started a new job, and that pushed all our holidays back a couple months....
so i dropped the camper & went riding up the Coquihalla yesterday.
i mention the hiway quite a bit in my posts, it's the star attraction of the tv show Highway to Hell, in 30 yrs this highway has claimed thousands of vehicles, majority of them on a section called "the smasher". it's a 4-6% grade for 10-12 miles, then goes up to 8-10% on the smasher for another couple miles. it's a hard pull up the hill if your heavy, overheated & on fire vehicles are common, and in the winter, thats were it gets it's reputation. if your going faster than 30-40 in the winter on this hill, your done for. of course everyone knows suv's & 4x4's can go threw anything....
made a short vid of going up & down the smasher. check out the jersey rail, beat all to heck, knocked out of whack, new ones replaced everywhere....going down is a better perspective of the hill. yeah, there's bigger & longer ones around, but the Coke has had it's fair share & then some, of carnage....
made these with the cheap 49 buck dash cam wife got. and ya, everyone is passing me, with 4:56's i cruise at 55-56
starts at the Box canyon chain up area
