Ableguy Wow, high (and incredibly detailed..) praise for this little corner of the world! I see our local CofC is hiring a summer touristy staff person. You would be a shoo-in for the job! I could make a couple of calls....... PS: As good as NBC is, don't forget to check out the AH in...

Another mine, this one from the glory days when silver ruled in South Central BC's Kootenays... Speaking of the glory days, Sandon, the small village near this mine is the home to one of the longest continually running hydro power plants in north america. The plant was installed 124 years ago...

Same problem with us and interior condensation, just a different location at the back door. The aluminium extrustions on both the door and door frame, go fully uninterupted from outside to inside, thus..... Working on an insulation fix now, a bit easier than yours with only stepped flat...

Cydeps Another user of the camper/truck bed gap here. You probably already know this but the remote sensor transmits just fine through a watertight plastic container. I have used the same baking powder jar with a screw lid for 10+ years. Initially, I made an extra lid gasket out of a bike...

Pushing the "roads to no where" yesterday, a little bit early to be up high with still too much avalanche debris, two difference slides...... But back in the river valley, April is the best time to be in an Interior Temperate Rain Forest so as to avoid being sliced and diced by the still...

We tried through our HH insurance but the Calgary based adjuster just could not get her head around the circumstances and it seemed that if there was no box on their form that said, "just flew away from their stuff" it wasn't going to happen. Trying to explain that we actually did just leave...

PNy Absolutely on the gear. Some factory somewhere is making some more shiny stuff for us. And of course, had we had your field medical diagnostic expertise, we would not even be having this conversation:)!!!

Don't Do it......... Just a couple of photos for a diversion from the usual EXP stuff. Last summer, my "co-paddler" and I had to abandon our kayaks and gear while nearing the end of a trip circumnavigating Great Slave Lake in the NWT. This was some 70 kms across the lake from Yellowknife. We...

Aha. Probably a little late now but we would highly recommend the pizza from the bar/restaurant that is in the little shopping area "downtown".......!

Excellent advice for/from the north! where are you cooling your heels waiting for fuel?

Sorry for the delay in answering. I have not had the CPT camper in any really serious winter conditions yet but in conditions well into the freezing range, all has been fine. I think I mentioned that my camper was basically a prototype and I believe the new ones are much improved. Mine had...

Looking Great! We have been watching the temps so looking pretty good. Nice to see some sun and blue sky! Dean, On a semi-relative note to "Ice,Baby,Ice" and not to highjack your thread :) but we got some great news tonight. Our friends just did the 140 km return sled trip across to the...

Good news DM sent and a bunch of contact info on it's way.....

I'm on it!! I'll either post something here or phone you later today. -16 there this morning, time to crack out the tshirts!!

So you guys were down by the Airport. The lake is looking considerable less "liquid" than when were there in August! Our friend has the small airline compound right behind the airport terminal parking and we have left our vehicle there a couple of times. Sure fun to walk around all those old...
