TRUXterra Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Not surprised by this, and a good move on you part Jay! I spent about 2 hours travelling a total distance of just over 3kms, in and back, to take the kids to my uncle's Maple camp. If the odo worked in reverse, I probably came closer to double that distance. The trip in was about 1/2 an hour, the return was 1 + 1/2 hours. Glad I have a winch; I used it 7 times today ;).

Guest Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Unfortunate but that is what I was expecting. There is still tons of snow along roads that get sunshine, no way the woods would be melted enough yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 A lot can change over the week. Maybe have to revisit it next Friday or Saturday to reevaluate it. I went out with Donnie and Ben to prerun their trail for next Sunday too. We went about 500m... Down the first hill and only started up the second. Just old skidoo track at the beginning, no real traffic on it at all. 1/2 hour down, and 3hrs back up and onto the road, lol! The snow was knee deep in the shallow places still, and waist deep in the deeper spots. The key was no wheel spin, but Suzanne was having difficulties and would spin and dig down...

SQRLPWR Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Robbi and Tom weren't having too much trouble, but me and my skinny 31's were sinking into the soft stuff pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sar4x4 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Lol . That was the Miller road you were on. The road to E2C. No wonder we cancelled it! I can't see cars going in anytime soon! Where you turned around the snow is always the deepest, just the orientation I guess. Anyway, the forecast is warm all week, if you didn't have too many trucks I bet it would be a tough but fun run, but I bet you would not cross the brook where the bad bridge is!

My 31s were aired down to 6... and I didn't spin a tire, but going up the hill we had was impossible. Once you started spinning you were done, because then you're digging... But my TJ is also quite a bit lighter than your X too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with all the melt that will be coming, I'm not sure how many will want to attempt that crossing. Maybe it won't be bad, but I'm guessing it'll be fairly deep. I know I will NOT drive on that bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacoMitch Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Lmao I'm not sure if I know which one you're talking about. I think I do, robbi was trying to explain it, but I'd have to see it to know for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robicon Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Lmao I'm not sure if I know which one you're talking about. I think I do, robbi was trying to explain it, but I'd have to see it to know for sure! Different bridge! No way in hell any of us would make it over it. One kid with Daddy's brand new jeep tried it and flipped into the river a few years back. Not associated with us by any means. However we did help recover it.

derekmac Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah, probably not the one Matt is thinking of. This one is near the big pit. They we're going to resurface it, but I don't think they were going to do anything to the structure underneath. If you've seen the structure, you wouldn't drive anything more than an ATV on it. Or atleast I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e36m3 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm in for Sunday. I never ran muddy Myra yet ans it should be extra muddy now. If there is someone willing, I know of a gnarly spot that could bring you back to Myra road. I wanted to try this year but never had anyone with me to help me in case...

derekmac Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 The snow has dropped close to 2' in our back yard this week, so the trail might not be bad. We've made other plans for this weekend now though, but should be open for any other weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Since its postponed we wont be doing a club run this weekend, but everyone is welcome to go and run the trail :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunet-Hemi Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm up for going out anyway, Sunday, if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 I wouldn't mind going but I have never been out that way so I would need someone to come that knows the trail. There is probably quite a bit of snow left though. I hike the other side of rocky Myra this week and it was pretty deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brunet-Hemi Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 I might go up and check it out saturday evening. After i get my winch installed. Ill report back after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 If anyone knows the trail and is willing to guide, I'm 100% going. The snow melted a lot in the trail near where mercers best built structures was so I'm guessing we should be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e36m3 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Is someone guiding the trail? If not I'll make other plans for tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
