Hi Guys,

We are having a combined club run on the above dates. The TNTLC club will be hosting the run and it will be in the Calabogie area.

Let me know if interested and I will give more details.

You can come out for the camping or the wheeling, or both!

Hope to see some club members there!

Hi Steve, are you going to bring the lexus? If so it is too big for the trail on sunday, you won't have a fender, door, or rear quarter panel left.

But - I might switch the trails around if that is the case - run the tight one on saturday and the bigger truck friendly on the sunday.

Are you able to come out on saturday instead?

This event is growing steadly! Could be 6 trucks now!

Hi Louis;

Yes, it's the same size as the 80 series RHD. Can't make it for Saturday, but it would be nice to see you guys and your rigs. I was out last weekend at the Quinn trail, and we made it to two Step but had to turn around, because an Xterra snapped a tie-rod, and by the time it was replaced it was already 4:00pm.

Cheers;

Steve

You can meet us at the campsite after about 6pm I suspect if we dont have any problems. We'll be there for dinner and then maybe head out for some local scouting.

Thanks for the invite, but I usually head home at around 6 pm, since it takes me approx 2.5 hrs from Calabobie to get home.

lshobie · 07-27-09, 08:19 AM

No problem at all _ i understand - why don't you camp out???

crushers · 07-27-09, 05:50 PM

just chatted with Mike and we are stoked to get going.
we will be meeting at Kingston, doing lunch and meeting with some of the locals and then heading up.
we plan on being at the campsite at or before 6 friday evening.
i won't be bringing the tractor or the tractor tires. i tried out the streets in the local gravel pit and they performed acceptable and i figure they will be better on rock than the wide treaded argo tires.

see you boys at the camp.

lshobie · 07-27-09, 06:50 PM

Ok sounds good. I am heading up there in the morning so I can grab the spot early in case someone else wants it. Will have my family until about 2-3 pm and then they will head out.

What are people going to do for food?

I am supplying friday night dinner with steaks and beverages.

Are we fending for ourselves for the rest or what do y'all have in mind. We'll be eating on the trails for lunch.

Just to help a bit for directions:

Get to the bridge on hydro dam road and then,

-cross bridge

-stay left and follow paved road up hill

-When you get to the top of the hill there are 3 offshoots, take the middle to your right - you will drive beside a large pile of crushed stone.

- Follow that road and you will see "KM 1, KM 2" etc etc signs increasing as you drive

- you will stay on the main dirt road and the camp will be somewhere between "KM7" and KM 15 - I forget exactly at what km - but the road is right beside the camping spot.

If you call my cell number when you are leaving kingston I will know when to expect you.

Here are directions from Mapquest Kingston to Calabogie, but I would prefer to drive through inverary and westport as that is the way I used to drive and always thought it to be quicker. This will give you some nice paved backroads that you can take your time on and not feel rushed.

Driving Directions from Kingston, ON, CA to Calabogie, ON, CA

I am primed and ready for this trip - should be fricking awesome - and we can do some exploring as well - if someone can get up to calabogie area earlier let me know and we can do some more scouting.

I can't make it for Saturday, and on Monday I have to go back to work (I live/ work in Quebec - no holiday!).

Ok guys, looks like sleeping arrangements have changed slightly, we won't be camping at the lake, we will be staying at Jockos beach chalet instead.

We'll be leaving meeting at the dam/bridge at 9 am sharp for the saturday run into the quinn trail, and same for sunday - 9am sharp for the Craig lake trail.

My phone number is 613-614-7852 let me know if you are planning on coming for a trail ride.
