We will be doing Phinney Mountain Road and Chute Road. These are fun scenic trails any Jeep can do, though the mud holes at the start of Chute are fairly deep. Doesn't mean a stock Jeep wont get through, but will get very dirty and possibly need a tug!
Meet at Bridgetown Tim's/Esso for a 11 am departure time, Wednesday, July 1st.
BBQ to follow the run at Valley View park. We will be providing burgers and hot dogs, if you would like to bring anything else please do.
We will have a meeting at the bbq to get our elections done. All executive positions are up for election. President, Secretary, Trail Master 2 for one year, Vice President, Treasurer, Trail Master 1, Membership Coordinator for 2 years. Post nominations here or if you are interested in a position and can't make it.
If you can't make the run but would like to come to BBQ/meeting, we will post here and facebook when we are coming back over Chute, should be mid afternoon, bbq late afternoon.
Everyone welcome, hope to see you there to celebrate Canada Day!

I've had a couple of queries, so for any who may be interested, I will have Membership Application forms with me. See you there, it's going to be a good one. The weather forecast is perfect for a trail run with no rain until the evening, BUT...in case it does rain... Giv'r.  |

I won't be making it to the run, but will meet up with folks at the BBQ and meeting. I will also be accepting membership dues from anyone who has outstanding dues or anyone who may be voted in at the meeting.
someone call or txt me (824-2066) when you make it to the park, that's all I ask, so I know when to come up. I'm only 10 minutes away.

Larry, I think Steph also got utensils, maybe plates too. I just got back from picking up the sausages(local) and ground beef (also local).
Gonna be a hell of a feast.

You have to admit that living in rural NS has some bonuses that aren't that common in a city. Hats off to Stephanie (and Dan) for providing our gourmet food at the BBQ tomorrow. And a HUGE thank you to Ralph and Jennifer D'Aubin of D'Aubin's Family Meats, Bridgetown for donating all the sausage and burger for our Canada Day BBQ. I'm getting hungry just thinking about this.  |

What a fantastic Canada Day run we had today!!! Beautiful day to meet old friends and make a few new ones! This is one of the best runs we've had in recent memory...and we only lost one out of 20 or so Jeeps! Thanks to everyone who came out to make this a memorable day. Special thanks to Dean and Peter who jumped in and spent part of the day winching people through the mess I started at the bottom of Phinney Mountain (and for getting me out at the start...thank you Peter).
HUGE thanks to the folks at D'Aubin Meats in Bridgetown for providing the BBQ fare.
Thanks to Dave for hosting the feast after the run, and especially to Dan and Stephanie for preparing all the food...the salads, BBQ, and a beautiful (and tasty!) Canada Day cake (I hope someone got a picture of that)...that was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!!!
Hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did! Hope to meet you all on the trails again soon!
