The Jeep Trail 2014

[DaveB]

The next Rover-Landers Run is coming up on the Aug. 9th weekend.
Get ready... it's Jeep Trail time!!

The Jeep Trail together with the Cooke Creek Trail is a 1-Day Run through spectacular scenery high up in Hunter’s Range in the North Okanagan / Shuswap to 7000+ feet. The views and scenery are spectacular!
This will be the 3rd annual Run on these trails.
The trails are similar to the legendary Whipsaw Trail down by Princeton, only shorter in length.
It is a thru & thru trail set up like a really big horseshoe. On a good day about 5-6 hrs and on a bad day, obviously longer.
Expect any and all trail conditions.
Trail rating: moderate to hard

This event is family and dog friendly.
Bring bug spray, lunch, water, camera and always watch your kids & dogs for possible bears in the area.

What an amazing adventure... Thanks so much to the organizers, Pamela and Dave!

The trail was full of all sorts of technical trials and we had to be at the top of our game to make it through... And it didn't end there... But I'm not going to steal anyone's campfire thunder :) let's just say that some quick thinking was needed at several points... Unexpected events made this more than a trail run and due to the members resourcefulness we all made it out in one piece!

To those that didn't make it... You missed out on the type of run that legends are made of lol...

Thanks again...

Btw as always I'm looking forward to seeing some of the video and pics from the event...

You're right. This one was legend. :D :D :D I don't know who's doing the write up, but it should be a good one.

Thanks again to the Blair's for being the perfect hosts/leaders. :mi5:
