friday night my neighbour and trusty backyard mechanic mike and his buddy dave says to me "we are going 4bying at 6:00. wanna come?" i said "yes". so off we went up oyama lake rd. about 5 k up the road, we left the road in favour of some sweet trails none of us had explored. these are their stories...
first was a greasy uphill. time to use the 4wd. dave didn't have quite enough momentum had had to stop and air down half way up. i learned from him and fully committed in 2nd gear. the rain made it sketchy but pretty doable.
 |
| a weird place to stop, but not much choice. |
the trail was a lot of thick bush. time for some backroads pinstripes.
 |
| theres a trail here somewhere? |
since the trail was more for bikes and quads, a chainsaw was needed in a few spots.
 |
| making the road |
we pushed on, and had to turn around a few times. sometimes it was a fence that stopped us, other times it had degraded too much.
 |
| a bit of mud. not as much as i expected from all the rain |
the biggest obstacle was all the brush. folded in the mirrors and plowed through.
 |
| trail in there somewhere. |
about 830 we stopped for a fire. it wasn't far off the road, but it wasn;t trashed and there wasn't garbage everywhere. thats rare for a sweet spot like this.
 |
| 2 stock trucks. 0 problems |
Mike is the master fire lighter. even with a 0% chance of dry wood, he got the fire ripping.
 |
| the fire. ripping. |
we got home all safe and good. 1st thing in the morning was to remove the rear sway bar. that thing just cramps my style. no longer.
 |
| sway bar removed. |
on an unrelated note... for sale. 1 rear sway bar. $20.
It was an epic trip with some cool doods. not sure where next, but you should come.
