Re: post up your camping pics
going on 6 mos MTCK!
quit mar 18, tough, but i'm done wasting 20 bucks a day on them.... i also learned a couple things today. one, i'm old. not the go-anywhere young buck anymore, just a 50 yr old roofer...hiked close to 30 miles today, with almost 4 of them strait up and down, and man oh man, i'm really feeling it right now. also learned a bear banger can work pretty good too... our province has been burning big time this yr. the smoke from wildfires has blanketed the valley again, can barely see the mountains around my place so i decided to get out of the smoke today, and headed up the Coquihalla. seems to be some smoke at the bottom of the Coke too.. you never know what you'll run into on the Coke, like this truck-less load of 2x4's going up in flames lots of construction going on the Coke right now. fixing the bridge at Dry Gulch |

Re: post up your camping pics
upon closer inspection, pretty sure the stepper don't have the clearance to drop off one log, and up the other...not really interested in finding out being a solo run, yeah my truck riding buddy Dieseldawg is at home. he's still recovering from his cancer op.
and here's where i made my first screw-up, thinking i can hike all the way in, up the mountain, and all the way out...a few spots the road was'nt too bad |

Re: post up your camping pics
oh man SNJ, this is now offically the worst fire yr on record up here.
in 2 months over 2.4 million acres gone up. and the worst part is most of them are caused by people being IDIOTS. a lot of people have lost their houses, barn's, vehicles, pretty much the opposite of what is happening to Houston. We would LOVE to take some of that rain off Houston's hands....our backcountry literally explodes it's so dry around where i live we're lucky and only have 1 fire going right now. We have a big lake (Harrison) near us, so water bombers can get on top of them pretty quick, but with our mountainous terrain, it's still a big challenge... and the idiots are a challenge too. some yahoos lit up Bear Creek at Harrison on july 1st. the fire crews told the people camping at Bear creek, Silver creek, and Cogburn beach to evac. When the fire crews went in to fight the fire, they had to stop and put out 3 unattended fires from the campers-like jeez, how stupid can you be? they almost have it under control now, 'bout 70%, then last Sat (can ya belive this???) some bigger idiots went up there and lit up another fire. it's only been blasted all over the tv, radios, newspaper, massive fines, and they still do this... just saw on the news, normal rain for july/aug-75 mm (3") this july/aug so far-10 mm (.3") smoke comes and goes depending on the winds. some of the fires burning are so massive (Elephant Hill, half a million acres) they create their own winds, and when it's outflows, we get smoked. we just went through 3 weeks of this at the beginning of the month surrounded by 8000ft mountains and can't see a single one smoke really made the sun red in the morning, redder than my cam can do.. this is one of our job sites at 1 in the afternoon... ha! check this out, but it was'nt plywood.. http://www.100milefreepress.net/news...la-southbound/ |

Re: post up your camping pics
jeez, with the humidity it's climbing over 100....we just can't seem to catch a break
much too hot to be in our non air conditioned house, so took the fam damily to Andy's lake up the Coquihalla. took wife's truck too, so nothing but pavement and gravel roads.... ![]() when i went to Vicuna last week, there was 9 choppers parked in this field (fire fighting). only 3 today but no traffic so i snapped some pics. looks like (not a chopper expert...) a huey, and a bell 407 and a bell 212 this thing was parked across the street (nice e-brake...lol) and with the kid, had to once again stop at McDicks. while sitting in the drive-thru line up, this thing rolled up. i got no idea what it is. looks like some kind of redneck road grader rat rod...it had 4 slicks on the arse end, but was gone by the time we got thru the line up... |

Re: post up your camping pics
Here's a quick report of a run I made a couple of weeks ago with some friends, my wife and son as well as my Nephew. He's in the Black Rubicon and had not wheeled off road as a driver before. He's ridden with me, but never drove so he wanted to come out with us.
We hit 3 trails over three days. Day one, Tincup pass. Day two, Reno Creek/Italian Divide. Day three, Pearl Pass. Each day the trail got progressively harder. The other two rides with us are friends of ours, the red Jeep we had just added a 2.5" lift and a fresh clutch a month earlier. Other than that it's stock with a 4 banger and open diffs front and back. The Yellow TJ is loaded with ARB's front and back and all the other goodies. Airing down on Tincup. ![]() Climbing. ![]() Summit. ![]() View from the top. ![]() Mirror Lake below Tincup pass. ![]() Campsite #1 ![]() Heading up Reno Creek. ![]() What a view. ![]() Getting close to the top on day 2. ![]() American Flag Mountain. Look close and you'll see a truck still on the side of the mountain. ![]() ![]() Start of Pearl Pass. ![]() Climbing throught the trees. ![]() Valley of green. ![]() Pics really don't illustrate how steep this trail turned into. Glad I'm running fuel injection. ![]() Nearing the top. ![]() Looking back towords Crested Butte to the west. ![]() Still got snow in mid-August. Actually this pass doesn't really open until this time of year due to snow on the trail above this area. ![]() Summit at 12,705. ![]() Not much parking up here.. ![]() Long way down. 18 miles to Aspen. ![]() Looking towords Aspen. ![]() High mountian meadow. ![]() Fun trip.

Re: post up your camping pics
Great pics, Rob! K5 looks like it is doing exactly what you want. I'm expecting to see a write up on that FWC pretty soon as well as Desert Trip.

The FWC has been something I've been searching for a very long time. I'll update the build thread with some new info. I need to finish wiring up the report for the desert trip. I'll I can say is it was epic. Most fun I've had on 4 wheels. That says a lot as I've done a lot of stuff with 4 wheels. Quote:
