Labour Day weekend trip?

I'll be working 4-mid Friday, 4-10pm Saturday on the long weekend; so the only days I am available is Sunday and Monday as of now. I start at Nait Tuesday morning.

I would really like to explore the Cadomin area, I've been told its good stuff, but that would be more than a day trip. If we can get plans figured out I can try to get my shifts covered. Saturday shouldn't be too hard to get rid of, Friday may cost me a case of beer.:D

i realize (other)guys have family and commitments, but maybe we should consider doing the loop from nordegg to hinton via cadomin. a multi day trip, guys can do the whole thing or just part.

i guess that is hard to organize...
especially in a land with no cell. where are the rmlca guys, with their ham radios, when you need them.

anyone have any input??

as it stands, i am thinking of leaving for nordegg either thursday or friday depending on who is coming and their plan requirements

Would be a good opportunity to scout for good areas. No Ham radio yet, but it sounds like I'll need to get licensed and pick one up for Alaska next summer..... I have an old sat phone kicking around, is should fire it up and see if it still gets coverage... We could arrange to meet at a certain intersection in the Cadomin/mountain park area on Sunday at high noon or something like that. I'd be game for doing a full loop and taking off on Friday.

Perhaps I'll give you a call later tonight Eric...
 
I am willing to join you on Friday. But as it stands I've recently lost all motivation to get my cruiser ready for such a trip. If one of you provides a seat, and can get me home before 2100 on Monday..I'd be happier than hell. What do you think about that ?
 
Sounds like a plan to me Karol, when are you free on Friday?
 
I plan on working till about 4 or 5. If it is too late, I can accommodate! Perhaps I'll call you tomorrow in the evening. Always better to make plans through a phone.
 
I am probably free this weekend if you guys want to do a Falls Creek run let me know. I can take a group out there.
 
John, it's looking like Eric, Karol and I will be in the Nordegg area with 2 trucks. Would Falls Creek be a day trip? Perhaps we (and others who can make it that day) can arrange to meet at the trailhead or in Nordegg on Sunday or Monday?
 
I could do a whole weekend thing if you guys didn't want to drive all the way out there. There is no shortage of trails out there. Let me know what you figure it would be closer for you guys if your interested.
 
If you guys plan on running a full weekend trip, I could probably drive out early Sunday morning/Saturday night after work and meet up with everyone from there. But I don't know how difficult it would be to find you guys though, being no reception and all in the middle of buttfxxx nowhere. Would it be worth it, or should I pass and tag along next trip?

I've never been camping out of my truck before and really want to.:rolleyes:. This may be my last chance before snow falls. And I really want to go wheeling this weekend; It's been almost a week since I've been out, much too long.

Would anybody we willing to tag along if I were to head out mid weekend?

What I was thinking was if John would like to lead a day trip, we could meet up somewhere predetermined and easy to find for that (I don't even own a cell phone) on Sunday. If we were to meet at noon or so, that would leave time to get out from Edmonton and maybe camp over to Monday.

That sounds like a plan. Now we need to plan a plan.
 
I will have to think so do you want to wheel sunday and monday? Got a couple long trails we could do.
 
I would think Sunday, as that would leave a day to deal with any carnage before the work week. I'll get a hold of Eric and Karol tonight and see what they are thinking.
 
Well here is the plan, well one of them anyways. Meet at the Grandview Stage Resort (google it) at noon on sunday as time suggested by Curtis. I would personally like to go out earlier but let me here your suggestions. For those of you who would like to stay the night I have a camping location in mind. As well as wheel more on Monday. Let me know what you guys think we will be doing trails in the Praire Creek/ Falls Creek area.
 
I'd be game for earlier (say 10 AM) but anyone coming down would need time.... if anyone is coming down.

Here's the map for the resort... you're talking about the general store/gas station we met at last time? Is it at the corner with the star? If you PM me your cell number, we can touch base before we head out (around 4 tomorrow).

John, we'll be out of touch pretty soon. If we aren't talking to you, we'll be at the Grandview Stage store/gas station at 11 on Sunday Morning.

Hope to see some trucks out there,
Curtis.
 
okay sounds good i'll see you there
 
Well we had a few Land Cruisers show up which was awesome they had a blast. Pictures will soon be up loading on photo bucket.
