A Canadian Hillbilly and his travels

Group shot

 

This spot is such a beautiful place. Come through the narrows, and it just opens right up.

 

It was cool to be out, with temps at about 15-18c. Nice and warm, with 6-8” of fresh snow on the trail.

 

Hayden pushing the squirrels again

 

And while blasting down the trail, I caught a rock, punching two holes into the sidewall of my tire. Dammit. Hayden hit the same rock. But only punched one hole in his.

 

We made the last crossing, and we headed for home. All in all, a really good trail day!

 

Back in to ruby, my truck is in pieces in the garage. I’ll throw some of the best of’s up.

 

One of my favourite sequences of the trip. The ice is giving way, leaving a ramp in and out of a crossing. Hayden dropped in, and pulled the rear passenger tire off the ground, then crawled out. Or rather, crawled a ways up, then gave’r the gusto to pop out!

 

Devin, with his short jeep, was having no part of it, and took a little bit longer, but less tippy of a run thru the narrows

 

The falls were melting out nicely.

 

On the way out, we found some crack

 

Devin had a hit of it too!

 

Finally!! Finally made it out!! The crawl boxes are in, headers are in, and need some love, but it works so damn good!!

 

Met up with my usual crew of malcontents! The voodoo blue is the same truck as last year, when it was a dark blue, but with a 2rz 4 cyl in place of the 3vz V6 the truck came with. The 2nd Gen pickup is the same as last year, minus a turbo on the pokey 2L diesel. And the grey truck is a 1uz swapped sas rig. Man, does the V8 sound amazing!

 

Ryan’s truck is a little worse for wear this year!

 

And Codey has my old 3.4 in his 85 now.

 

And yours truly

A shot as we climbed and climbed switchbacks.
