I would like to know where are u meeting, and how to get there.

Thanks

[redwingfan19]

I beleive thats no.3 road exit, I think its the last exit before you go over the vedder canal. you can't miss the yellow barn.

Is this run open invite or a members only thing?

thanks

Region 2 runs are always open invite, anyone can go. Normally they stipulate what is required for your truck to have (eg tow points, good working order).

The Yarrow exit is the one after Watcom on the highway (the Cultus lake turnoff)

Try this (http://www.mytelus.com/maps/map.do;jsessionid=2B1AAC4AD7EA67BE6BC0581261C58671 ?street=%5B46000-46094%5D+3+AVE&city=Yarrow&province=BC&postal=&lat=49.090406&long=-122.122352&scale=24000&poilat=49.167065&poilong=-121.950889)

[Regger]

The usual requirements will be needed:
-Front and Rear Tow points
-CB (not required, but very nice to have)
-Full size spare (or very close to the same size)
-Enough Tools to change that tire and most minor things
-Tug Strap and shackles would be nice

Count me in.

[JimmyGirlS15]

Yes, as already posted above by everyone.

This is my first hosted run, So I'm new to what I'm supposed to post... lol :p
Some people think of Vedder as not full size friendly, however I've wheeled there with a full size, so in fact a full size truck does fit, but you will leave with our famous West-Coast Pin Striping.

No. 3 road exit/Yarrow is just outside of Abbotsford, Take the exit south, and once you’re off the freeway you will see the big yellow barn market, across the street from it is a large open gravel lot.

All 4WDABC Region 2 (R2) Run’s are open, as long as you meet the vehicle requirements (Usually the basics are; Tow points front & rear, & full size or close to spare with tools to change it)

Hope to see ya Sunday… and hopefully in my own truck :(

To bad you can't make it out, But no worries I'm sure there will be more trips real soon :)

[Wes Rempel]

Ya I guess Mom's come before wheeling... or you could bring her along for the ride .. ;) lol
I'm sure we'll see ya at the next one, what do you drive?

I'm going to try and make sure we have a run every month, The only problem we're having right now is having people volunteer to lead the groups on a run. So if anyone is Interested in going to an area they know well, and take along a few extras, Please e-mail me, or talk to me at the next meeting (Tuesday). :)

Just not enough Volunteers, No one was saying "me, me, I'll do it", So we're going to try something a Little new. Sunrise trips will be a seperate trip hosted by Rocco now (not saying we can't go there if we don't want to).

I drive an 87 Jimmy S15 with a Solid Axel Swap, I grew up wheeling with my family as a kid, bought my truck when I was 17 wheeled it a bit, but have been a member of H.o.T. for .. hhmmm 3.5 years or something.

[Red Rust Bucket]

[CORC]

if your meaning Pace, i have a gutless Heep...lol
i wont be doing any speeding...lol

but all said, it is a good run, nothing extreme, but still fun...

[DMMcG]

I've got the day free to tag along. Been so long since I've been out, I hope I remember how to put it in 4-wheel drive.....

[raskal]

There was a fire today at "cultus"**. The bombers kept interrupting the airshow to take off/land.

Does anyone know if it was on Vedder and may be a problem for this run?


** The announcer said the fire was at Cultus Lake, however I don't think lakes burn too well, so no idea where it was really.

ya i know what you mean, seriously that scared the hell out of me i had such a adrenelin rush going during that, lol i kinda wanted to bounce off of that tree lmao all though i got to see that anyways haha its all good

[Red Rust Bucket]

Sounds like I missed a good time. I was late getting there, I got there around 11:00am, I guess I dirve to darn slow. I still had fun on the Vedder. It was My first time. I found some nice trails. I Looked for you all, but no luck. I'll make it next time, and I'll get the CB channel from you guys befor I go looking for you. lol

[Bgpmpn]

I believe i saw some of you guys heading back on the Trans Can around 5pm i guess. I was in a lifted black yj heading east into Chilliwack. I was going to come on this trip but hadn't got my full spare and rear tow points yet.

[DMMcG]

Wish I could have had my camera in hand for 3 secs earlier, when Andrea was really off-camber (got a shot, but it's pretty blurred as I was grabbing for the camera and still trying to steer)....this one 'll have to do:

Haha.... great picture Dale. I scared the crap outta Ryan on that one... lol

Great Trip, I'ed love to run it again some time. It was really nice to meet some new faces. I think we had a pretty good turn out (11 trucks), not to big not to small.

I'm still working on the write up (ya i know, i'm taking my sweet time, it's that job thing that's keeping me busy) , If anyone has anything to add, whether info, carnage or pictures, please speak up anything to add would really help me out.
