"accidently" dropped a 80 foot fir into our fire once.....:lol: just got back from our abbreviated holidays, was'nt quite what i was hoping for, but i'll take any day that's not at work....and we had zero problems, nothing with the truck, quads, or boat, just mega-bugs! really enjoyed going to Mehatl Creek last yr, so for once we did a repeat, but we went in further this time, very remote area, saw nobody or anything except for a floatplane, which i'll come back to later.

like i said, had some weird things happen. while i was off dicking around on my quad, my wife had a visitor at our campsite. a floatplane came down and landed right in front of her and my son. she could'nt take any pictures, cause i had the camera, but she did have her old sony handycam and made a vid of him taking off and leaving. as her sony is at least 7 yrs old (vids on there i had never seen, from 7 yrs ago...lol) we have to figure out how to get it on the computer first, then i can show it
why did he land? was going around the backcountry warning everyone to clear out because of a forest fire. with only one way in and one way out, we took his advice and headed out. started getting smoky, puts a little fire (bad pun...) in your rear when you start smelling it too clearing outta there Attachment 1675251Attachment 1675252Attachment 1675253Attachment 1675254Attachment 1675255 |

and one last weird thing...
just out of Hope BC we were tooling down the old no. 1 highway, (50 mph) when we were startled by a train horn. the world famous Rocky Mountaineer train pulled right up beside us and started tooting his horn and waving at us (usually it's the other way around...lol) i slowed down a little bit so the kid could get us some pics, did ok on the engines, but that was it, none of the coach pics turned out good. as we were working our way up and down the train, prob 300 people were gawking at us and taking pictures...

getting harder to find the trail. also cant seem to find the trail to Kokwaskey Falls, where the river leaves Kokwaskey lake. doesnt look like too many people make it up this way anymore...everything is overgrown and reverting back to nature.
