Editor Darby Darrow will be in British Columbia throughout July and we'd love to have him get together with some of you and perhaps go wheeling, shoot some photos, and do a piece on BC 4x4 action. Darby owns a 1973 FJ40 although he will not have it with him as he is with his wife and kids; he hails from San Diego.

An overnight or simply a day trip out somewhere would be great, please email me or PM me if you think this can work. Or, simply post up here. Thank you!

Cheers,
 
perfect timing...cruiser days is in july. maybe you can get a nice even write up of it? :D im sure there will be a day trip following. im planning on being there...

otherwise, im up for a day trip or overnighter...as long as its not canada day weekend as i'll be at whipsaw...or july 12/13th as i'll be in nelson for wifey's reunion...midweek can work too!

Oh is that right, eh? Sorry I had to throw that out, but my wife and kids are Canadians!

Unfortunately we have another important event to attend in Washington on the 19th. :cheers:

My boys are 12 and 14.

We will be in the area from mid July to mid August, but already have some commitments in Washington. The majority of the time will be spent in Vancouver, Deep Cove, Coquitlam and Alouette Lake area.

I will keep an eye on this thread and see what we can figure out. We are looking forward to hooking up with you.
 
Cool! Glad this is coming together, wish I could be there but I am getting married on July 19!

Well what better place than to get married at a Toyota event! I'm sure if you mentioned this to the missus-to-be, she'd give it a thumbs up ;)
 
If you guys arent available during our Cruiser Days July 19 then I am sure a few of us can get together any time after. I am off work until September so I am always available . We have a boy that is 7 and lives and breathes $wheeling
 
There are many places that are not too far from Vancouver that offer some good trails, what dates are you available for, how much time would you have for the trip? Is there anything specific you wanted to see, a certain area perhaps? We can arrange a trip almost any time and I am sure that there would be several members interested to join the trip. I would be more then willing to take a couple days off work for this.

We will be north of the border from the 20th of July until the 6th of August. During that time we are planning on camping at Alouette Lake from 7/27 until 7/30.

Other than that we don't have any definite plans.

We would be up for a day trip or an over nighter. We have no areas in particular that we need to see, but scenic would be good, in fact Dave insists on scenic! But then again you guys have no shortage of scenic! If you guys have some possible dates let's post them here and I will confirm once we leave So Cal in case there are any changes. Looking forward to meeting you guys!
 
I should have the 40 running by then. Always up for camping or a day trip.
The club does a run on BC day long weekend (August 4 this year), usually the Whipsaw trail.
 
My wife and I really enjoyed the overnight trip after Cruiser Days 07. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think we ended up over Margaret Pass.
 
I remember that trip, and so do many others, it was a good run, and would be worth doing again. Maybe this time we could crash for the night at Sunrise Lake, and if we go on a regular weekend the chances of having people up there might be smaller. I am also curious to find out how those washouts we went through are looking now after the winter.
 
I'm not sure where, but that route is closed due to the landslide that happened up there.

The Chehalis/Norrish area won't be accessible for a while. There's a gate on Mystery Creek from Harrison L. There's the landslide. There's a gate on Chehalis FSR. Norrish FSR will be gated until at least mid July, possibly longer (two bridge replacements). They may keep it closed while logging.
 
Day trip or overnighter is all good! How does it look for either 7/26, 7/27, 8/2 or 8/3? Those are weekends but since we will be on holiday, weekdays work for us, just thinking that somebody is probably working Monday through Friday!
 
Aug 2 & 3 are the August long weekend. We will be heading to the Wipsaw Trail that weekend. Are you interested in going? It is a 4 hour drive from Vancouver to base-camp at Lodestone Lake, going through Princeton and Coalmont. Quite a few of the club members will be there.
