If you are filling up with diesel, I recommend the Shell Flying J Card Lock off of Lickman Road. All you need is a credit card and it has been about 10-12 cents per liter cheaper than retail pumps.

I usually fill up in Abbotsford at the Husky. I assumed that the card lock was for commercial truckers and not for the general public. Anyway, I'll give it a try and see what happens. Thanks John.

I just checked the prices. The Flying J is 82.8/L right now: http://www.flyingj.com/fuel/diesel_CF.cfm?state=BC. It is a card lock but also allows retail - see notes section on web page. Pull up to a pump, go in to the cashier shack, give the lady your credit card, go out and pump, back-in and finish the transaction. The next time all you do is put your credit card into the card lock reader and pump away. It has to be the same reader you have been set-up on. The cashier told me I could just apply for card lock account and fuel up at any Flying J. I was too lazy then but probably will do it soon.
If you don't use the trickle pump on the West side you will be using the big rig pumps. It is always good to estimate how much fuel you will need as these pump push the diesel through pretty quick and it is easy to get a diesel bath if your not careful. Don't ask me how I know.:whoops:

I don't imagine that Bob Lake is very big, so we won't have any problem spotting each other. In any case, I will pound a "CC" sign at the campsite entrance and some yellow tape.

So at least I now know where we are going. Depending on how the schedule works I am planning to either head up Friday evening - if I can get all my crap together in time - or Saturday morning. If I leave in the evening I'll be getting there pretty late.
Actually, were leaving on Friday. Just haven't got a specific time yet.

I'm meeting Nico Saturday at the Chevron @ the 232 exit off of hwy 1 at 8am. If anyone else wonts to join please let me know so we don't leave without you.
It's not going to work out for me to join you folks this time, but thanks anyway to Bill and Drew for their offers.

I am planning to make it for this one again.... I had fun at the Churn Creek run, although helping Rod get his truck on all fours was an experience we all could have done without that weekend.

In case anybody is interested, BC topo map reference: 92I07 (Mamit Lake) is the map that includes Bob Lake. WGS 84 Datum Location (to the middle of Bob Lake):
Latitude: 50∘20.808' Longitude: -120∘34.649'
These old topo's don't even show a dirt track going into Bob, of course, they don't show the Coquihala either.

GlenBJ74: Welcome to our run. Where did you get your rock sliders? Did you have to fabricate them or did you adapt them from another application?
Weather forecast for Merritt good and looking better every day.

Rock Sliders
I had them fabricated from my own design - 2"X4" by 0.125 bolts-ons with kick-outs to push rocks out from the tires. They look a bit like the OEM running boards but tougher.

Ok, so I ran out of time and will not be heading up Friday, I will be going Saturday morning-ish. I will try to be at the Chevron for 8am but I can make no promisses. when you guys head off on Saturday from Bob lake, where are you going - just so I know, in case I am running really late.
I just PM you my cell# so give me a call when you leave so we know how far behind you are if we don't meet at Chevron.
Got it, thanks.
