A Canadian Hillbilly and his travels

Ryan’s 88

 

My prerunner.

 

Clinton, aka Dirt Garage, on YouTube and IG.

 

We climbed several hundred metres, up switchbacks, still following the power line, as we headed for camp.

 

We passed thru an abandoned mine, and the tailings pile.

 

Caught a beauty of a sunset.

 

We headed up a forestry service road that’s seen better days.

 

You can see the bridge foundations left from when they pulled it out.

 

Hayden rolling towards camp

 

A section of the trail was a little beat from a flood in the spring

 

We found another section of fsr that was washed out by previous seasons floods.

 

We set up camp, and the next morning we carried on along the trail.

 

As we were rolling along, Hayden stopped me. I’d lost the rear bolts holding my skid plate to the gas tank. Luckily, he had spares, so we got them in, and secured the tank again.

 

Great pictures! Awesome country!

 

This cedar overhangs the trail. It is massive. Not going to lie, driving under it is a bit intimidating when you realize the sheer size of it, and wonder at the fact that it’s still hanging out like this. How many centuries did it take to grow this large? How many more years til it lets go, and takes the road with it? The road was originally cut in the 10’s-20’s from what we can find on maps, so you know the loggers pre world war 1 looked at it!

 

Tough to get it in perspective.

 

We hit the end of the trail. The washout is significant. We are planning to come back next year, and work at this, to try to get thru.

 

Got ourselves turned around, amd headed out again.

 

Couple more shots of the big cedar.
