I'm toying with the idea of a G-Wagen trail ride in early summer 2009 in BC. We have the Whipsaw trail here, which is a BF Goodrich "outstanding trail". I've never done it, but I hear its great (in fact, its outstanding  ) Here's some links: http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Bronco/Trip_Reports/2008/Canada_D... http://www.lornesmith.ca/whipsaw/whipsaw_list.html http://www.bc4x4.com/tr/2005/whipsaw/ Any interest amongst the G community to meet in BC in 2009?

Hey, Just checked back and noticed this is getting some interest here from the Northwest/Southwest(?) crowd! I have a friend who has done whipsaw a few times, I'll try to get some more info from him, or better yet, bring him as a guide if we decide to do that trail. Its looking like late August is probably the better choice now. I'll be doing a road trip down to LA in July so I'll probably be camped out after that. Besides, as mentioned snow can be an issue, although the snow accumulations are significantly lower this year than last. Here's a map and some more info on the Whipsaw.... http://de.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=192621 Cheers, Michael | |

Yes definitely, the more the merrier! I'd love to make the Tahoe trip but the G is not going to be 100% road ready by then. It is getting there, but it will be July before I'll be able to do any real trips. Looks like I may have arranged a bit of a guide for our group; my one friend who's done the trail before is onboard to join our group. Doesn't drive a G, but hey, everyone has flaws right? The last time I checked the snow was the trip to my cabin in the mountains a couple weeks ago. I had about 2 feet of snow there at that point, but its been snowing a lot the last few weeks. For comparison, however, there was 6 ft of snow there last year... I'll be up in the mountains again in the next week or so, should have a better idea how much worse things have gotten. Cheers, Michael | |
