post up your camping pics

[dieseldawg142]

finally broke it free...


and a little further up the valley

[dieseldawg142]

like i said, beautiful day, not to hot


stopped at the swamp


this is where it got interesting. both dawgs fell off the log twice. wish my cam had faster speed between pics- missed some funny as hay puppy moments, although i did get one vid of Rumbledawg doing a header off the log
balancing puppies...

[dieseldawg142]

still balancing....


and bam! Roxie knocked Rumble off the log


now Rotts is pointing in the wrong direction, and the water is about 10 ft deep..


just a hair too soon with the pic. Roxie tried to step off onto a small floater and it dumped her.


she then managed to pull herself up on to a bigger log. but it's to far from shore so she has to come back the same way

[dieseldawg142]

somehow she jumped off the floater so quick she made it back to the big one...


...however, something caught her eye...again just a tad too quick, going for another splashdown...


now Rumbledawg is going to her, you can see her swimming back to the log...

[dieseldawg142]

and of course Rumbledawg just had to see what Rotts was into...a micro-second before he went in...the two of them were like Laurel and Hardy, in a span of about 5 or 6 mins they both took the plunge twice..


after enuff falling we hiked up the creek to the top of the hill.
almost walked right pass this


upon closer inspection, not quite sure what they were building-shelter or a stand. and Rumble has to get into every pic, look in the middle


and near the top

[dieseldawg142]

meanwhile back at the canal the beaver is still at work on his log


the grass has gotten taller too, taller than Rumble. Rotts you have to carefully look for moving grass to see where she is, Rumble leaps around like a deer, he keeps jumping up so he can see where he is going...again, some funny as hay vid of him prancing threw the grass


check out the vibrant color on these ducks...


Rumble jumped in and put them to flight, but i got kinda a cool pic of him taking off. just wish the bird wasn't so blurry

[Ol Blue K20]

Beautiful country and some gorgeous pics. The dogs should of slept pretty good that night.

[dieseldawg142]

i wish Dale, the 2 of them are a mile a minute...
with the heat wave we had, the canal and tributary rivers are coming up with the snow melt. can still see the handrail at the canal


Rumble jumping up to see whats on the other side of the grass


took the mutts to a little creek, Rumble really likes laying in water...weird


and using the creek as a bidet...

[dieseldawg142]

tug of war wit a stick


meanwhile Roxie is digging a hole to sit in...

[dieseldawg142]

Roxie usually has good balance...


but on this day she fell into a 3 ft hole, luclily she landed on a rock where i could reach her and pull her out, cause the hole went down another 3-4 ft..


took the crew down to the canal....this is a place where a long wheelbase comes in handy...

[dieseldawg142]

this puddle was 'bout twice the length of the crew, and almost to the top of the tires

[dieseldawg142]

even though this riding area is one of the best in BC, we hardly ever go there cause it's always a gong show. but wife's sister talked us into going there one weekend.


actually i think my sil wanted to show off the used cargo trailer she bought, for a give-away price. 18 footer for $1500, only thing wrong was the leg was busted- big whoop, would love to get a smoking deal like that for our quads...def. jealous...

[dieseldawg142]

these does wandered into the staging area. cause it's a riding area- no discharging firearms anywhere around here, and these does seem to know that. i got closer to them than anyone else


this place has every kind of terrain, from kids to begineer to pro to total banzai.
i only got a couple pics cause wife would not follow me and the boy and she was packing the cam, but keep reading, we made another trip there yesterday and hit the banzai trails

[dieseldawg142]

the boy blasting thru a creek


got the machines a little muddy. yesterday i had the cam and will show some wicked trails

[dieseldawg142]

at the canal again, this is where i drove the crew down a few days earlier- gone, under water now


and you can see just the top of the handrail now (it went higher still)


dawgs at the river

[dieseldawg142]

this floater goin' down the river was just too tempting for Rumble...

[dieseldawg142]

took me 40 mins to get these rocks balanced for a pic and took Rumbledawg 2 seconds to come knock them over...


took the mutts to the trail of 7 ponds. 'bout a 5-6 mile hike in to some of the best natural fish rearing ponds around here
heading in

[dieseldawg142]

trail is not very used, and no water anywhere for the dawgs to drink up


Rotts sure was happy to find this little mud puddle for a drink

[dieseldawg142]

then Rumble kicked her out and moved in..


and here he goes again wit this laying in water thing again..


and fish pond no 1


Rumble yarding some lumber out of it

[dieseldawg142]

Rotts wandered out onto this log, but it started sinking, thought for sure she was going for a splashdown, but she made it back before she went in


and another fish pond


the water was crystal clear, it's actually about 8-10 ft deep, but you can see right to the bottom. clear enuff to see mankinds mess....


depressing seeing this krap in a pristine area...

[dieseldawg142]

another pond


haft to cross a lot of logs


another log we got to cross ....


...to get to another pond

[dieseldawg142]

another pond


3 logs to cross just to get over a little creek...lookin back should have just walked thru the creek. skinny log first


then up this curved one


and then over this one

[dieseldawg142]

another pond


came across this nicely resto'd boat tail on my way home


and at the canal. has become a fav place for the mutts, they really enjoy coming down here and cooling off in this heat. getting further and further back from the pump house, water is still slowly rising

[dieseldawg142]

in an effort to try not fry when i take the dawgs out, took them out at night a few times (11pm - 3am)
in the mountains with zero background light, my cam don't take good nite shots...mutts really enjoyed going out after dark though

[dieseldawg142]

at the river again cooling off. it's running pretty fast


been eating lots of popsicles in the heat. Roxie snuck on me one day and snaked her tongue around my freeze pop before i knew it...after that, i aint eating it....mmmmm, we like freeze pops...
