Are there are plans for a trip in conjunction with the forum? Kinda like the KVR deal setup a couple years back?

Anyone interested in doing something?

Put it to vote as to when and where?

Rubicon!

Wouldn't that be an awfully large group to try to manage? I find more than a dozen trucks get kinda unruly.

I remember that KVR trip - that was a great weekend!

If we do this, it would probably make sense for it to be in the BC interior again.

But how many hectic trails are there in the interior?

We'd do it as just a Herd only trip but that'd end up being only me and you Troy, lol.

The only thing that scares me about driving somewhere like the Rubicon is the drive back. That is, if there is a drive back at all.

Moab took me about 18 hours driving time, but that would be a bit less if you could keep a full 70 mph or higher on the highways when climbing hills. Gotta love the higher speed limit.

I split that into three comfortable days, but could be done quite nicely in two. I find that six hours of actual driving time plus time for break, gas stops etc made for a good day. Ran into a couple people from richmond there that had shifted between three drivers and did it straight, and thats kinda nice since you would have more time actually there.

No idea about the rubicon, that won't be until summer 2003 once I've done some changes to the rig.

Hope that helps!

I was thinking that we could do this every 3 years or so and randomize were it would be the next time.

It would be a great way to meet the others from the forum.

The Interior has some great places to wheel,nothing super drastic, but some great scenery.

Maybe it could be done in conjunction with the host citie`s (whoever that may be?) local tourist event or something?

Maybe a particular club could host something.
Maybe get an RTI ramp,teeter totter setup,stuff like that, sort of a fun day.

Maybe we can get it to become an annual event that actually gets the BC area wheelers noticed. Maybe even as a national event?

Okay, guess its time to shut up, gettin way too carried away for my own good.

These are good ideas. I'm definately in. I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since the KVR trip.

Time flies.

Hey our area has lots of great trails and serious off road stuff. Plenty of burnt out husks in the bottom of them there valleys.

Seriously though there is some good rock crawls around here, a well used mud pit right on the Chute lake run, as well as some sand there.
Didn't make it myself last year but a buddy made the Christmas present run and said they had a 125+ trucks. more then a few had to hitch rides home that day.

Expedition wise we have been working on finding a full trail from Kelowna to Christian valley.
