went up to Nahatlatch valley.
the usual, dawg pit stop at hunter creek Attachment 1544247Attachment 1544248 Yale, a small town at the head of the Fraser Canyon, this was as far as the paddlewheelers could go up the river. a few miles left of the orig. Cariboo Wagon road, pioneers & prospecters trudged down this same path over 150 yrs ago, & when the Fraser river was high, there's a trail at the top of this mountain they climbed over Attachment 1544249Attachment 1544250 this stretch of the Fraser yielded hundreds of millions of dollars in gold Attachment 1544251 |

this unassuming bar, which is covered by high water right now, coughed up approx 40 million in gold

the Nahatlatch river starts up in the mountains in a 60 mile valley, then flows into 3 lakes, then becomes a river again near the bottom of the valley. here the river is about 50-60 feet below the bridge at the bottom
Attachment 1544280 then the river climbs up to the road Attachment 1544281 where it hits the first lake, Frances. Attachment 1544282Attachment 1544283 and dawg swimming in Frances lake Attachment 1544284 |

Re: post up your camping pics
Nice as always Dawg!
Here are a few pictures from our Desert Trip 2016. I hope to write a trip report when I get some time… Overview… https://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7757/2...46e8eb34_c.jpg Headed to Kelly Point in the Arizona Strip…. The trail is well over 160 miles from the highway to Kelly Point but the last 30 miles is a rough ride and very THICK with overgrown. It was crazy. I had to breakdown and buy a new buffer when I got home. We got home on June 18th and the K10 still hasn't been cleaned yet but the Burb is all cleaned up. Life and work has just been crazy busy. Seems like I don't have time to do chit anymore :ito: https://c3.staticflickr.com/8/7413/2...58770e47_c.jpg That heavily overgrown road takes you to this beautiful spot! We didn't see a sole for a few days. It was great! https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7426/2...1d3bb364_c.jpg https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7528/2...063cfb1b_c.jpg Somewhere North of Page off some trail that leads down to Lake Powell. This was later in the trip as we started migrating back to Colorado https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7539/2...52096e75_c.jpg Tons more pics once I get time for a trip report |
Re: post up your camping pics
Check out these scratches.. The K10 has taken a beating before but not quite this bad. The Burb having single stage paint was actually worse but the white color hid it well.
https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7390/2...b8884646_c.jpg My new friends….. within 3 hours the Polar Bear burb was looking better than it ever has since I’ve owned it. I’m confident the K10 will shine back up as well plus that Quasar Blue hides scratches very well. We laid a lot of clear on it back in 1998 when it was painted for this very reason. Oh, and the K10 needs a new grill. It got broke to bits but I was able to ziptie it back together to look halfway presentable https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7309/2...59d871f1_c.jpg |
Re: post up your camping pics
can't wait to see your trip report DirtyLarry!

Re: post up your camping pics
Did the same to the 2000 Suburban a couple weeks ago, along with getting all kinds of brush debris in the vehicle. The weather was way to nice to have the windows up! I'll post a picture later.

my son was with grandpa today, so me & wifey (and of course dawg ) went scouting for a camping spot for holidays next month. we headed out to Mehatl creek, up beside the Nahatlatch valley, couple hundred miles away.
you have to pass threw part of the Nahatlatch to get there. the far end of nahatlatch lake, a huge rock hanging over the cliff, makes for nice pictures.. Attachment 1553304Attachment 1553305Attachment 1553306Attachment 1553307Attachment 1553308 |

i think we may have found a camping spot for next month, crappy road down to it, will probably have to do a bit of rock stacking to get the quad hauler down there, & the hardest part will be getting 40 feet of truck & trailer threw 2 real sharp switchbacks. will definitely be putting this place on the short list...
Attachment 1553324Attachment 1553325Attachment 1553326 made a quick run to the lower Mehatl falls, the upper ones are very spectacular, but it's a couple hr hike & don't have the time...and that water is C-O-L-D, comes down from the Mehatl glacier Attachment 1553328 |
