Chilko/Taseko Lakes and area trip:
July 25th - August 9th.
Departure:
July 25th, Scalp (Bill), Garry T., Glenn-BJ74 (Glenn) will be meeting at Ricky's in Chilliwack around 12:00 and heading out from there.
SquamSquatch (Garry) will be departing from Squamish and heading North and meeting up with us in Clinton later in the afternoon.
Flycruiser (Robert C.), Sopel (Robert M.), and I, Fantom (Mat R.) will be departing earlier in the morning (9-10 - we'll see) and meeting up with Garry in Clinton. Robert and Sopel are currently a very high maybe but one or the other might not make it.
BJ_FJC (Drew) will be joining us half way through the trip around the 31st.
Darmaduke (Scott) is also going to be joining us for the later 1/2 of the trip.
Archeology_student (Shane) is planning to attend the whole trip but I am not sure when he is departing.
Prado t (Aaron) will be attending the entire trip but not sure when he is departing.
Toynut was also interested but I am not sure when.
Trip:
Those departing on the 25th are heading via highways to Williams Lake, then going on Hwy 20 West. Depending on the time of day and how we are doing there is a chance that an overnight stop will happen at McIntyre Lake Rec Site. McIntyre Lake Rec Site is about 40 km west of Williams Lake just north of Hwy 20.
If not then we will be continuing on to the turn off for Taseko and aiming for a spot at Fish Lake or around there.
The last civilized fuel spot is Lee’s Corner (Hanceville), after that there is a place to obtain fuel by Chilko Lake but it is bare-bones up there.
Either way on the 26th we are going to head to Upper Taseko Lake, there is a camp spot on the South East end with a very nice beach. This is going to be our base camp, from there for the next 4-6 days we will be doing day trips to explore surrounding areas.
After our stay there we will likely head a bit North to Explore Chilko, then I would like to start heading East for the return trip through Gang Ranch areas and into the Canyon.
You will be able to monitor our progress on my Spot page:

Both Garry and Drew have Ham radios and will be in contact as well.
for questions I can be reached at 604.803.3506 or fantomdesigns@shaw.ca
please keep the "chit-chat" out of this thread.
Those who are going and I've missed, please post up, those who I don't have departure times for please let me know, or any other questions.
Be prepared for any type of situation on this trip as we do not know what condition the trails are in, and since we are going into higher elevation be prepared for any kind of weather as well.
