Re: post up your camping pics
Thanks Dieseldawg142. Yes the country side is beautiful, especially when it stops raining or snowing and the sun pokes through. Lots of good fishing if you are into that sport. Those lakes you refered to i'am not fimilair with. Not from around these parts, but my wife is. Been here now for 4 years. Still lots to see and explore. Hoping to get out camping more and exploring some trails.

with that truck it won't be hard! that a stick or auto? yeah, you guys sure get your quota of rain & then some, remember an old guy at dease lk telling me they have 9 months of winter & 3 mos of sh.tty sleddin'. |
Re: post up your camping pics
also like the color of your truck, almost the same as mine, woodland green,or as everyone else calls it- park ranger green

The truck has a TH400 with shift kit. Dease lake is about another 6 hour drive from kitimat. This year so far winter has been mild. Snow has been disappearing fast and we have our fair share of rain too which is helping with snow removal. |

with summer just around the corner, time for a thread resurrection! first trip out this year. with the river hi & the snow low, hard to get some good riding in, but the weather was stellar (mid to upper 80's)
heading in to one of our fav. spots Attachment 1103230 rain has wrecked the road, a little bit of off-camber Attachment 1103236 left the trailer up the hill, truck really is in there somewhere Attachment 1103254 nice little spot, creek right beside us Attachment 1103273 riding where we can Attachment 1103274 |

Re: post up your camping pics
yeah, dieseldawg is the black one. some days he thinks he's superdawg, leap creeks in a single bound, climb mountains. he got a little cocky on the mountain, mis-stepped & i had to grab him by the scruff. my brown cow is a cranky girl (dixie), heck, some days she's so grinchy, she doesn't even like herself!

back in the early 90's, we took my '68 910 custom cab on a 2500 mile trip up to boya lake (yukon border), pulling our restored '71 McCloud Hiawatha tent trailer. 383 never missed a beat, nor did we even get a flat (even though i brought 2 spares). have 8 or 9 rolls of incredible scenery & wildlife, these are pictures of pictures

in '95 or '96 sold our tent trailer & bought this, which meant we were back to sleeping in the truck or tenting it
Attachment 1170204 first trip with it up to the okanagon, Penask summit, second highest hiway in bc. trailer sucked for loading & un-loading Attachment 1170206 trip to Arrow lake in '05, have re-built trailer, much easier to use now Attachment 1170207 Attachment 1170208 |

before we bought the camper, still sleeping in truck or tenting it.
camp & ride around the Coquihalla alot. if you ever watch the show Highway to Hell, it's based on the "Coke". it's not as bad as they make it out to be, 90% of it is ill-prepared people or driving to fast idiots Attachment 1170212 Attachment 1170213 Attachment 1170214 Attachment 1170215 Attachment 1170216 |
