Greetings all,

The run into Ruby Falls is going ahead.  Sounds like like a bit of snow in the forecast and temps around minus 10c so we should have some sound ice. 

There are are a few changes to the group as follows:

- Abdu & Mike will be leaving Friday and camping in the areas around the staging area/falls.   But they will be meeting us at the staging area Saturday morning about 11am.

- Isaac had the misfortune of losing his engine im his disco so we won't have that vehicle with us.  But Isaac is going to try and snag the passenger seat in Dave Brandson's D90.

- Abdu and Mike both have passenger seats for Bruce and Tanya, who will all meet at the staging area as well.

Isaac, Dave L, Dave B and I will be meeting at Timmies for 7 am as per the original plan and heading down together.

The rest of the game plan is the same😉

NOTE:   If you have one of Lloyd's little radios pls bring them with you.    I will bring the two I have.

Cheers Bill👍

Technical Discussions / Re: AT tires

I was running Cooper discoverer rugged treks for a while, they were great in the Winter, not too noisy as cooper put wall sections in the grooves to cut noise down. I took them all over the place as far as offroad goes, wear was great on them. I was using goodyear dura-tracs for the last year after the coopers wore out, they are definitely louder then the coopers, I couldn't tell any significant difference in wet or snow traction between the two.

Does anyone have Falken Wildpeak AT4 tires on their truck?
If so, how are they in the snow and ice?
Any other recommendations for AT tires for my D2?

Cheers

Hey gang,   

Here are the details for next saturday's trip into the ever popular Ruby Falls:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/cPhdR6Bb2Zt61iPn8

Let's meet up at the Timmies at the 'Currents of Windermere' (mall on SE corner of Henday and Terwilliger drive) for 7am.

From there we'll head to Drayton Valley for the last fuel up and food at the Canco service station/ Timmies on 50st, just north of Hwy 22.   
From start Approx 1.5 hours & 130KM

From Drayton Valley we continue west on Hwy 22 for about a kilometer to the HWY 620 south.  Follow Hwy 620 past Lodgepole approx 17km to the Elk River Road WEST.   Follow the Elk River Road to the Pembina Forks Crossing at the Forestry Trunk Road Hwy 40 (AB-734) & turn south.    
From start Approx 3.25 hours & 251km
 
From Pembina Forks Crossing take the Forestry Trunk Road hwy 40 (AB-734)  south to the Cardinal River Road on hwy40 approx 8km WEST.   Follow Cardinal River Road past the Tall Boys Settlement (SLOW DOWN THROUGH HERE!!!) to the Thistle Creek Road approx 22km and turn SW.   Follow Thistle Creek Road 7km to staging area on north side of road, at the lake.   
From start Approx 3.5 hours & 287km
 
Follow trail east side of Lake North toward Rugy Creek then turn west and follow the trail to the falls.  NOTE:   STEEP Trail off to the north takes you to Ruby Lake is about 2/3's of the way in (approx 13km).
We should make the trail head about 11am or so.  I expect there will be several other groups in there too.
We'll try to make the falls by 4pm before turning around to head home for 9ish.

Suggestions.
- Check your fluids and lube your prop shafts.
- Bring lunch, Drink and snacks to suit your needs.
- Bring chains if you have them.
- Recovery gear.
- Radio- Personal first aid kit
- you may not need them but rubber boots may come in handy.
- Come prepared for -30C....even if you don't need it.

If I've missed any names/contacts I'd appreciate it if you could let me know.
Any Questions......?

cheers, Bill
