Whipsaw Trail BC, July 2011

rickashay · Jul 26, 2011

Well I just got home from the CT4WD official trail run on the legendary Whipsaw Trail. It was everything more than I expected it to be and more. Due to the large amounts of snow still remaining, the trail proved challenging for all of the group, even the solid axle guys with 35+ tires. We are officially the first group of 4x4 trucks to punch through this year. To give you an idea of the difficulty; in the first 2 days, driving 12 hours a day, we traveled a total distance of 20kms. It was an awesome experience despite a few minor setbacks including my alternator crapping out on the first day and one truck getting hydro-locked and having to be towed out by 2 other rigs. The group of great people really pulled together to accomplish what many said we could not due to the snow.... enough words, time for photos!
