| Waiparous is an OHV area outside of Calgary Canada,
and is the site for the 1st Annual Rocky Mountain River Shiver. I was
in Calgary and the awesome folks at RMLCA put on a run in my honor - West
Coast Cruisers Classic, which was also the pre-run for RMRS 2005. We
had about 8 or 9 Cruisers, one Mini, and One Mitsubishi Jeep (from Japan, very cool).
The condition were not ideal I was told, the ice was not hard enough and
there was not enough of it so there was some carnage as a few truck fell
through the thin ice (river was only a foot or so deep). We did the
river and some hills, and even one hill that I am told not many people go
up. I had a BJ74 with cable lockers so I was all over any hill I could
find and did very nicely, especially since the suspension was stock and I
only had 31" tires on it. Very much the opposite of Peter's truck with
52" military tires on his 60 series - that truck is just sick ;) This
was an awesome opportunity for my and everyone that went on the run was
really great, you guys & girls in Calgary are great people :) I really need
to thank Wayne Smith who made this whole trip possible for me. Wayne
and his Wife Bernie are extremely gracious hosts. Thanks Wayne and
Bernie |
