thats a real nice set-up you got chevymaniac. i cant belive you live in kitimat & only post 2 pics. we drove the cassiar to watson lk a few years ago with a non dig. camera & blew 18 or 20 rolls! saving our change for a trip up to boya lk this summer.

Re: post up your camping pics
 

Thanks Dieseldawg142. Yes the country side is beautiful, especially when it stops raining or snowing and the sun pokes through. Lots of good fishing if you are into that sport. Those lakes you refered to i'am not fimilair with. Not from around these parts, but my wife is. Been here now for 4 years. Still lots to see and explore. Hoping to get out camping more and exploring some trails.

with that truck it won't be hard! that a stick or auto? yeah, you guys sure get your quota of rain & then some, remember an old guy at dease lk telling me they have 9 months of winter & 3 mos of sh.tty sleddin'.

Re: post up your camping pics
 

also like the color of your truck, almost the same as mine, woodland green,or as everyone else calls it- park ranger green

The truck has a TH400 with shift kit. Dease lake is about another 6 hour drive from kitimat. This year so far winter has been mild. Snow has been disappearing fast and we have our fair share of rain too which is helping with snow removal.

Re: post up your camping pics
 

with summer just around the corner, time for a thread resurrection! first trip out this year. with the river hi & the snow low, hard to get some good riding in, but the weather was stellar (mid to upper 80's)
heading in to one of our fav. spots

Dieseldawg,that truck of yours is freaking cool!! It gives me some motivation to get mine up there some day eh... Is the dogs in the picts the dieseldawg???

Re: post up your camping pics
 

yeah, dieseldawg is the black one. some days he thinks he's superdawg, leap creeks in a single bound, climb mountains. he got a little cocky on the mountain, mis-stepped & i had to grab him by the scruff. my brown cow is a cranky girl (dixie), heck, some days she's so grinchy, she doesn't even like herself!

Glad to hear it all worked out good,cool pictures too eh....

Re: post up your camping pics
 

was able to wrangle a week out of the boss. went to a couple small lakes.
road in was 'bout 10% grade, a lot of off camber, some big rocks & ruts with a few drop-offs
biggest fear was running in to someone else. road was pretty much single lane

Re: post up your camping pics

probably takes me longer to load the toys then the camper

Re: post up your camping pics

Re: post up your camping pics
 

back in the early 90's, we took my '68 910 custom cab on a 2500 mile trip up to boya lake (yukon border), pulling our restored '71 McCloud Hiawatha tent trailer. 383 never missed a beat, nor did we even get a flat (even though i brought 2 spares). have 8 or 9 rolls of incredible scenery & wildlife, these are pictures of pictures

Not the best picture but there is my 71 GMC Camper Special on my trip down to Timothy Lake near Mt. Hood this past August.

Re: post up your camping pics
 

in '95 or '96 sold our tent trailer & bought this, which meant we were back to sleeping in the truck or tenting it

Re: post up your camping pics
 

before we bought the camper, still sleeping in truck or tenting it.
camp & ride around the Coquihalla alot. if you ever watch the show Highway to Hell, it's based on the "Coke". it's not as bad as they make it out to be, 90% of it is ill-prepared people or driving to fast idiots
