Don’t worry Grant I’m back. I know you were worried about.lol. So it’s been a few hectic weeks here so I've been away, so here's the scoop. The bugs are crazy and you’re going to want to top up the bug spray for your selves and the Jeep. Waters still higher than normal and everything’s still green here so I would imagine that we will run into some pretty deep water up there, so you guys with the snorkel’s are pretty lucky. I don’t even have time to take my k&n off so it’s going to be a pretty laid back trip for me. I hope bc jeep club is going up a different weekend because it could get pretty rough fighting over camping spots/drinking spots. A few of my buddy's are heading up Aug long for the Heinz 57 run and they want feed back on what's going on up there so other than that dress warm and drive safe all

 

I will be meeting the crew from PG in Kamloops. Not sure if anyone else... We can meet at the Husky station in Princeton!

 

thanks for the updates...didn't want to hear about the bugs...but that's life! I will have to make sure I have bug dope packed.

Chris or Sam What is the plan for Dinner up at Wells Lake???

 

Works for me. Do you feel like camping when we hit Kamloops or do you have friends/family you can hang out with? We have a friend that we can call on but not sure if they'll have room for all of us.

Have you done your breathers yet? Work has been nuts lately but I am planning on taking Thursday off anyway otherwise I'll never get out of here on Friday.

 

My wife and I plan to camp. She wants to hit the shops and we'll probably catch a flick or see the sights as we only get outta PG about once a year. I haven't done my breathers yet. I'm officially on holidays so any time this week is good for me. I'm glad you reminded me of that cause I forgot about doing it.

I know there has been some discussion about gerry cans and fuel. I picked up a 20L can today. Should that suffice or should I maybe pick up a second can?

 

A 20L should be fine as we will top up the JK's at the Husky station before we hit the trail head.

 

Great! Thanks!

 

That's good. A 20L is what I'm bringing too.
