Hi Again and sorry for the long absence.
Well everything has been going alright, busy as usual.
Well before I get back to my adventures I thought I would mention one of the items I always have with me.
It is what I call my RV First Aid Kit.
It started out as an old tackle box I had, and has increased in size to a small tool box.
Here are some of the must have items that need to be in it.
First off you need a good pair of wire cutters.
Next you need...

More BC Adventures and a close call.
Circa 1978.
Well exploring British Columbia became one of my favorite summer pastimes. When vacation time came I usually went north to explore the lakes and back roads of beautiful BC.
I traveled up Highway 97 numerous times to Prince George and beyond but I had never taken any of the roads to go to the coast. Looking at my British Columbia map I saw a road heading west from Williams Lake all the way to a place called Bella Coola....

THE DIRT ROAD FROM HELL
Well off we went after a great breakfast of Wild Huckleberry pancakes and coffee.
As I mentioned before in my last post, the mud that I encountered was nothing like I had seem before.
This stuff stuck to everything, quickly filling the tire treads and making driving very tricky. Just like driving in snow.
So off we went putting my Dodge Ramcharger in four wheel drive and taking my...

My Love of Dirt Roads
Looking back at my RV travels it seems that I have always been looking for that off the beaten track experience. Wanting to fish those lakes that few other people dared to explore.
The ones that were only fished by the hardy and fearful (stupid)
Well that meant those lakes that were only accessible by the dirt road.
The further off the road the better. That meant that the fish had to be bigger and more of them. Sometimes that was true other...

As you see form my last post, I fell in love with the concept of camping with a trailer and exploring up north in British Columbia Canada.
The Little Loafer served us well and we were sad to see it go, but we were looking forward to trying out our new Prowler trailer.
So out came the map of BC and the wife and I started to plan our next area of travel.
We were happy with the way our Jeep pulled the trailer, but we had to invest it a good load leveler...
