| Hike, Bike, Quad or 4x4 - Where did RS go today? 1. If it's vaguely outdoors related - post it up! 2. Pictures are always welcome, but not at all necessary. Seeing as fall is upon us and I personally tend to get out more I figured I'd start this up. I just got back from camping out at Peaches and Creme Falls, which I discovered on the first RS trip out to the Elaho river (thanks again, RS - never would have scouted campsites that far from my normal stomping grounds). Saw 2 people leaving the falls as we were pulling up but didn't see another soul on the Elaho main. Probably were the only people for 20kms in any direction last night. Fairly warm too - I had to have two windows open to get to sleep. Probably didn't need one of my heavier bags...

The pathy kept up behind me the entire way and I wasn't exactly going slow. Traction and dampening are no problem for it. Clearance is however. Quote:

Went through Whipsaw a few weeks back for an end of the summer camping trip.. We tried to find the god damn lake and couldnt lol... so we ended up on top of the mountain and just camped there.. Was so much fun.. My truck is fairly stock and it didnt have too much of a problem.. just have to be careful on the super dips if you have side bars and a low front bumper.. I have an iron cross, 35s and about a 3ish inch lift... Was fun AS HELL!!!

Neato. I guess I generally don't venture into the parks all that often as if I'm trying to get out into nature I'd rather do it away from the crowds but I figured I'd have seen one before. From my recent memory I know there aren't any at Ross, Silver Beach or Cinnemousun Narrows (the latter obviously not as it's boat access only).

So I headed up to Kelowna for a week yesterday - kicked it off today with exploring out around Myra Canyon trying to remember where all my old camping spots were:
Hopefully the weather stays at least kind of nice for the next couple of days and I can try to hit up some of the little lakes out here.

I braved Richmond today in the Pathy.
Pretty sure I accidentally ran over a couple of lowered Miata's.
Nah, quickly went up and down Triangle Beach before seeing a movie at the theatre. That rear suspension is still fucked. |

No pictures but it's vaguely outdoors related. Finally took the Pathfinder out on it's first trailer haul session. lol. Had to do some landfill dump runs and the insurance on the Blazer ran out a few days ago. Apparently no one sells a flat 4 (three male, one female) to circle 7 pin (male) adapter, so I had to make my own in order to legally run the trailer. Also got a chance to try out the 4x4 on my property by hauling a bunch of wood up a steep hill to the burn pit. Decided to give it a try instead of using the tractor. Even with currently crappy tires on it, it still made it up the wet grassy hill like a champ. |

Took the sidekick to a lookout over buntzen lake. I've had it for 2 years and average is 6.1L/100km with the vw turbodiesel engine. Really want to do a 3rd gen 4runner or tacoma vw tdi swap now.
My recovery kit consisted of a Toyota with vw turbodiesel swap

How did the new tires do/which do you have on?

Rolling on the Silent Armors... man, I am frikken LOVING these tires. Only time I actually got stuck was when the right rear sank deep in a hole, other than that they just wouldn't quit. Quiet on the road, way smoother/less twitchy ride than the old LTX's. My ancient little compressor is just about dead so I drove all the way home with 20-25 PSI in them (first tire done got the most... last one got very little) and still had a pretty good ride on the pavement.
