Re: post up your camping pics
 

woke up this mornin', dawg seemed more depressed than usual. he's been like that since Dixie-lou passed away, then 3 months ago, the wife's rat dog Spike died, so Diesel is on his own now...so i skipped work today and took dawg up to the Nahatlatch fire lookout. i needed to get out just as much as he does...:lol:
first time seen this kicking around, had to turn around and look again...
Attachment 1593093Attachment 1593094

the usual, Hunter creek pit stop for dawg. that 28 days of rain last month did a number on the local creeks. Hunter came up high enough to lift this picnic table (guessin'4-500 lbs, it's concrete) off it's base and relocate it about 50 feet into the forest

Re: post up your camping pics
 

How recent are these pics? Any snow there yet? If I remember you are just north of me in BC. This has been a very mild starting winter out west. Last year at this time I was half way to my knees in snow logging and 30 below. November was the coldest month of the winter here.

Re: post up your camping pics
 

welp, been putting some big miles on the stepper this week.
went up to my dad's place in Falkland, 'bout 250 miles each way, a 3 to 3 1/2 drive by hiway....but i hate the highway- too boring. i take a shortcut threw Douglas lake ranch, 'bout 40 miles shorter each way, but takes longer- around 5 hrs. not because it's a knarly rd, but because it has MAJOR washboard 90% of the way. even with IFS i was 1st or 2nd gear all the way, any faster and the truck would start skittering sideways. desolate place, dont really want to break down there...
went to help my dad work on his retirement home, mite need this to move material (heh heh...)
Attachment 1593765

just as i was leaving, a storm rolled in. got a one in a million shot, a flash of lightning, threw the truck window, as i'm driving...ta-daaa

Re: post up your camping pics
