Alberta September Run

My god... they are still working on my truck right now!!!!

[Mike_Luchia]

Looks like Me, my Wife, Daughter and Granddaughter are good to go. My second Daughter and her Boyfriend with the Jeep are not able to make it. I'm hoping there are lots of medium trails. With my Granddaughter along I don't know that I will be getting too serious yet (She's 11 months old but loves Grandpa's Hummer <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... traetz.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':love:' />)and I'm still pretty much a virgin at off roading too.



See everyone in the morning.

Not to worry Mike, top priority is our safety and fun second. Everyone gets home with a smile and nothing else! Especially with a little one with you, safety first!



I hope Karl got his truck fixed? Haven't heard from him in a day or two!



Can't wait for tomorrow... Gonna be a blast!

Yup - I spoke with him today and his truck's good to go..... Cost him an arm and half a leg as the warranty said "no" so he's going to fight it.. I would! I picked up his beer for him so that should help with the pain...



Mike: Don't worry, we go on these trail rides now more for fun with safety first, there will be places where we stop and try out some more difficult things but it's only if you want to..... half the fun is watching in my opinion!



See y'all in the morning!!!

AWESOME RUN!!!!



Had a wicked time, nice to meet all the new people that came out!





Of course when I stopped in Cochrane for a coffee on the way home I realized the truck was belching oil.... and as I pulled into my driveway it felt like my steering was binding up and I heard a loud bang. Not sure what that was... looks like it is going back to GM again this week <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ngHead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':banghead:' />

Had a blast and we all made it home safe and sound.... although from what I just read.... sounds like Sugar just made it.... So what's happening now? It ran like a peach while we were out there??!!??



Running through the "puddle" at the end of the day definitely helps..... $15 bucks at the wand wash, 3 hours driveway, and then one file touchless wash as she's sparkling again!



Sorry JL if I freaked you out a bit on our little "run"..... went a bit off course there...



Thanks to everyone that came out - I know we didn;t make it to the falls but we had alot of fun along the way! I did get a laugh out of listening to Karl on the radio... "is the Ranger still stuck???"



Nick: Let me know if you need anything!

All of us had a great time as well. Loral especially enjoyed when she got to drive on the way back. We took a lot of pictures of everybody else but never got many of our own truck. If anybody that was taking pictures have any of the limited about of stuff I tried (<img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... lleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />), would you please post them somewhere or email them to me at mluchia@telus.net. I'm having a hard time convincing people that I actually tried some stuff lol.

I'll go through my pictures and see what I have... didn;t get too many but hopefully there's a few there....



I hope you had fun, didn't go exactly as planned but I still had a blast. Nice break from the city!!!



Each time you come, it's fun try try something new and get a little braver.... takes awhile....

[Sugarphreak]

So, although we didn't make it to the falls this time, statistically our odds have increased for next time; we now have a 33% chance of making it to the falls next time... <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... SMILEY.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />





I should really give my brother a call and see how his Ranger is holding up, lol.

Good times!! Haha, I actually let out a yell of terror... My motto is if it doesn't get the heart pumping it can't be much fun, thanks for the rip around!!



Thanks for a great time everyone, had a blast as always!!



Definitely washed out another pulley though, just squeaking away... But when the repair costs less than the car wash you're doing alright! We don't typically take too many pictures (no idea why?!) but if we've got any of you Mike I will be sure to pass them along, it was a pleasure meeting you and your family!
