Water is still cold......

[IMSICK]

here is my hillbilly weekend........

YES....... there is a complete Can-Am Renegade attached to those handlebars. It was cold in the water, a winch to pull out, pulled plugs, dropped water level in crank to full mark, put the plugs back in and it ran 5kms of trails and 8kms of road back to camp without missing a beat....... never even spit out a code!!!!!

at the washout across the road to red deer falls, take a right. go up there about 1/4 km and there are clearings there. Right behind where the trailer are is a really nice little stream. Quick moving and friggin cold too..... Came in empty and filled the fresh tanks out of the stream.

From there I managed to put on 120kms of trails to the red deer falls and back on day 1, then 80kms of trails and roads to the wapiti river (which lured me in) on day 2 and then another 80kms alonf the red deer on day 3...... day 3 it ran perfect after the drowning!!!!

In case anybody is wondering....... Onion Lake is not yet accessable with a quad. You hit a wall of snow about 1 km up the trail and got deeper as I chewed through it further up the trail.


Steve..... Carry replacement oil. It is the only water invasion I got. Diffs are clean and never took on any water into the fuel tank. Seat weight about 50 pounds after, but drains well when you stand it on end for a while.

Takes about 5 minutes with a 13mm wrench to drop and replace the oil...... mine came out white.

 

[steveo10]

yes we always carry about 8litres of oil... because there is one or two quads that have to go into emergency. as least the diffs didnt take on my H20

from chet, would be about 200k ballpark...

45k to the ojay, 25k to the 2500 turn-off and then about another 17k i think.

How long a run is it into Onion lake from the road?

 

[mavrick]

If I remeber right I belive it was about 50 miles round trip from the campsite to onion lake and back it was a lond ride we were about 17 hours mind u we had two break downs,almost sided in the bush for the night we went in perpered to stay if needed
