Wheeling on Vancouver Island

I would do a weekend meetup too, if it was Nanaimo or North. I have legitimate access to IT property as well, at least on the north island.

 

Well the snow wheeling plan kinda took a shit. I know theres a bit of wet snow up at mt washington but on the hills and FSR's around Nanaimo there's no snow that I know of.

Anyone know of some decent snow on accessible roads on the mid-island?

 

Bump. Any snow anywhere? Been beautiful this past couple weeks. I have worn shorts twice so far. Great for life. Bad for off road snow wheeling.

 

I was up wheeling in Sooke last week on some logging roads and side trails. It was a good time. Not a speck of snow and I was super happy. The snowbank in my yard is now over 8'. Haha

 

It's been awesome here for a couple weeks

 

Yeah, I was there feb 15th-26th. Couldn't believe I was still in Canada. I wore a t-shirt most days, grass was green, loved it. If I could find a job there I would move in an instant. I came home to the east coast and found a good 1-2 feet of snow in the driveway with nice layers of ice throughout so I couldn't snow-blow it. Blah

I know it's been a little nicer than normal February weather but even your worst is better than our best.

 

My sister lives in Berwick and I have been hearing all about it. There was a half ton truck on her road buried in snow above the roof. I haven't even used my heated mirrors once this year. My neighbour woke me up one morning last week with his lawn mower. I miss the snow.

 

I'd miss it too, like my herpes when they aren't inflamed.

 

Hey folks, I'm here in Victoria, anybody going out anytime soon? Let me know, would love to have some fellow members to convoy with!

 

Hey Kevin, I'm in Victoria as well and want to get out more. I have a stock truck, but if you ever just want to go for some FSR/light trails/mud I would be extremely happy to go! Hopefully be getting a lift soon too, so that should help.

 

Isn't everywhere pretty much closed due to the wildfire risk level ?

 

Sounds logical.

 

Yeah a lot of places are closed right now, I may be wrong but I think the fog zone (renfrew area) has been opened back up.

 

Hey guys here visiting from Florida, anybody know of any cool beach areas I can drive on near Vancouver or whistler

 

Can't drive on the beach

 

Damn canada

 

It's mostly to protect the many ecosystems alive on the beach. It's a good thing. I'm happy keeping my truck as far away from salt as I can anyway. These frames don't need any help rusting out.

 

Level 5 fire just east of Lake Cowichan just sprung up last night right near Skuts falls. Suspected to be human caused. That's about 5 minutes up the road from my buddies cabin that has been in his family for two generations.

 

Only a handful of beaches in all Canada that you can actually drive on. It's really bad for the beach. Bad for plants, creatures, and oil spots in the sand ruins a good beach day.

 

Saw the smoke last night
