Hey friends, sorry for the late notice this one snuck up on us. I hope the new year is off to a good start for everyone!
This months meeting we thought we would take advantage of the snow and ice and put on a vehichle recovery clinic while emphasizing snow recovery, both self-recovery and recovering another vehicle. It should be lots of fun, informative and another chance to hang with Cruiserheads. I have popped 6 people out of the ditch already this winter and only couldn't get a 7th out (albeit a snow plow with sand!).
We are going to meet up near Hyalite Res at the parking lot for History Rock. That should give us plenty of parking to spread out and do some live demo's on how to get unstuck.
Details:
When: This Saturday Jan 14th
Time: 10:30-Noon
Where: History Rock Parking Lot... Click Here for a Map
IMPORTANT PLAN B LOCATION: If for some unforseable reason History Rock's lot is too full to play, we will continue at each parking lot on the right until we find a good spot. So we will try History Rock first, then Blackmoore Lake Trail head, then the main parking lot. There is no cell service up there, so this is the best plan we've got.
Channels for Coms: HAM 146.460 and FRS 15? and CB Channel 4... haha, nobody is running CB's anymore... Progress.
What to bring: Winter Gear, your Cruiser, hot coffee/cocoa, happy kids, well behaved/leashed dogs, good footwear.
We will cover:
After Party: Lunch/Cookout in the snow anyone!?
Who's In!?
