Videos Will be uploaded here tomorrow. At least one is interesting (Hall Mountain). This video is just to show you how bloody long this bridge is; https://youtu.be/KJGyc_Tc_O0 This was coming back from the 2/3rds point of Hall Mountain road east of Grey Creek BC...

Zip File Actual Trip tracks (cleaned up) and waypoints in a zipped gpx file for anyone interested with playing in Basecamp. This is not a strictly paved routeso keep that in mind. The waypoints may be of use for fuel and other stops.

I'd like that and already have a great route plotted out to the coast and back. We should all plan to camp. I'd even try to stay up later.

I tell it like I see and remember it. I try to make it interesting in the same way I attempt to plan interesting rides. Both with mixed results much like my photography. In all my endeavors, improvement is what I strive for. I always appreciate feed back as long as it is constructive, so...

Day Six Here comes the rain again; During the fireworks show put on by mother nature last night hoping not to make the Vancouver Sun with a byline reading; Elder Mr Beales was sleeping at the time.... Well OK only Ian will get that one, but I digress. I will try to keep my sniveling about...

Tire changing pictures added thanks to Ian in the original Day 4 post. Up Next; Cue Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics....

Ok, I threw one up, it's been a couple of months so I should be legal.....

Day Five Falling Trees & Soil Sampling; Another early morning, another easy camp break with dry tent pack-up. I used the last of my camp coffee but planned to restock in Kimberley, just over Grey Creek Pass. It had rained the previous night but the overall humidity was low and temperature warm...

Next I answer the age old question posed by Bruce Cockburn; If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear? :poke:

Dustin, I tell you, it will disapoint you. With the north 30 kms the speed limit is 60 kph! It feels like walking speed on a bike. The rest to Creston is 80 kph, ho-hum BORING. There was a time that the speed was 90 all along and the fines were not so draconian, back then it was a great road...

Day Four My Own Private Idaho & a Weird Canada Entry Toll; Morning bug out was the same as always except for breakfast I had a couple of Cliff bars, not being able to resupply my instant oatmeal and the last stock point. Really it was the same thing in different form with a few new chemicals...

Day Three Smuggler’s trail; Waking at Bowman Lake I saw no signs of carnage from the previous evening’s horror soundtrack as I wandered through the trees to go clean up. A quick breakdown of camp and typical outback breakfast followed of oatmeal and coffee for me anyway. Ian prefers canned...

Day Two Banjos and Blood-Curdling Screams in the woods; “It was an early morning yesterday; I was up before the dawn. I really have enjoyed this day, but I must be moving on. Goodbye Mary… “For some reason this song by Supertramp played in my head this morning as I packed up camp. The camp...

Day One Fire! Smoke on the Horizon; Despite my wife’s dislike of early morning she was up to see me off on this cool sunny day. Foregoing the traditional start of trips over the last 5 years Cora’s Restaurant was off the menu, settling for a coffee at Tim Horton’s instead. Ian arrived...

I'm Home Mostly safe & Sound. Too short, but interesting trip. The bridge over lake Kookanusa north of Libby Montana. I'll start working on the report tomorrow.

wow That is disgusting how those have fallen apart! Thanks for posting those shots, they might save someone's feet. I was complaining about my 35 year old Frank Thomas boots because the soles are coming off. I glued them back on with windshield adhesive to get them through the season. After...

Family friendly, now, now. No " but wait, there's more" photos. He he. I'm not Lenny Kravitz....

I was in the pool, I swear. Think George Castanza. I might take a few pictures.......
