'd like to go for sure, i really need to find a tow rig soon

[h8pvmnt]

Too early for me to say for sure, but I'd like to go.

[drummond]

Lets hear some dates that work for people in June

It would be really awesome if you could join us Victor. I know that you are very knowledgeable about the area, and could maybe point us in the direction of good trails at the park.

[sglide]

i got to check my sch.

[Mongo]

i got to check my sch.

You're busy Fathers day weekend.

[Orange CJ]

sounds like a good time I could be interested.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Like I told you this weekend, I'm in. It's a really long drive for me but i will sacrifice for you Brent.

[jsawduste]

You guys in Yooper land have all the fun. :poke:

What works out to be a resonable drive for you folks in the Northern parts is quite a hike for us flatlanders !!:cry:

Sorry but I think I will have to sit this one out.:sadpanda:

[Beefy]

Wait June? Yea I wont have 35's by then :cry:

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

You don't want to take your shit there anyway.


Who am I kidding, I don't want to take MY shit there but someone has to go and pull Brent out.

[Beefy]

You don't want to take your shit there anyway.


Who am I kidding, I don't want to take MY shit there but someone has to go and pull Brent out.

I'll take your quad :hehe:

[Fullsize4life]

Wish i could go. I dont think my wife will let me go with a 2 month old baby at home!!!!

[Trail Junkie]

Put me down as a Maybe

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I think nate was just drunk and being pissy

[swampjeep]

how are the flies this time of year, I was there once over Memorial day weekend and thought I was going to get carried away.

[Grandman]

By mid June the black flies will carry you away for sure .

[drummond]

any input on that Victor? When do you think would be a good time to go

[canadian_jeeper]

Hi I would suggest the end of May or beggining of June or you will get carried away by the flys:eek: Also suggest no smaller than a 35" tire and one locker and must have a winch.



Victor

[bobfox]

Depending on the date I would be interested in going.

How far of a drive is it from the mackinaw bridge?

[Beefy]

Depending on the date I would be interested in going.

How far of a drive is it from the mackinaw bridge?

about one hour

[sportsnut44]

Depending on the date I would be interested in going.

bob it's about 6 hours from your house

i went last october with some of these guys, you will love it.

your jeep is perfect for these trails, you will be challenged.

be carefull if drumond has you follow him up a trail at night,brent body damage is emminant. :poke:

we almost had body damage walking up to spot them.

[sglide]

info on the date????
i do want to go

[pre4runner]

Hmm well depending how the drummond island run goes i'm still in. We'll see how much money i have left over and if there is time. the later in june the better

[drummond]

Hmm well depending how the drummond island run goes i'm still in. We'll see how much money i have left over and if there is time. the later in june the better

that is what it is looking like for me. something in the middle to later june.

the bugs could possibly be not as bad as usual if we continue this relative cold snap with the remaining snow, they might come out a little later this year.

[bobfox]

Well hopefully it wont be June 6-8, I have a class that weekend so I wouldn't be able to make it.

[canadian_jeeper]

I have a wedding the last weekend of June :hehe:

[jthomp]

Sounds like a great time. We'll see once I get done with my newest buildup phase.

Just the same, let's some pictures of this place.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I have not sn too many pictures of this place. I'm a bit skeered. Maybe i'll just ride along with Beefy in his Kota.

[canadian_jeeper]

Its not as bad as you think lots of go arounds and lots of trees for winching, Iam open in the front and only have 36 iroks but if it rains alot then expect alot of winching. Here are some pics from a couple years ago http://photoshare.shaw.ca/view.php?VEID=35632_OxzapW1160507436JayKTC&mesg=1

[canadian_jeeper]

Here is a direct link to park http://www.saulttrusseloffroad.com/index.html :popcorn:

[drummond]

awesome site. how does the weekend of June 21st look for people?

[Beefy]

I have not sn too many pictures of this place. I'm a bit skeered. Maybe i'll just ride along with Beefy in his Kota.

I figured u would wanna ride... :hehe:


Seriously are we taking the kota there? I'm game...

[bobfox]

I hate mud. :hehe:

[drummond]

I hate mud. :hehe:

did you see some of those rocks in those pictures? Looks like it would rival wheeling down south. Some seriously intense stuff

[bobfox]

Yeah, some of those trails look awesome. I will definitely be in for that trip

[eswiger]

I am going to try to make the trip. I will round up a couple guys from the Petoskey area and let you know for sure once it gets closer. Were would camping be available? 21st is that a date for sure. Works great for me. I was looking through the photos and looks like a couple of the girls I meet last time I was at the Princess. Nice to see people getting out to wheel, to hell with voting on club t-shirt colors.

Im from petoskey as well. Im sure that we could get a convoy. Yes camping will be available at http://www.onblueberryhill.com/blueberryhill/index.html

I would like to hear what date works out best for others, as the 21st is good for me. Hopefully in the next week we can set some date for sure

[eswiger]

Got myself in the Dog house when I told the wife I was going wheeling on the 21st. Guess that is my daughters birthday. I would be up for the 14th or 28th. I don't miss a trip to Canada only a couple hours and some of the best wheeling. I am sure I could round up a couple others from Petoskey. If you were hauling out from here that would make a nice convoy. Make sure all considering the trip don't have any DUI's or it is an expensive trip.

[Orange CJ]

so is the date set yet? Are we going to need a passport? Should have the Jeep back together tomorrow looking forward to this trip.

[miffy]

you guys better get Musk.. nothing will keep the black flies off better, and put it everywear, in your ears and around your eyes, be carefull not to get it in your eyes though. we used to go fathers day weekend fishing up there all the time they will be out. and I would even go as far as to take one of those nets t hat go over your head..

Have fun!!:hehe:

[drummond]

well if the weekend of the 14th works for most, that would work for me. I know some people had talked about the 21st, and that it didnt work....so lets hear it. the 14th or the 21st?

[pre4runner]

I could possibly do the 14th, the further away from spring fling the better but springfling usually doesn't cost me much as long as the rig holds up

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

14th or the 27th are the only weekends I can make it. Wife works the other weekends so I am on daddy duty those weekends. This trip I will fly solo or bring a winch bitch (Beefy).

[Beefy]

:nate:

[drummond]

After looking things over, we are going to try and have this run the 27th and 28th of June.

The 14th, and 21st do not work for me anymore. I know this weekend wont work for everyone, but if you are able to join us please do! We will be staying at Blueberry Hills Campground, and wheeling Friday and Saturday. One day at the Tressle ORV Park, and another day out on the province land. Hope you can join us. There will be a sure challenge for anyone.

[Mongo]

Now that may work. Better check with the boss.

[pre4runner]

that date works great for me

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Well I have a problem with you...but we'll settle it in Canada punk. Meet me on the 27th at Blueberry Campground. Be there or be square.

[drummond]

ill probably get there thursday night the 26th. you should too so that I have a place to sleep:hehe:

[Grandman]

Id like to do this trip but after the DI & adventure run i need to let my wallet heal .

[Blackjackbender]

maybe, should have my rig done by then.

[Grandman]

maybe, should have my rig done by then.


What are you doing to it ?

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

ill probably get there thursday night the 26th. you should too so that I have a place to sleep:hehe:

Ok fine.

I thought you were selling. It would be cool to have you along.

[Blackjackbender]

What are you doing to it ?

its a secret. :hehe::hehe:


i have a run a weekend before so ill have to see.

[Nate4d]

ill never tell! if i have my 37s by then i will most def be in for this run. funds depending!

[Rover]

Ill be down at Rausch Creek the week before this one, no go for me

[Evil Queen]

I am really really going to try to make this. It is really close to our crazy time, but it is geographically so close to me.

[Haggar]

Wish I could, but no chance. I'll probably be up there in October, though.

[Evil Queen]

This is actually looking to be a real possiblility for me.

[drummond]

This is actually looking to be a real possiblility for me.

:nate:

im really looking forward to this run. canada is probably my favorite place for wheeling

[Mongo]

This is actually looking to be a real possiblility for me.

X2

[Evil Queen]

July and August, I work 7 days from 8am till about 1am. Sometimes I can get time off in late August (already told Ray about going out east). TWH party last Aug. was my first day off in like 58 days!

I deserve Canada, don't you think:hehe:

[Mongo]

You can't compare to the harshness of my dreary schedule.

[Evil Queen]

You can't compare to the harshness of my dreary schedule.

:flip: my work isn't as dangerous (except when I go postal) but hey......

[Mongo]

:flip: my work isn't as dangerous (except when I go postal) but hey......

I did get a calous from the remote once.:hehe:

[Evil Queen]

Yes:dance: yes:dance: yes:dance: He said yes!!!!!!!!
I'll be there on the 26th!!!!!!

[Blackjackbender]

im most likely out but there is a slight chance i may make it. (not due to not having a rig)

[eswiger]

Sounds like a good weekend. I may have 1 more vehicle coming with me. Are you doing runs Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday? Make sure people know they need a passport or drivers license and birth certificate to get back to the U.S. If you don't already have a passport it is to late to get one by then.

[Evil Queen]

I don't have a valid passport anymore...and when I was born they carved that crap on stones with a chisel. This could be a problem

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Find that stone tablet Pam. I found mine.

[Tacoma King]

do you have to have a passport?

[drummond]

you can have a drivers license and birth certificate still

[Trucks are for girls!]

i want to go but i dont have like a rig built yet :sadpanda: so that could be diffucult
anyone want a passenger???? :hehe:

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

You got nothing to laugh at...:poke:

[Thread-Killer]

nice one tim, I would ask to go with some one, but I know I won't find anyone. that's why I'm going to work like hell over the summer to build my rig :woot: and some people already know what I plan on for a rig, I'll see if muddypaws can make a photo shop of what it might look like :woot:

[Beefy]

You got nothing to laugh at...:poke:

Do you know any slow or special people?

[Tacoma King]

Was going to go and hang with muddypaws but i found out that I can not go. the week of the trip is the first week of my frist summer collge class. I can't complane much becouse the class is going to cost me nothing becouse the UB program I am in is paying for every thing:woot:

haha u cant go either!

[pre4runner]

If all goes as planned i will be up with my dad and brothers, none have been on a real trip with me. So we'll be up for the run and then staying for a week fishing and camping.

[Orange CJ]

that date should work for me. I hope I can save enough money to drive the RV not looking forward to sleeping in a tent!!

blueberry also offers hotel rooms that are on site. they are quite nice, I stayed there one year.

[Evil Queen]

since you said the rooms are walking distance from the campfire...I'll be in a room thanks. You all snore too much for me:hehe:

[miffy]

you can call Diane up there. they also have a house they rent out. depending on how many are going and spliting the cost it could save you all money. Just a thought.

[Evil Queen]

too dangerous...if I drink I might accidentily forget which room is mine :dance:

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I thought you were sleeping with me....

[Evil Queen]

Is that an option?:hehe:


oh wait....did I type that outloud???:eek:


sorry, you're too old....I have to keep up my cougar standings :lol:

[canadian_jeeper]

I can only go on the Saturday working on Friday, hopefully not too much carnage on Friday so everyone can go Saturday good luck everyone. :hehe:

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

You gonna show us some secret areas?

[canadian_jeeper]

sure as long as you can drive with a blind fold lol :hehe:

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

hahahahahah

[whiterhino]

Brent,
I've been to Char and Randy's twice. Plenty to do and about the most challenging in Canada you'll find in one concentrated area. If it's wet it turns into alot of horsepower or winching.

That time of year you must be prepared to deal with the bugs or they will drive you crazy. Have fun!

Jim

[canadian_jeeper]

guess i won't need the blind fold after all, but whiterhino is correct excellent place to wheel

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I think we're doing the park on Friday and other stuff on saturday. I was looking for some of your secret "other stuff"

[Neurotoxin]

Anyone going on this trip with some mild rides, looking to go trail riding etc. on the Saturday? Trussel is too hardcore for my almost stock set-up :-(


Thanks for the link to this site Mr. Beefy!!!

Thanks for the link to this site Mr. Beefy!!!

No prob buddy :thumb:

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

:woot:

Glad to see you here Neurotoxin. The park is a no no with a stocker but much of the queensland stuff can be done. Just depends on the line you take and whether or not you mind hearing the skid plates bang on stuff.

I am planning on a mild build rig run out Trestle Trail. It can be done with a stocker and some conviction I think.

Front/rear tow point are a must.

I'll leave it to Brent to make the call.

[Neurotoxin]

Ya, I know of many trails through Heyden, Goulais, etc. that I can possibly do.....problem is I've never gone wheeling with others before and I've always turned around when things looked if'y (no winch). I really don't know the full capabilities of my truck yet. Banging off the skid plates is'nt a problem for me....had to use the front one to pop my self out of a couple of holes before.....cracked the bumper valance doing it but I got out.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

What are you wheelin?

Wheeling with a group of experienced people is, in my mind, some of the safest wheeling and it gives you a real good opportunity to learn what the rig can do, and how it will feel when it is doing things on the limits.

Getting stuck is not a big deal as long as there are recovery points at both ends so you can be pulled through what you can't drive through. Common things, no trailer balls etc apply.

[Neurotoxin]

07 Ranger FX4 Level 2. Torsion crank and on 31" mudders or 31" BFG AT's

Two tow hooks on the front and a class 3 hitch on the rear for recovery points.

[Orange CJ]

that date should work for me. I hope I can save enough money to drive the RV not looking forward to sleeping in a tent!!


Doat, not good, this is my wife's birthday weekend. How can I forget that after 14yrs? She's not excited about wheeling in Canada. Not sure if I'm going to be able to make this or not. Trying to convince her to spend the day @ the casino while I play. I'll keep ya posted.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Hell, drop her off at a hotel and her and my my wife can hang out.

[Beefy]

Hrmmmmm guess i should make sure i get the weekend off :hehe:

[thrca]

Tim, We will have to evaluate the Da J33P and see what we think.. Not sure what my budget is and our time constraints, but I will snap some photos tomorrow while Im putting on trailer tires and we can decide from there.

Either way, Im showing up at your doorstep sometime around the 25th (or earlier)

[Orange CJ]

Looks like I'm out for this trip. Due to the lack of any homes sales, I'm a REALTOR, I've been forced to fall back on my skills & join the 40hr workforce. Starting my new job June 16th & not going to be able to have the time off for this trip. Plus, my wife wasn't very happy I was going to be gone over her birthday. Hope to make the next one.

[drummond]

Bump. Hopefully some can join us for this run. Should be a good time!

After further evaluation of the park that we are going to, we are STRONGLY suggesting a winch. There are many places that are unsafe or not practical to have another vehicle pull or winch on you.

[Beefy]

I wont be going on this trip now sorry

[thrca]

You suck.. now I dont have to sleep on the floor..

[Beefy]

You suck.. now I dont have to sleep on the floor..

Tim said he was going to sleep with you anyway... :ptt:

[thrca]

At least I might stay warm.. He tried to snuggle the time he drank one too many Tequila sunrises also.

[drummond]

Well the time is getting closer, the run is next weekend. So far we have a small group going, but it should be a good time, rivaling some of the best wheeling anywhere on the East Coast

Here is who I have going so far
**Drummond
**Muddypaws
**Evil Queen
**Sglide
**Canadian Jeeper (one day I think)

Anyone else is welcome, contact me if you would like to come. We will be able to hit plenty of trails with such a small group. Reservations for rooms can be made with Blueberry Hill Resort and Campground. www.onblueberryhill.com I will be arriving Thursday night, and we will be wheeling some trails on the Queen Land on Friday. Doing some stuff at the park on Saturday. Remember your bug spray:thumb:

[thrca]

Im planning on having Tim chauffeur me around, If I don't go broke between now and next weekend.

[drummond]

sounds good. by the sounds of it, the three of us will be sharing the camper:dirty::hehe:

btw. tim is not allowed to drink on Thursday:lol:

[thrca]

Noted.. Last time I drank with him, he made me drive the boat while he puked in lake michigan.

[Evil Queen]

I am excited and scared to death at the same time! I will have Olivia with me for sure and Erica as well I think.

I am ready to go except I have to take my jeep in and get the linkage fixed. I'll do that tomorrow to be sure.

I'll call the hotel tomorrow as well.

[Evil Queen]

I'll bring Absinthe for me and Tim......maybe he'll let me feel his scar:hehe:

[thrca]

Not sure about his scar, but if you get him drunk enough you might end up feeling something.:hehe:

[Evil Queen]

Not sure about his scar, but if you get him drunk enough you might end up feeling something.:hehe:

Yeah, but most people know I'm obsessed with Tim's ass.......I'm not sure I have any pics of his face. :lol:

[drummond]

Noted.. Last time I drank with him, he made me drive the boat while he puked in lake michigan.

oh there have been a few times with him that I remember. Hopefully he actually wheels on Friday this time:hehe:

ALSO:

Vehicles HAVE to be cleaned before re-entering the United States. No mud or vegatation hanging anywhere. I will talk to Diane at Blueberry about the power-washer they have up there and make sure its working

[thrca]

Yeah, we wouldnt want to taint the US with any of that canadian mud..

[curly]

how many of you's are coming up to canada

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Noted.. Last time I drank with him, he made me drive the boat while he puked in lake michigan.

Since Beefy is out this weekend, i'm going to have to make 2 trips over the border. One to get the Camper for us all there and the other to get the Jeep there.

Lucky for me it's a little less than 20 miles each way.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

how many of you's are coming up to canada

Looks like 5 rigs for the park, maybe 6 for the queen's land...might be one less in the park if sglide is still broke.

[pre4runner]

Ok so here is the deal... i will be able to make it as long as i find a tow rig and one person to ride with me to split fuel charges. I should have a good idea if i can make it on friday or saturday.

Since i am lazy i didn't read through the whole thread. What times are people leaving and driving up. I would like to meet someone at the bridge or before canada.

I am leaving Thursday, probably around 4 or so from Petoskey, so that would put me at the bridge around 5 or so. Only about an hour and a half from there to Canada.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I'll be leaving from here about noon on thursday. Then coming home to get the Jeep and heading back over. I want to be all set up by 3 or 4.

[Evil Queen]

Cleared everything with the boss....I'll be leaving with Brent on Thursday, don't have to be back until Sunday!

[Beefy]

Is brent's jeep back together?

[pre4runner]

ok well that gives me a good idea, i'll keep ya posted

[drummond]

Is brent's jeep back together?

For the most part yes. I just need to finish up a couple more additional things. I am building a custom skid/crossmember tomorrow. I get some driveline vibes with the homemade driveshaft, but that is due to having a standard joint on the transfer case output, versus a double cardon joint. But I have driven it around, and to work this week.

[sglide]

But I have driven it around, and to work this week.im going back to a standard joint, the double C isnt giving me enuf up and down travel and is binding long befor full droop.

rover and i are gonna try and make this in my jeep, all a matter of money at this point

[drummond]

rover and i are gonna try and make this in my jeep, all a matter of money at this point

yeah the standard joint just hurts me on the road because of my wheelbase. the angle is really sharp off the t-case, so i get vibes. however it will be better offroad, and wont bind. I have clearanced all the yokes. it will work for now

i will guarantee it to be some of the best wheeling you have ever done, so hopefully you can make it

[thrca]

Still looking OK for this.. in between money atm since I just payed an arm and leg to move, but should be fine. I will find some crap to sell to Tim to make up the difference.. I have some concrete he could use for building that moat.

You already know everything. All that is left is for you to put your hand down my pants and feel...well...whatever you want. :lol:

I'm already crazy, that would just make me feel more nuts :eq:

[Evil Queen]

So, Tim.... I talked to Brent for awhile last night about what to bring etc. Is there anything you can think of that I should bring or not bring...etc. for the trip? Brent said to make sure both cars are fairly clean...no mud etc.

Are you bringing your laptop? I was thinking of bringing mine just for movies, but if it's a hassle at the border I don't want to.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Laptops are no problem. I'll be bringing mine also so I can load Canada maps.

We should get something going on food so we don't all have to bring everything. I'll be doing breakfast for everyone ...french toast...2 mornings.

Coffee is a no brainer....I'll take care of coffee, sugar, milk.

Be nice if someone brought some kind of covered coffee cups for people.



Bring rain gear. Weather is calling for possible rain all 3 days.

Bring several pairs of shoes/boots. It would also be in your best interest to buy a boot dryer from Wal-Mart or something. I tell you what, I have used mine a million times and it's way better than spending all weekend in a set of wet boots because you got a soaker the first day there.

I might think of more.

[Evil Queen]

I can bring carry out coffee cups. I assume lunch is on the trails, what about dinner?

[drummond]

I cant wait till Thursday, I have been crazy busy getting ready for this. Built a custom crossmember/skid-plate, changed a freeze plug, changed oil, changed coolant, changed spark plugs, and adjusted the steering properly. Got the newer t-case in, homemade d-shaft working well. Still need to fill up the t-case tonight, finish up a few loose ends with wiring, put new shoes on the rear drum brakes, build a mount for my chainsaw and axe, and figure out a vent for the t-case. Tomorrow after work I need to get the truck ready, everything loaded and packed and everything I dont finish tonight done.

[Evil Queen]

I'm packing tonight and cleaning the cars tomorrow. I am excited and terrified at the same time.

[Beefy]

Have fun everyone!!! Takes lots of pic's for me! Oh and someone hump Tim for me :sadpanda:

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I was thinking about doing dinner with someone bring this and someone bring that but never made the post and now it's a little late.

Lunch on the trail on your own but I always have too much crap so I will share my banana. :hehe:

I don't know what i'll do for dinner. I'll have my little grill and anyone is welcome to cook their stuff on it. I'll also have the camper so you can cook stuff on the stove too. No oven though, so plan accordingly.

Anyone have any fire wood? I do not and don't know where to get any.

I doubt they will let us transport firewood. I can live on hotdogs cooked or not. :hehe: It won't be like having Mongo as my cook though....his camping meals rock! Brent said there is a restaurant nearby. Will we be back in time at night to eat there?

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

We could go to the restaurant but I was trying to avoid it. If we have to then we will. I'm going food shopping tomorrow so I'll see what I can come up for for dinner.

I need an accurate count for people though.

[sglide]

rover and i will be there

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I'll buy more video tape.

[sglide]

I'll buy more video tape.good idea, we are bringing spare parts, and lots of tools
have cam. ready

[Evil Queen]

Me livy and erica

I'll bring food too.

[drummond]

I have a chainsaw and an axe. Im sure that I can go find some fallen timber.

Food.....I will bring an assortment, but there are a couple stores down the road if we decide to do something for dinner, we could always grab it there.

Everything else sounds good. Im just busy getting ready.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I'm packing.

[Evil Queen]

I'm packing.

I'm getting ready to leave for the store to get last minute stuff and food, then I'm cleaning out the cars at the Dam, then loading the jeep on the trailer, then going home and packing clothes.

Then I'll probably sit awake all night too excited to sleep. So I'll have to think of something to do.

[Evil Queen]

Last chance if I need to get anything else.......10 minutes and I'm outta here.


tried to read what I can and cannot bring.....confuses the crap outta me.....I can't bring my gun, that I know, but I'm assuming I can bring 1 bottle of absinthe and a 6 pack?

[sglide]

truck is almost ready
jeep is ready
well load up tonight

[Beefy]

Don't forget your Birth Certs!!!!!

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

I've got a fukkin stuck caliper.:pissed:

I gotta go over to the shop and see if I have a spare. If not, i'll run it the way it is.

[drummond]

Got the CJ loaded on the trailer tonight. Im almost good to go.

Re-sorted and re-packed all my tools, did my rear brakes, wrapped up some wiring issues, got CO2 re-filled, and got my Jeep all cleaned up. Im all set with food, and all I need to do is pack my clothes tomorrow after I get off work at 1. Its been a crazy week, ive worked on my Jeep constantly.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Spare caliper was screwed to. Parts store opens at 7:30 am.

[Neurotoxin]

Have a safe and fun time.

I dropped off some firewood at Tim's campsite today. Enjoy. There should be enough for at least two nights.

I wish I could go but I have to work tomorrow and my truck isn't quite equiped to run Trussel on Saturday. The wife and I plan on heading to the St. Ignace car show for Saturday.

[thrca]

I might head that was afterall, hard to say exactly. Keep your phone handy and call me back if you see I called. :D Shannon got on my case when I said I wasnt going because I had too much stuff around the house to do. She made me stop working because she saw what she claims was some mold on a window sill until some guy could come test it.

[MuddyPaws 3.0]

Yeah, some of those trails look awesome. I will definitely be in for that trip

:poke:

[Beefy]

He said he was really pissed he didn't make it when I told him how much fun you guys had :hehe:
