Ok so since nobody else is decisive we will meet at 930 AM jan 1 at drinkwater timmies which is at the island highway and drinkwater road.
We will leave at 10 with whoever shows up. It'd still be nice if folks could post if they're coming so we have a rough idea of what to plan for.

Sounds great to me. I'll be there. I really don't know that area at all, or if it's even accessible. Anyone else know? I think we had to sign in and out on the last run.
I'm on the fence..... Depends on weather or not I'm on duty crew.
If no one knows about Duncan area accessibility and areas to go, maybe we should stick to Sooke area? Wondering if we should just meet in Sooke, and hit some of the areas we know? Could get up into Tugwell area, or go to North Main (which goes to 1000m plus elevation). If the area north of bear creek reservoir is open, that is another option that will get us to high elevation?
I'm about a 40% maybe for cowichan, and a -40% for sooke....
Ok, so maybe it's more like 20% and -1000%, but I haven't figgered it out exactly...
I'm all for Duncan area if someone can take responsibility and lead the way.
take responsibility
I went looking for a "there's your problem" picture...this one is just too awesome not to post...

Ya there's stuff in cowichan or we can hit up copper canyon... not serious wheeling but we should be able to find space to play and somewhere to have a fire and recover from new years.
OK, lets just wing it then.
Wont be able to make it... cruiser isnt quite road worthy yet unfortunately
Happy New Year all! My kids happily woke me at 6:30 this morning. 
See you guys in a couple hours.
I've got some dry firewood I'll bring along.

Turned out to be a great day! Good turn out with four cruisers and three guest rigs. Headed up Copper Canyon, played around on old mine tailings, checked out a couple nice trails. Couple inches of snow, cool with sun. Beautiful day. Only mishap was when Graham's BJ70 slid sideways on the super slick main road; thanks to Jon and Rob for the quick and safe recovery. Thanks everyone who participated, and Happy New Year. Great to meet you Stephen; thanks for organizing this run.
I've got some pics I'll post up when I get a chance, hopefully others can post some pics too (Stephen?).
