I think this is a great idea, in '06 we had a big convoy planned to Ramjam but do to many reasons from borders to personal issues it never happened.

So..... Why not do one here? it's reasonably close for most of us and we can do a camping/weekender out of it.

Would want to pick a weekend that would be Just us I assume, not on any of the already scheduled events there..... or do we?

Let's get some input on this!

I'm in!

A drive to BC sure is better than 30+ hours of driving to get to Ramjam, aka Disney OK. Hopefully I'll have my truck going in a year!?

Summer for the people with kids, but other than that I'm not sure. That's what this is about, any ideas?

I agree

What stage is your truck at?

 

[Boons]

I could see myself making it out there,should have my PW road worthy enough for the rockies by then.

So, I am guessing you mean next summer? If so, that should give me time to get my Jeep put together and roadworthy.

lets run the Whipsaw trail. nice easy fun.

we're going to be running it again Aug 5-7.

I have new leaf springs, put in Jungles rear leaf brackets, new drive shafts, put in a fuel cell, fix da winch, mount shock brackets, shorten steering shaft, finish up crossover steering, wire up E-locker, etc. Should be do-able for this fall, if I just do it!

begining of july is when it realy "opens". the snow is usually 98% gone. nights and mornings are really cold. mud is very and gets very frustrating after your 4th or 5th manditory mud pit, that is if you haven't broken you truck.

aug long weekend is usually a zoo. i prefer the weekend after the long weeekend.

sept long weekend there is always chances of snow. snow on that trail sucks balls.
