Justin: thanks for the map.

Cheers

Excellent, good to have you all along. Ryan, no worries, we will meet you along the way (from Nunavut, are you crazy!).

Just a reminder for everyone, you may have to leave extra time to get across town to Squamish in the Thursday morning rush hour, better to get there early and relax. We need to leave at 9.30am sharp to make the other meet times along the way.

If you arrive late for some reason and we have already left Squamish, just go straight to Pemberton and catch us up.

cheers,
Andy
PS - the most forgotten item on a trip like this apparently is Toilet Paper! :shock: Dont forget yours :pottytrain5: .... (there is a "rustic" out house at each of our overnight camp sites)

Hey Andy.


Unfortunately I will not make the run this weekend as I am just to tired to make it. Safe travels and hopefully see you on the next run.

[ScottD]

Ok, had a overheating problem, All sorted now. Looks like I will be able to still catch up with you all at camp Tonight.

[ScottD]

We are home,safe and sound. made it as far as boston bar. :D

Ok who was in the dark colour DII that passed me Westbound at 1315 hrs today with the roof tent just East of Bridal Falls? You had a big blue cloud of oil smoke spewing out....

Beautiful areas, great company. Henry and I had a great time. I've just about got all that dust from big bar out of my nose! Henry gave his brother and mom a full trip report within the first 15 minutes of being home (the unimog featured heavily). After stopping to watch a UBC group tagging spawning salmon just outside lilloet, lunch in Squamish and a few "delays" on the highway we managed to get home by 8. Will definitely return to this area for more exploring. Thanks to all involved on this trip.

That was me, and yes, I was spewing out oil..desperately trying to get home before it was all gone. Leaky Valve gasket/cover or worse I suspect....

We made it home safely! It was one of the most awesome 4x4 trips I took part in. Thank you guys for organizing it! It was good to meet all of you, sure we would like to join more trips in the future.

Ahh it appeared to be from under rather than tail pipe. Glad you made it!

Well that was certainly an great adventure! Awesome group, (although 21 trucks made for some interesting logistics) we completed the 4 day wilderness loop a little battered but still smiling. The weather was awesome, 4 days of glorious sunshine (we had a high of 38 degs and a low of -2 degs one night). We had some breakdowns, some challenges with the terrain, some frustrating moments for sure .... But when you look back on it, that's what makes it all more satisfying when the challenge is completed.
Tons of high-lights including, mind blowing scenery, challenging terrain, great laughs around the camp fire, many happy moments to look back on.
Thanks to all those who participated on our clubs 30th anniversary off road adventure.
Justin & Julian and George & Katrina, amazing photos, thanks for sharing. Let's get all the other photos sent in so we can all relive the journey....

Now, I had better start planning the 40th club anniversary run .... Ummmm
Cheers,
Andy

PS- Scott, sorry you didn't make it to the meeting point, (not for lack of trying eh!)
PPS- Matt, glad you made the Ferry, it was great having little Henry along.

The Disco has been undergoing a bunch of repairs for the past couple of months. I am sad to have missed this event. Looks like everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly from the looks of the pics. My Disco is up and running and I am looking forward to joining some of the events in the future months.

Sue and I were sorry to have missed the last day as I had to catch a flight. But the trip was stunning, with great company.
Many thanks to all who made this a very memorable trip, and a big woof to O'Doul for keeping the bears at bay at night.
Eric.

A big thank you to Andy and Chris for all their effort in making this an awesome run. The scenery was stunning and the weather was perfect. In my opinion, the ability to get to the places we did is one of the best reasons for owning a Land Rover... or a Mog...

Thanks again Andy and Chris

I second this, Andy you did a great job at keeping all of us in check, thanks for all the work you put into this. And to Chris, I think we all owe you a beer for sucking dust for 4 days straight.

Thanks to all for having a Mog in your mix, hope I did not annoy all of you with my mog speed.

[chrismac]

Mog envy :lol:
Always glad to be of service....looking forward to our next outing!
