The ground has dried so we can 'Leave the pavement behind', next Sunday morning, June 7th.
A great opportunity for learning to take your Hummer through obstacles of varying degrees of difficulty.
We visit an open 'playground' areas with a variety of terrain.
Because of the layout, there are no obstacles which must be overcome to get through.
All are entirely optional.
Experienced off-road drivers will be pleased to share their knowledge with you.
A good morning of fun with negligible chance of damage.
Meet some other Hummer owners, and learn to off-road your vehicle.
With challenges for all.
We will meet at 9:15 am, and leave at 9:30 am.
Come earlier if you are planning on having breakfast there.
We should be finished by early afternoon.
Take 401 to the Guelph Line Road exit (west of Toronto).
Exit southbound.
The second street below the 401 is Crawford Crescent.
Turn right and proceed to 33 Crawford Crescent, where the Bruce Trail Eatery is located.
As usual, bring food and water or other (non-alcoholic) liquids and
an FRS radio (available inexpensively at Canadian Tire, Wal-Mart, and most similar stores).
We will use channel 4 to communicate.

Should we bring magnets and fishing gear to go fishing for the dreaded plate fish.

Sounds great. I'll try to be there. Have to check out what's up for the weekend and make some arrangements, but it looks good so far. I'll confirm more later. Is it OK to bring my little Hummer Lover son with me???

Sure, but don't let him drive.
