Re: post up your camping pics
after getting dumped on last dec with snow, jan was our 4th wettest. after 24 or 25 straight days of rain, we finally got some nice weather, sunny, but cold, a small artic outflow at our end of the valley. got the whole family out, even the wife was getting a little stir-crazy wit all the rain and came out for a hike...
put a day permit on the crew and headed for Mt Lindeman area. |

Re: post up your camping pics
Well, I'm still mourning the fact we still have over a foot of snow on the ground! But, here's some pics from last year - island camping on Hungry Horse reservoir: (and one hunting camp pic from a few years ago)

Re: post up your camping pics
My future camping adventures will be a lot more comfy in this. Still need to finish it, but it will see dirt this summer. No more sleeping on the ground for me!

Re: post up your camping pics
Like that alot, compact enough you can still use the rig. I camped alot out of K5's. I made screen "windows" that fit in place of the rear glass. Roll the rear glass down, open the tail gate & slide the screen up into the window track, close the tailgate. It would have been nice to have more headroom though.

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.

Re: post up your camping pics
took the kids new quad out yesterday....fills up the trailer quite a bit more than his old Polaris...
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.. some other people out with SXS's and atv's enjoying the fine weather |

Re: post up your camping pics
...speaking of....( the water is actually well over his head, he's standing on another log...)
and no diesel, that log is a little too big for you to drag in.... 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... |

Re: post up your camping pics
but as it turned out, this was pretty much the end of riding for me today....
![]() 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... 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..... 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. after messing around with it some, this gash reared it's ugly head....and right in the middle of the sidewall.... ![]() |
