What A Winter, Will It Never End?
Hi Everyone, Jeep Mom here,
I do apologize for not putting in an article for so long. I have had total brain block and couldn’t get motivated to write. You COORJC members have given me some ideas lately.
With the severity and length of this winter, many of us are getting antsy for Spring and the need to get out on the trails. I’m seeing many great posts of builds, new mods, reinforcing older mods , and just getting the jeeps ready to go, come May 1/19. All these posts have made me excited to get out there, even though I’m looking at my poor girl covered in a foot of snow. Yes, we have a lot of snow still up here in the Kawarthas and Haliburton, so that means wet trails come Spring.
When May 1 hits, please keep in mind about these wet conditions. A late spring may warrant a delay in season opening. We have had some pretty heavy wind storms up here as well, so make sure that you have chain saws and axes. I’m not trying to be a Debbie downer here, because I also can’t wait to get out there with my new snorkel. Please Tread Lightly!
What you can do is to go to Ray’s Place in Minden and hopefully meet up with Todd Folks, Solo Jeeper, who will help you check out your new equipment and also give you lots of great advice in wheeling in this wet Spring. You could make it a family affair and book a room at Ray’s motel. You don’t even have to wait for Spring!
Our Spring Rookie Run is on June 8/19, and I hope some of our members new to the off-roading life, will join up. It’s a great way to learn about your rig with awesome people, who will help you all the way along.
Hopefully, we can get a couple of trail runs in before that even if they are part of trail clean up days. They are always fun. Also, I know Mark and the COORJC Board have lots of great things planned for this season.
Well keep up the enthusiasm everyone, March 20th is the first day of Spring, not too far off.
Cheers,
Lynda Darling, Jeep Mom.
