If I can make it, I probably would, might as well make the trip worth while if I already have to do some travelling, but always depends on work though.

Geez Martin, look what you started

I've been wanting to do that trail for while.

It can be quite the adventure

Are you not that Phil charactor, or is there another lazy Phil in the club?

Like the time, back in the day, when McTage bobsledded his 75 down a steep mud slicked hill into some trees that stopped him from flying over a revine, kind of adventure?

It was more of a luge than a bobsled. Damn lucky that tree had a horseshoe nailed to it.

 

[Ratpuke]

Hmmm..... I could make it happen.

Me too.

Phil's not here... Only his alter ego
Phil wasn't being lazy, he brought one of three shovels between six trucks

that trip, Mike tried to flop his HZJ75 in a creek - come-alongs and straps kept him upright

Thanks for the trip down memory lane Steve. That was a fun time.

I think the reference to Mikes slide was from an earlier trip (that I was not on) where Mikes Hill was wet from a fresh rain, the group was traveling in the opposite direction, and Mike started sliding down the hill.

Dunno if I can make this trip. I think I booked the wrong holiday tour in May, and missed the long weekend.

Hmmm , IM IN, How about that point on Gasbard Lake

 

[prado t]

We should do this 40 mins from the orig camp site . No dust more remote and safer for the kids ie no river rising.

 

[canucksafari]

That looks like a perfect camping spot. Well worth another 40 min in the rigs.

 

[Rod McD]

I second that.

 

[Glenn-BJ74]

Looks like a great spot, but remember down in the Canyon it is generally dryer and warmer that the surrounding plateau.

 

[prado t]

This year I am solo, 2 less people to worry about, I wont be late or lost anymore! lol

 

[Glenn-BJ74]

I guess with that monster fridge you bought something had to go!
