A Canadian Hillbilly and his travels

Leaving camp, and headed back to civilization.

 

We hit town, grabbed some fuel, food, and beer, and headed up high country again, for the last night.

 

Definitely one of my favourite little creek crossings out here. The bank keeps on washing away. Another abandoned mining trail.

 

That's beautiful. Fantastic views.

 

Can't wait to move out that way, eventually. Love the Okanagan, but those are real mountains

 

Yea, it’s pretty amazing out this way! I do want to get more into the west koots this year tho. There’s a lot out that way I want to see!

 

Made our way to the lower bowl. We did encounter some traffic on our way up. Thankfully in a spot we could work around each other.

 

This is an old mine site. Seems operations stopped here in the late 60’s to early 70’s.

 

This hanging valley is one of my favourite places.

 

The porcupines have enjoyed the wood of the biffy over the years. Makes for a nice breeze!

 

One of the old mine shafts

 

It was a +32c day, so the shadows as the sun set were welcome.

 

Moon rise was amazing!!

 

And so ended another weekend of wheeling. Homeward bound once we descended back to civilization.

 

Next trip was southward bound, headed to meet up with my Hosmer crew and try for some high country

 

This is a trail that I’ve been teased with for several years, so it was awesome to get to it. And even better than I’d hoped for!

 

The rocks thru the lower areas of the trail were unreal!

 

Definitely tight thru here. And some of the last pictures of the ol’ girl with a dent free passenger side!!

 

Hayden, followed by yours truly.
