BiffS:

I'm refuling diesel in Abbotsford at 8:30, but I'm leaving Kitsilano somewhere around 7:00, depending on whether my passenger comes or not. You are welcome to join me if you like. You can email me at Z9Q2K7M4@telus.net to make arrangements.

Trail Entry Point

My wife wants to do some sightseeing with me in the FJ40 so we might tag along too and meet some new cruiserheads.. I live in Rosedale but won't be able to make the breakfast - is there a trail entry point and time planned?

Dan (and Amanda)
 
We'll most likely be going in at Chippmonk Creek FSR, just east of the 2nd corrections facility.We'll be there around 10:30-11:00 am.Is this correct Bill?
 
So my jeep buddy (Jason) who will be tagging along (he was with us last time we went up there as well) informs me of some trail near chipmunk/thurston that is suppose to be quite difficult. A steep rocky climb 'locked both ends' kinda thing. I figure its worth a peek :)
 
s***, I just hit the "back" button and erased my whole message. Damn...
If we get out of the Restaurant by 10:00, and if everybody is fueled up in advance, (hope, hope), then we can head down Vedder Rd. and turn left before the bridge by around 10:15 although if the number of Cruisers is huge we might have to break into groups. I suggest that Rod take one group, Steve T take another, Gary T and I take one, maybe Jeff take one. We can work that out over breakfast when we see how many show up. Weather report good. Those who want a quick thrill could try climbing the gravel pit on the way up.

Bill, I'll see you at the liqour store, Broadway and Maple around 7 AM.

I'm not sure that they're open that early though. . .;)
 
groovy baby!

woohoo..just woke and peeked outside...clear and sunny!

Time to load up the 'ol cruiser and meander eastward..after a stop at Tims for a nice large cup of mocha.

I'll be on channel 4..depending on how my mickeymouse wiring job for the cb holds up :).
 
Great day today! 17 Cruisers & 2 Jeeps. Kids, wives, sunny, easy trail, great views, not too much dust, only one breakdown when Clinton W had a fuel problem that he solved by removing a gas filter. Drew, Rob, Greg, Petra; where were you??? Lots of pictures will be posted by digital camera crew.

Well we had 2 breakdowns, after we separated Biffs rig punctured a hole in an oil cooling hose and with a quick and messy repair he was back on the road again. He managed to protect most of the ground by absorbing the oil into his shirt (while wearing it).
So I am just working on the pictures to be up on flickr (yes, I have no life) they should be up at some un-godly hour tonight.
My guests (David B. and Geoff D.) and I had a great time, I was most excited about the fact that I can't taste dust right now:D .
The FJ Team was excellent and I am sure they are currently sitting in their garage washing the rigs and going over them with touch up paint. Very friendly, informative and helpful guys!! that came with new trucks and let us "break them in" - what more could you ask for.
I think next time we'll have to give them a more challenging route:D
In the end, Marcin, Biffs and myself went home while Gary, Jeff S and I think someone else decided to head back for the hills once they saw civilization and keep off-roading.
Gary, thank you for leading us, both into a fun and overgrown trail that added more scratches to many paint jobs, and off the mountain.
 
Those are some great photo's Mat.That was a fantastic run!My co-pilot(Kim,my wife)was in awe.She loved the run,had a great time and made this run one of my favorites.This was the first time that I've got her out off-roading.I've been trying for years to share this aspect of my life with her and finnally she came,YEEHAA.The problem is that I think I've made a Cruiser Head out of her,so now my Co-pilot seat will always be full.I hope,we'll see.
 
I was putting down hardwood on Saturday until 10pm, before packing my truck. then slept in throw my alarm clock until 10am:crybaby: . I spent the rest of the day putting down trim and cleaning up. I would have much rather been with you guys. Good news is that I should have my house back together before Thanksgiving, as I am expecting to have a house full of people.

Sounds like it was a great turnout, looks like it was almost the perfect day to explore that area.
 
I definitely win the award for the most, and varied fluids spilled.

Gas, Oil, coolant, a wee bit o Power steering fluid, gear oil, birf goo, and lastly, blood. . .

But at least i didn't do a 1 wheel stand in the rookie gravel pit! :D
