another drive with no camera

Just a few pictures from a drive with norm et all.  We headed up postil, crossed over to doreen lake, and then down past beaver lake.  here is a map.

turned off the gps at doreen lake, hence the weird line top middle

back up to and down to christie falls

some people i know had never been to christie falls.  time to break them in.  kris, louie, mary and i headed up there.  we took a road up we had never taken before.  good road.  some big holes.  it was some good old remembrance day fun.

finding our new road.

tarps, campfires, truck 3 and bikes

 This weekend 4 of us loaded up bikes and camping gear in truck 3 and headed north for some camping and biking.  this was truck 3's maiden adventure, so it was important.

wood (thanks norm) and bikes and sitch.

2007 km from pinawa mb, to kelowna, bc.

After 10 years of my 1984 mazda rx-7 GSL-SE being parked in a barn in manitoba, circumstances arose that needed the car to be moved.  to my house seemed like a good place.

Here is the set up. 

Friday am - fly to winnipeg, get picked up, go to uhaul, get the trailer, drive it to said barn, load the car, pack some other stuff, go to pinawa, chill out.

Saturday - more chilling out.  more packing

Sunday 6:30 am.  get in the truck, drive to the barn, hook up the trailer with the car on it, start driving.

the car, on the trailer, behind the truck.  sunday morning

1st stop was brandon for gas.  while we were there, surprise surprise, a 1984 rx-7 was seen.  what are the chances of 2 1984 rx-7s in the same random parking lot?

what is this?  another 1984 mazda rx-7?

 We made it to the border not long after brandon.  here are some pictures...

car, truck, trailer, border.

the blue mazda pulled up while we were peeing at the border.  feels like we're being followed.

 After dinner in swift current, we made for medicine hat.  the evening prairie sunset is something we don't get in kelowna.

 The next day, crossing into bc, what did we see?  the blue mazda again.  that guy is making good time.

 When we got to glacier park, just eat of revelstoke, i realized just how close to home it is.  definitely a place to check out more in the future.  only 2 hours away!

After revelstoke, it was a quick beeline for home.  My mazda made it to our place saftely, and the truck has since returned back to manitoba with the driver... dad.

speaking of dad... thanks for the use of the truck and you accelerator foot.  look forward to you next visit.  maybe pick you up from the airport in my rx-7.
