Just did loop for the first time the other weekend. Fun trail. Didn't realize the views back in there.

I should be able to make it. Likely playing catch-up as my boy has soccer that morning. I know the way, should catch up to the group just about in time for lunch

 

[WrenchMonkey]

I'm hoping my maintainance parts for samurai arrive, then I'm coming it will be an epic maiden voyage for my new to me truck

There may be a yellow dodge tagging along too if the kids scouts calendar allows.

HERE IS THE GAME PLAN...




-Chilliwack Airport Cafe for breakfast at 8:00 a.m. Saturday. Great omelets!


-Fuel up before the run.


-Bring your own lunch and be prepared in case of stormy weather. Bring cameras, warm rain gear, hat, gloves, toque, thermos, and boots as required. Bring kids and spouse, this is a family-friendly day run.


-10:00 a.m. Meet up at 2nd parking lot past the bridge turn off and park vehicles for photo lineup. If that parking lot is pre-occupied, then carry on to the next large gathering option for photo shot.


-11:00 a.m. Air down location. To get there, turn left at Slesse Monument “Y” intersection.


Keep left-ish up hill on main road until you hit gravel. (If you cross a bridge on the main road along the river, then you missed the Slesse Monument)


-Plan B might be Foley Lake if there is snow on Mount Cheam.

BE THERE!

Well my parts never showed and the parts that did are insignificant as far as safety or reliability

Just in case you need to know, the Chilliwack airport cafe is closed...gone. I'll be watching the snow line quite carefully in the next few days for you.

Gary phoned the Chilliwack Airport Coffee Shop yesterday and they are back in business, so we can get our trucker breakfast there.

I really wish I could get out to this samurai is just in too rough of shape mechanically to trust it for this

I have tow straps

 

[WrenchMonkey]

It's the making it out to chilliwack that concerns me

 

[Scalp]

We are not planning on serving hot dogs up on Mount Cheam because of the blustery weather.
Bring your thermos and sandwiches.

 

[Ol Yeller]

Sure ain't shaping up to be much for weather...oh well still be nice to get out!

Hi fellas, I've been pondering a trip over to join ya'll but have been watching the weather too....found this pretty cool mountain weather site last night which tracks the weather on different mountain locations, you may want to have a look at. So far there looks like there may be a fair amount of snow flying around up there starting Saturday morning which is putting the fence I'm sitting on a little higher......just sayin'

Have a look here....

Thanks, Rob, the weather is iffy for the south face looking toward the Border Peaks. Our Plan "B" is, if necessary, go up from the North side overlooking Chilliwack, the road on that side is maintained better. Anyway, it could be a bit of adventure and we will choose the route when we rendevous east of Vedder Crossing bridge at 10 a.m. Hope to see you there.

I'm out as my 80 is still being stored at EBI

I feel like I should buy a backup cruiser like many other members.

That's kinda funny Greg, my 80 has been at Steve's since either July or August, I've forgotten how long

That must be the parts truck he was using for mine

Anybody with a chain saw should bring it for Mt. Cheam; we probably will have deadfalls from all
that wind this week.
