So i know that this is really really early to start getting ready for a summer meet but I don't want to run in to the same problems like we did this past December when we had the meet in Orillia with guys not being able to get time off work, could not afford it so on and so forth. So hopefully this will give guys more then enough time to plan and save up for the trip. So here is what I am thinking.

I was thinking we could do a camping/trail ride weekend. There is only 2 off road parks that I know of in Ontario, the first is the Ganeraska forest, which is located 1 hr east of Toronto , and about 30 min north of port hope, and costs about 45 for a weekend pass. But the trails we could do most of them in a afternoon. And then ther is the VMUTS. ( Voyageur Multi-Use Trail System. ) Now I will let you guys know right off the bat this is not a stock friendly trial system. So no 2wd. If you have a quad and want to bring it on to the trails you are more then welcome.This trail system is huge over 200 km of trail. Ranging from rough logging roads to rock cuts, wash outs, mud holes, you name it, the VMUTS has it. Plus there is a few different camping sites threw out the park. I have been threw this trail system both with my sled in the winter and on my quad in the spring and late fall. And these trails are awesome. Only down side is tho is that it is in Mattawa, Ontario. which is at the north eastern most part of Algonquin park. Here is a map of the trail system, it is not the best but it will give you a idea of how big it is. VMUTS Trail Map.

So here is what I am thinking. We leave on a friday night and head to Mattawa. Crash at the hotel in town and then get a early start on the trails the following Saturday morning. Camp out Saturday night in the Vmuts and then Sunday we could eather do some more wheeling and then stay a night in the hotel again, Or do some light wheeling and then head home Sunday night. Trail pass is 12 bucks a day, Let me know what you guys think. I know Pawel ( Lumpy4000 ) said he is game. So post what you guys thinking. As for dates for this. I was thinking end of July early August. Mainly because I am in New Brunswick and that is when I will be back in Ontario for summer vacation.


Also I have a buddy who lives in Mattawa who says he will be more then willing to be our trail guide. As long as he is not overseas.

what about lifted 2wds? haha

 

can you be more specific

not stock friendly?

not stock 2wd height friendly?

 

Meaning u have to have a lift

 

If you have a lifted 2wd you will be good. But i did not think anyone would lift a 2wd truck.

When I say not stock friendly I mean none stock hight friendly. So if you are 2wd and are lifted then you will be ok. You will still have a hard time in some spots but you should be ok for the most part.

 

there alot of lifted 2wd's on the forum i believe... and thats why god made a tow strap for the guys that cant afford 4x4's :D lmfao

 

Ok how about this then. If you are stock hight you will not make it any. LOL. But seriously there is alot of long hills. So 4wd is a definite bonus if you want to come.

 

long hills or steep hills? or both haha

 

Both. Trust me you guys will see what i mean.

 

if i gots a wheeler by then i will be down

 

Just remember Derek, if you bring your quad, you half to pack your camping equipment, food, cloths. water, and some fuel just in case. unless you are going to crash at the hotel every night.

 

nah ill sleep under the stars all i need is my beer lol

 

Ok man what ever you say...lol

 

I'm game! except hopefully by this time i'll be coming in a Jeep 4 door not a ranger yay for 4x4 just going to have to find out a more for sure date cos I'm pretty sure i will be camping the last week of july. but i might be just finishing by the weekend.

 

I should be able to make this. And if I was able to go into the Rausch Creek trails in PA I think I can handle these lol I'll be bringing my recovery straps, winch and all that jazz

 

if i was able to get stuck with my truck for the winter meet i thing i can do the summer meet in my truck lol

 

I know i am going to sound like a *** Derek but you will not be able to go anywhere in your truck. If you are lifted then you will still have a hard time, but you will be able to go places. but stock will get you no were.


Sorry just telling you how it is man. These trails are really tough and tricky in spots.

 

im interested in coming for some fun, i have a 3 inch body lift and 33's on my 4x4, it is lifted but the undercarriage isnt that much higher, what do you guys think?

 

It's better then mine lol You shouldn't have a problem

 

It will be tight but you will be ok

 

Chris (reader not laz lol), what's the height at the top of your wheel wells?

 

I have no clue to tell you the truth, why

 

Just to compare to mine see how I'll do out there

 

well what do you have for lift.If you have schakels t-bar crank, with 33s. you will be fine.

 

Prekeys, Preblock, Maxed Bars, AAL and 32's. front wheel well is at 36" iirc
