There, now a step ahead of Martin. :hillbilly: A crossing, Yodel Camp as we BS outside about our trucks, then on to more washouts as we head to finish up the first day camped below the big hill.

Yeah, been skipping the ones Todd had interest in, not sure if he still wants them for anything. Besides, between three sets of photos, its probably more than enough.
 
Keep 'em coming, never get tired of old school trucks and BC scenery! :popcorn:
 
I hear you Rob, the only thing that could have been cooler is if we replaced the two 60's and the Bronco with a 40, a 45 pickup, and a 45 troopie! :hillbilly: possibly throw a pig in there somewhere too.:hillbilly:
 
No power windows and door locks are old enough for me :beer:

I'm OK with carpet....
 
Hmmm, not quite sure I consider models introduced after 1980 as 'old school', but I guess the 60s are starting to get old enough :meh:.

Anyways, on to the next day. All three trucks drove up the big hill easy peasy. Ford looks a bit smokey with the incline in the photo. Trail gets considerably tighter after that, as you can see by the scarred trees. Well, I guess the trees in this pic are just blazzed, by there were lots that had truck rub marks.

Climbing the mighty windy ridge hill in the morning. and what the original trail looks like, a little tight, so the bypass, although steeper looked like a better option due to the slightly slick conditions we were encountering.

She was tight, and with the big wagons, had to do a bunch of shimmying.
