Lost Creek/Kenyon Lake Newbie/Maintenance Run
July 21 @ 9:30 AM - 4:30 PM PDT
Formerly the Kenyon Lake Maintenance Run – Now the Sylvester Road Newbie Run. This is still stock and newbie friendly but some clearance and 4WD with low range is required.
We welcome those who enjoy using their four-wheel-drive vehicle to explore and discover beautiful places. If you have no experience driving your 4×4 ‘ off-road’ in difficult or rough terrain and want to gain knowledge and experience in a friendly, knowledgeable, and safe environment, this is the event for you. We always welcome experienced drivers who want a relaxed day and the opportunity to help novice wheelers.
There is a choice of five destinations during this run, and we can do any three of them, time permitting. The “warm-up challenge,” Salsbury Lake, Tank Trap, The Grotto, and Kenyon Lake. If we have a large number of rigs turn out, then we may possibly split into two groups and do things in a different order.
FROM THE RUN LEADER:
This run is for novices and will feature some basic challenges. A proper four-wheel-drive vehicle with reasonable ground clearance and a willingness to learn new things is all that is required.
We recommend that you have the following:
– Suitable tires, with good tread
– Spare and jack for your vehicle
– Tire gauge, compressor, and plug kit
– Common sense
– and most importantly, bring a good attitude
This is a family-friendly, drug- and alcohol-free event.
Meetup is at 9:30 am at the Husky at Lougheed Hwy. and Sylvester Rd. just east of Mission with a departure time of 10:00 am sharp to head to the air-down area. You can expect the group to return to the Husky by about 5:00 pm, although participants can always leave early if they need to, just make sure one of your run leaders knows you’re going.
