I did sleep in the back of the 91 last year on our validation run prior to the desert trip. Other than unloading the majority of gear I brought with me so I had enough room to stretch out, it was more comfy than sleeping in a tent on the ground. But the idea don't work when I'm out for more than a night or have a passenger. The entire truck needs to be unloaded to allow for space to sleep. I'll have safe heat in the camper, standing room and a soft bed. It should be awesome. |

took the kids new quad out yesterday....fills up the trailer quite a bit more than his old Polaris...
Attachment 1784317 went up the valley to the old Centennial Trail, which has now become part of the Trans Canada Trail (also known as the Great Trail) a 15 000 mile trail from the Pacific ocean on one side of Canada to the Atlantic ocean on the other side of Canada with a side trek up to the Arctic ocean...much like the Pacific Crest trail in the USA, just a lot longer (which also ends about 30 mins from my house).. https://www.postholer.com/google-map...-Crest-Trail/1 https://thegreattrail.ca/explore-the-map/ everything is running high right now with the snow meltdown.. Attachment 1784318Attachment 1784320Attachment 1784321 some other people out with SXS's and atv's enjoying the fine weather Attachment 1784319 |

Attachment 1784328Attachment 1784329Attachment 1784330 a nice spot to park, off the beaten path, right beside a little swamp lake for dawg too cool off in... Attachment 1784331Attachment 1784332 |

...speaking of....( the water is actually well over his head, he's standing on another log...)
Attachment 1784333 and no diesel, that log is a little too big for you to drag in.... Attachment 1784334 the Trans Canada trail used to be multi-use pretty much everywhere around our place, but that seems to have changed now....which i think is pretty stupid, atv's are what keep the trails open, ain't enough hikers ever walking them to keep them from reverting back to nature.....beyond here is foot or bicycle only now....i'd just keep on riding up it if my son was'nt with me...do'nt want to start him on the road to bad habits in the woods though...

but as it turned out, this was pretty much the end of riding for me today....:waah: wife's quad...
Attachment 1784338 run into an old buddy of mine (worked with him in the early '90's!) camped by Williams peak, which came in handy for me... Attachment 1784339 left my atv with him and had wife double me back to the truck so i could bring it in closer to where my buddy was camped..... Attachment 1784340 because i got a flat. i hit a rock real hard and the tire went flat pretty much instantly, could'nt see anything at first, so i figured i knocked it off the bead. at first i took some starter fluid and tried to re-set the bead. Attachment 1784341 after messing around with it some, this gash reared it's ugly head....and right in the middle of the sidewall....:waah:.....so much for this tire. jammed a couple plugs in it, lasted 'bout 20 mins under riding, split kept getting bigger.....held air long enough to get it on and off the trailer....my day is done-bummer...another 3-400 hundred for tires now....crewcab paint job keeps getting further away......
