Eastcoastcam Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Due to our scheduled club run for August conflicting with HillBillie Bash, it is being moved back a week to August 25-26 weekend. Please vote on the poll to give the best possible time. The most votes by 6:00pm Tuesday, August 14th will determine the date/time. I have a few trails in mind, so trail to be TBA. Meeting point will be posted Tuesday with date/time. Trails will be stock doable. *EDIT* I am leaving the poll open til tonight when I get home from soccer (around 8:00pm Wednesday) :) would like to see a few more votes.

GC-Laredo Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 What would you say the trail rating is for stock doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 What would you say the trail rating is for stock doable? Basically up to a level 6 would be "stock doable". You will get through it. You will get some "pinstripes" in your clearcoat from the tree branches. You might need help getting through some spots or there would be a bypass for stock rigs.

Eastcoastcam Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hunt for the Gold Tournament for the girls is the weekend of the 18-19th I believe. It is the weekend of the 25-26 for the boys, that's why I voted for the Saturday night run, plus I haven't done a night run in a LONG time !!

You may need a tug on the strap here and there (maybe) and you may bump the underside as well. I said "doable" over "friendly" because it won't be just a drive down a dirt road ;) ! ...unless it rains a bunch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I do believe I will be in the valley that weekend. Will check schedule and see if I can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertMcC Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I'll just be getting back on the 26th.. So Ill be out, Coming back from Ontario. As for stock friendly, nothing is, Just need to know your rig and its limits, If I can, anyone can lol ( Clear cut for example ) If you don't mind being tugged around a bit.

Eastcoastcam Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 C'mon folks, let's get some more votes for this month's run!!! The poll will be open til Tuesday, 7:00!!! It seems as though 3 of you are afraid of the dark, so far!! ;) lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'm not afraid of the dark - I just know that we have another night run scheduled already :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I'm not afraid of the dark - I just know that we have another night run scheduled already :) That is tentative for October @ Burnt Lake, but not decided for sure. I would rather run at night in August, than October. Especially better if it is hot the weekend of the 25-26th, it will be cooler in the night. That`s another reason I put it out there.

sar4x4 Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Nice idea. I think I'm doing the Hillbillie Bash though, and I'll have used up my wheelin' credits with the gf for a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcoastcam Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 I am leaving the poll open till this evening (Wednesday) and will post up a meeting place/time after I get home from Cam's soccer game, around 8:00. Let's see some more votes!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 So even though there is more votes on the poll for a Sunday DAY run, due to my boys both involved in two different soccer tournaments Friday to Sunday, our run will be a SATURDAY NIGHT run. So Saturday, August 25th, 7:00pm at the Downsview Tim Hortons (by Staples & Doolie's) in Sackville. Leave for the trailhead at 7:30pm. A few of us are going to prerun it on the weekend to make sure it is all passable and stock doable ;) !! Don't break your rigs at the Bash. Have fun & see you next Saturday night!!

97 cherokee Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Who's doing the pre run I wouldn't mind comeing out I'll bring the chain saw also if I don't end up at the bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Me, Scott, & Dave are going to pre-run it. PM me your cell # and I'll text you Sat. evening. I'm thinking Sunday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Well, Daren, Dave & I preran the trail today for next weekend. It will be stock DOABLE, but not necessarily friendly. There are a few rocky sections that could pose problems for small tires. I ran it with my 31s and didn't really have any problems, but I make no promises with to anyone with smaller tires, I will leave that up to you. Remember that front AND rear tow points are highly recommended just in case you need a tug here and there. Including a few stops, 3 of us stuck at once (we're not going that way though ;) ), and stopping to cook/have lunch, we were out of the woods in approx 4 hours. I expect it to be about 6hrs with more rigs. That 4hrs included driving to the trailhead from Sackville. I'll post up a few teaser pics later tonight.

Cherokee96 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Including a few stops, 3 of us stuck at once (we're not going that way though ;) ) What do ya mean we're not going that way? Sounds like the best way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 A few teaser pics from our pre-run today... You can try this if you want to ;) ...But we went this way, after the boys went catching frogs... Some rocks... There's actually lots more too!! :D ... and Cameron got stuck... where's my strap!! I think it may be a cool idea to have a campfire on the rocks over Nixon's Hole (no, we won't be driving though it!!). Roast some marshmellows and/or hot dogs. It's near half way through and a great spot. Bring a lawn chair with you, the rocks are hard seats, and hope it's not raining!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastcoastcam Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Found a bit of carnage I found last night from our pre-run... my rear PS shock came off on the top. I've got to straighten the bar pin and do it back up, haha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
