Re: Epic Vancouver road trip!!
Just realized you were coming through. Big show in Sandpoint, ID this weekend, with the main show on Saturday. Then a car show in Creston on Sunday.
Would have been great if you could have added this to your schedule. Enjoy the drive, and keep sending pics! |

Re: Epic Vancouver road trip!!
Wow....looks like a great trip so far! That Nelson/Kootenay area is really cool high mountain forest country.....watch for Grizzlies!...lol.
There are some great steep hills heading west out of the Nelson area that are entertaining in the heat of summer...no worries on this trip tho' this time of year. Glad to hear the truck is running well....but not surprised! Keep on truckin' dudes. Coley

Re: Epic Vancouver road trip!!
Drove from Creston to Summerland today. Beautiful, beautiful country. Had a couple long climbs where the temp started to creep up...but never problematic.
Had to tighten a very loose fan belt before we took off in the morning.  On the road again       Wrapped up the day by jumping into the Okanagan lake. Its chilly in May

Re: Epic Vancouver road trip!!
Interesting story from today..
David and I were cruising along and went by a couple lads walking on the shoulder, one of them carrying a jerry can of fuel. I circled back and we picked them up. It was a tight squeeze to get all 4 of us in, but they said their car was just a 15 minutes down the road. Anyways, sure enough we met the RCMP and she nailed the brakes and pulled us over . Obviously we had a seat belt problem...but I was very respectful and waited until she asked me to explain. At first she said that instead of giving me a ticket, she'd take one of the guys in her car. But I think she didnt feel like driving all the way back....so she thought hard for a minute, gave us a wave and said "carry on guys..." I'm thankful

Re: Epic Vancouver road trip!!
Good place to take a pic!!
How'd you like the drive from the Cathedral Cove over the 'Hump' to Alberni? Bet that climb made the old truck gasp for air!! You've had some great weather though!! Where to next? Down Island or back to Lotus Land? |
