Re: post up your camping pics
got back from what may be our only vacation this yr. day before we left boss told me we got a big job that will tie us up for a month or so. that bites.
we stayed fairly local, went to a corner of the coquihalla hiway area. took the wife's envoy so we could also go for a day trip down to Tulameen. made a slight detour to let the dogs out & have a bite dawg just started doing this weird thing, rock licking. doesn't actually lick them, he drapes his tongue on them & moves his head around https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz83VRdsQGs |

Re: post up your camping pics
back on the coquihalla.
they have signs that say "high mountain road, weather changes suddenly".... it sure does, one minute bright sun, the next, rain 'bout halfway up the "smasher" the rain stopped. 10% grade for 9 or 10 miles. if you have a heavier vehicle, your cooling system has to be top notch there's the sudden weather change again. breaking up at the top |

Re: post up your camping pics
turned off the "coke" again
turned on this road, 'bout 10 miles of single lane to our turn off. sent the wife ahead to make sure it was clear, no hope of turning 40 feet of truck & trailer around on this road so far so good, only see her tracks yay! almost there & still only seeing her tracks |

Re: post up your camping pics
got to our turn-off, Pike mt. 'bout 10 miles of more 8-10% grade with a real crappy surface. there goes the beer & pop
was messing around & tried some different angles. it's a little shaky, my go-pro is me holding my 10 yr old canon out the window. climbing pike mt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kupZwyXRgjE a constant climb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSdAIiJoEqo still climbing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdaKnW3tb0A made it to the top! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC1rpIkHvcU |

Re: post up your camping pics
there's 8 or 9 lakes at the top of pike mt, but here's the one we want
here's an awesome spot to camp....only i ran out of 3 foot stick & still didn't hit bottom, not really the place to get almost 15k of rv buried found this nice spot....but half the road drops away 2ft at the top. tilt-o-meter will definitely be out of safe range |
