Re: post up your camping pics

steep, narrow, lots of off camber that the camper wont like. took me almost 2 hrs to go 10 miles. i video'ed it with my dash cam, looks really cool, but it's waaaaay to long to upload. should have cut it into segments i guess....
up & down over the mountains...

Re: post up your camping pics

dawg cooling off, this is where we get off the powerline rd & back on a normal gravel rd. John george lake is up a 20 mile valley that climbs to 'bout 11 or 12 thou feet. there is 6 or 7 lakes all connected by Kwoiek creek that are fed by Stukolait lake near the top of the valley. it's a spectacular place in the summer

Re: post up your camping pics

i pretty much knew that at that elevation, there was going to be snow. looking at the mountains & how mild this winter has been, i was hoping to get up to a mile or so from John George & hike the rest. was not happening, hit snow at the 8 mile mark little too far to be hoofing out in snow....notice how there is hardly any snow anywhere, except on the road...
i made it just around the corner then had all 3 wheels spinning...

Re: post up your camping pics

Cool pics diesel. Truck looks tough as always.

Good looking train, Steve! I didn't know you could pull doubles in MT. For some reason I always thought that was a Canadian thing. Make sure you can pull straight through at the gas pump!

Ya it's 23ft from hitch to bumper. I had a 31ft toy hauler but the garage was too small so I sold it. I got this pumper pull camper for living in on a logging project but it's going up for sale and I would like a 25ft or less fifth wheel and ill still drag a toy trailer behind. The Miss likes her dirt bike so I'll need a bigger toy trailer to fit it on along with my wheeler. Total length right now is 58ft so I'm well under legal, dragging load is about 8500lbs, truck weighs 6000lbs before my butt is in it.

3+3 single cab is cramping the quarters ain't it?

Re: post up your camping pics

i like your wife! wish my wife rode a bike. i "downgraded" my KX to a quad (blah!) just so we could actually ride as a family (dont ask, riding a big bore 2 stroke with your family on quads is like trying to drive a top fueler in rush hour...) sigh.... i miss my bike
and it's just the angle of the pic's, she's my 4 ton honey, 3+3 crew. are you kidding? sitting in a reg cab with my family??.... on my holidays???
