Ama has advised motorist it could be 5 too 8 hours in our area if road side assistance is required,,, emergency call-outs are priority 1 on their list...

Our little town is in shut-down mode,,, guess ill head out too the farm and check cattle and visit with the horses...

Their definitely not interested in joining in on any of our winter ride's,,, its not that bad if a person has the time too suit up...

Purhaps we climatize too the conditions We have,,,, just like snow-boarding,,, sledding any other winter sports...

Pretty sure it's a Eastern Slopes run just above the foot-hills plateau weekend ,,, pilot the comand-center too a few staging areas and scout out a few game trails...

A over night camping trip with bon-fire at night...

I'm planning on low river bottom mtb trails with Woops & What-Nots too carve off some trails and fishing ,,, of course there will be days when i can turn up my VO-2 Max...

Kinda like this stuff that I've done threw out parts of the interior of B.C. back in the 2000's...



Ok,,, more slow """low bottom""" stuff threw the trees,,, Radium area West and Golden BC since its close too home...

Low grade terrain with some challenges along the way,,, even if i have too put the boots on the ground...

Cover a few miles ,,, stuff the bike into the forest and head in deeper on foot """if""" that be the case...

Get in on the tributarie that feed into the main rivers,,, park the @zz and throw a few hooks...

Part time given'er,,, alot of time relaxing,,, rain gear and tarp too fashion into the trees too limit the soaking... lol...

Camp out at the comand center at night
20230903_074106.jpg

Ive been known too over doo it once in awhile,,, I'm ok with that...
