Countdown to departure day:

This trip will take about 5 days and cover approximately 1000 km.


We will be departing on Wednesday, July the 1st (the holiday). Having the whole week off would be ideal if you want to get the most of this trip.


The exact route has not yet been determined, but is actively being discussed. The rough plan is to start from the Princeton side of the Whipsaw,
head to Tulameen, Brookmeer, over to the Coquihala, check out Cabin Lake, then head down to Boston bar and exit at the East side if Harrison.


Everyone is welcome to join us and make this another exciting event.






Minimum Requirements
 front and rear tow points (hitch balls don't count!)
 tow strap
 33" mud-terrain tires
 full size spare (with air in it!)
 key for locking wheel nuts
 at least one locker 
 CB radio
 all reliability issues fixed (ie: that funny sounding clunk that you hear when you turn left)






Here is the official itinerary, thanks to "240 Jordy".
