We usually meet in bobcaygeon around 9ish and on the trail by 10. I would not recommend this trail for a non lifted jk. Its very rocky with some good ledges. Im sure its doable but not without some damage . For those coming via the 401 we usually have a convoy heading up from Bowmanville leaving around 7:45 ish i think.

Guys this would actually be my first wheeling trip. Be honest would this be a good one to cut my teeth on? I'm up for anything but don't want to slow you guys down if I do come up!

Guys with your amount of lift have been through the trail with 33" tires and no lockers. I see you have a rubi with stock tires so your skids will get a workout and maybe your sliders. If that doesnt bother you and your up for it then why not. Where would you be coming from ?

I ran this trail stock last summer. No worries there are bypasses for most major obstacles. I can't make it though :( Thats the weekend of the Hip concert in Bob. So I will be going to that. We might do a small run on concession on the sunday after the concert though. depends on how we are feeling Have fun guys!

Okay boys, looks like I'm in. Let's firm up when and where. In total there are two jeeps coming and 4 people, mine and an older lifted TJ.

We will be coming up Friday night and staying over so any recommendations as to accommodations within the area would be appreciated.

Ok sounds good. Just be at the Tims in Bobcaygeon about 9:00am. Its a small town so you can't miss it. Not really sure about accommodations in that area. Maybe do a search im sure thier are some small motels in the area

Jenna mentioned about a concert in bob that weekend so it might be tough to get a motel that weekend there. Peterborough might be a good option or we have a convoy leaving bowmanville from the Howard Johnson. It about a hour and fifteen drive from the hojo

Biggy,

What time would you guys leave Bowmanville and which way would you be going the 35/115?

We could always grab a hotel in Lindsay on the 35 and just hook up when you went by.

Also I do not have a CB but have the 4 FRS radios. Would this be an issue?

Scott

Cb is nice to have but not required. You should think about getting one though. I let Bruce aka 2summer chime in in the other. He leads the convoy up the 115 and i join in further on
