Whipsaw October 2007

[Mud_Guppie]

I was invited to go wheeling at Whipsaw, obviously I said yes.
we had a about 28 people and 12 or 13 Cruisers and a Nissan Patrol
the run was a blast, lots of sun, no rain, some snow on the ground, no bugs, a night run with no damage, and good food
Ken and Tony (from a Cruiser group in the valley) supplied and cooked all the food
We camped near the trail head the first night because we were waiting for a few more guys. We then camped at Wells on Saturday night with a very large pile of freshly split wood. The Mud was frozen when we woke up Sunday morning but it didn't seem to bother anyone. We had the usual eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrown, OJ etc again. The food taste even better when someone else cooks it for you!
The only real damage was the Patrol flopping on it's side on the way out

What? Need more details. Who's Patrol was it? Was it a JDM Patrol (Safari) or the green Patrol I have only seen a few times. There aren't too many of the Patrols / Safaris around that I know of in the Lower Mainland - A LWB in Yarrow and a SWB in Langely. Can't have too much of a good thing. Let's see some more pics...

probably the green one
it's an older model 6 cylinder diesel
medium to darkish green
4 door, LHD
looks almost like a 60 series LC
stock tires and lift
now with new love dents to DS roof line, rear lens, and front fender
I'll see if I can find a pic of it
the patrol did really well until the driver took a bad line

Yes, I have seen that Troll a few times but don't know the driver. Its a LHD import MQ wagon. The LWBs are pretty stable. But anything will tip if the angle is right. Good to see it was a slow roll-over and no one was hurt - other than pride.

Ouch - so what was wrong with the trail on the right? I know I'm one to talk. Does not look like you had too much snow up there.

Still looks like fun... We need to invite Ken and Tony along next time we go. Glad to hear everyone had a good time.
