A Canadian Hillbilly and his travels

Would love to have see some pics of the carnage on those two wheels haha

 

I’ll dig them out!

 

Finally done, and on the trail again! I’ll get the rest of the trip up shortly.

 

I’ll try to get the rest of this trip up this week. Power steering pump bit the bullet, so been trying to get that changed out so I can wheel next weekend.

 

I’ve gotta check Kev’s or Vill’s pic, see if the wheels are there, @SR-71A

 

Hi, Mike. I enjoyed your pictures & stories. Thanks for going to the effort of posting them. Nice country down your way. I have to observe that the reason God made quads is so that we wouldn't have to beat the living shit out of our pickups getting into the back country. Cheers!

 

I detest quads! If I’m going to use something smaller to access, it’s an old XR250R, around 83-86. Quads tend to tip way more easily than I want!!

And thanks for the comment! I’m glad you enjoy the pics. Got a couple more to get posted here

 

More exploring out fernie way this weekend.

 

Shakedown trip, which coincided with the season opening of north fork to race horse pass went very well! One slight issue, I lost my power steering, but put on 760ish km’s.

 

Glad I finally got the sliders installed.

 

First trip in the bag. And awesome.

 

Next trip was out Fernie way, to run the power line trail with the boys.

 

There’s some seriously spectacular views along the power line right of way

 

And some nasty, overgrown, mud sections too

 

This stretch got to the point where the last couple trucks thru needed to pull out the winch line. The clay got greasy, and impossible to go anywhere in.

 

I hate mud. Just saying.

 

Soon enough, we got the group thru the mud. 3-1/2 hours to do 500m. Ugh.

I hate mud.

 

Carried on, along the power line. This is more my speed. Creek crossings with a nice rock bottom!

 

Yep. Nice, clear, rock bottom crossings.

 

Found a bit of a deeper spot.
