It had better be good weather...Been working pretty much steady since May long weekend just so I could guarantee the time off for this trip. Me and the kfx ripper will be there rain or shine, Big trailer equals lots of beer drinking :d:d

Did anybody go to Brule this weekend?? The rivers are all flooding around here. Including the Athabasca River which makes up Brule lake. So I wonder how high the water is? I bet it's up the hill a bit on drag hill, and we wont be able to drag there. I went to the smoky river last night and it hasn't been that high since the flooding in 87. Let's see some sunshine for the rest of summer!

Was there July 1,2 and the beach was being encroached by water. that small skinny section of trail on the beach right before drag hill that generally curves around and opens up to that area, was being washed out and you had to hit the water to get by. Threr was a few puddles at drag, but still lots of space to line up.

That roundabout curved section was quad wide, but from the water it was sluffing in. so you had to bypass those sections by entering the lake. Im only talking a a quad width off trail and 6 inches deep. the puddles on the beach at drag hill are more likely from rain.
Hopefully someone will have a newer update.

It will be alot deeper now. I won't ride mine threw there. We will have to find a trail around or Maby camp be hind The Overlander lodge. That way we are on the good side of the dunes.!? Just a thought. Or a chain saw and some 4x4s to clear our own trail.

I think that would be the best bet, there is a bypass started... just terminates though. And that spot needs a bypass.

Quick edit, bud with a 4x4 quad might be coming down. just need a saw.

Is the fire ban still on the go down there? If not ill throw the vp111 powered stihl into the trailer and we can knock down some of those trees and start a fire. Maybe even throw a shovel aboard and see if we can get the water situation at drag hill straightened out.

Can't I have to work and my buddy does too. The way I see it is on Friday you can find a way to drag hill, that way when I get there all the thinking and working will be done. Lol. Also if I come Friday I might be the fastes quad there cause your will be in your trailer again. Lol. I better quit bugging you cause I have been known to break down lot too. C u In a couple days, can't wait to get my drink on.
