Trinituner Diesel Boyz 4th(?) Road Trip of 2009
Destination: Guayaguayare via MorugaHello All,
Sorry for the short notice of the event but here goes:
We will be embarking on yet another Diesel Boyz Road Trip, this time to Guayaguayare.
However, this trip will not be by the usual means. We will be approaching Guayaguayare via Moruga (Edwards Trace) cutting through the Moruga and Guayaguayare Forest Reserve.
The run will end somewhere in Mayaro, by the beach preferably.
Please Note: This is a PROPOSED route, anyone with other suggestions may express them. This route is not final.
Navigators:Seeing that I have NO idea where we going, your navigators for this trip will be
Stuckinmud and
biggy82. Please address all questions of road conditions, 2WD friendly access, estimated times, etc to THEM.
Rationale:If we start from the Moruga side, we can easily spend the afternoon in Mayaro bathing or liming. Makes sense as well to not have night falling on us in the Moruga Forest if we do have an incident.
Return trip:As Mayaro is the last scheduled stop, everyone can make their own way back home, i.e. south folks can take the Nap-May road, central folks: Rio-Tab road (or same south route) and north folks Man-May road. This can be decided on the day, depending on the attendance, etc.
Issues:I cant make much comment here except that to please walk prepared with all the usual requirements for a safe and enjoyable journey. Remember this is a very remote area. Possibly the most remote in all of Trinidad.
Keep in mind:
-Food & snacks, water, etc.
-Make sure your vehicle is prepped to make the trip - full on diesel, water, etc.
-Recovery equipment - ropes, tow lines, (winch?)
... compressors, jumper cables, tools, etc etc...
-Personal comfort - extra clothing, music, cameras etc.
Safety and Security:We should all stick together, as usual, given the unknown area. Remember also, because of the remote area, communication via mobile phones may be a problem. Seek further advice from your Navigators!
Proposed Dates:
The following dates are being considered:
27th Sept

Remember: ALL are WELCOMED!!!
