So, this has absolutely nothing to do with Peace Canyon. But it will show some random shots of getting out and exploring my new home range in a somewhat oldschool truck. If you don't want it here I'll take the pics down.

This week I've been on a job in Trail. The company trucks on a drilling job so I've been driving my 60. Yesterday ran across a young griz after work while up in the hills getting firewood. Today wrapped up early so I drove up river from Trail to Salmo along the border. Easy wheeling but found a couple spots to lock the hubs.

Nice Martin,
I don't think anyone will object, the Swamp Donkeys just started up here, but we encompass the rest of the province out of the valley, island, and okanagan and any other outcast area around Canada, or the world did you happen to run into anyone from the Kootney cruisers yet, if they are still around?
Cheers.

That shot of the back of your 60 with the river and dead trees looks awfully similar to our tumbler trail area here in NE BC

Neil, haven't been in the WK for long. Hoping to see some of pics of your favorite areas seeing as you've been in the EK a long time?

Deny, thought of your tumbler pics when in that old burn.

I'm seeing lots of cruisers around, but so far haven't really tried getting a hold of the group. Though I do talk cruisers often enough at work with the building owner, nice guy who happens to have a very cool FJ40. Just need more time to get my 40 back out on the trail.

I'll add to this as I see stuff worth sharing

Thanks Rob. Any pointers on places to see in the area would be much appreciated, PM if you prefer . I am going to try getting out as much as I can, so much to see and do. Any time you`re back in the area you`re welcome to stop in, we`re not far past Slocan junction

Have you moved up there? Very jealous if you have! Vince (baxter650) is planning a move to the Grand Forks area.

Unfortunately, I drove a RWD Toyota Corona in my youth, so exploring off road was limited to my bike and hiking; and I really haven't spent any time off pavement there in 25 years, so likely the area has changed quite a bit, but yeah, you could spend a lifetime exploring the area.

Yes we did. So far happy with the decision.

After work today south of Montrose, couple nice coloured black bears.
