Cleaning up the rig and gear after an epic Canadian adventure with new friends.

Hey! This looks like a great trip. I'm glad there was still space available. One Question - One Offer 1. Any chance we can make a 15 minute stop at the Banff NP Visitor Center? (assuming we will be driving past or near it) 2. If you need an extra set of hands to mount that tent I saw in the...

I’ve been wanting a clean smooth surface on my tailgate. There is a company that makes these for Toyotas, but nothing I could find for an older F-150. Phase 1 was to remove the easy up handle and plastic cover to see if this project was even possible. I found a place online that would custom...

Another successful run in the books! My homemade bedrack held up beautifully, the rig performed well, I got to test out some new recovery equipment, and figured out some organizational challenges I was experiencing.

Trail rig is ready to go. Time to load up and go test my welds on the newly fabricated bed rack.

I don’t have any other routes really. I’m down here from Washington, and was just following a track I downloaded from overland trail guides.

I'm looking at GAIA GPS with the snow level map turned on. It's showing me a lot of the route is still under snow. We still have a week, so my fingers are crossed. Anybody local have a better idea what the situation will be? Hungaletti will probably be the highest point at over 9000 ft...

There are open spots. Jump on in! I’m not super interested in winching my way through snowfields. I can do that at home. ;) See you at the rally point.

If the roads are open, the trip is on. With a 244% of average snowpack, I have no idea if these roads are drivable until I see them. It had to be moved back a couple days from the original plan and now launches on Sunday.

Thanks I’m fine, just super busy. I have my regular job, a side hustle, farm animals, a kid in college, and a house that needs more maintenance and yard work than I can possibly keep up with. That June weekend is free-ish I have a gig the following week and a California/Yosemite trip the week...

Looks like I won’t be able to make it at all now. If anybody would like to take the lead, I’ll assign you admin of the event. If nobody responds by Tuesday morning I have to cancel.

Hey Guys I've had a change in plans that will prevent me from staying the night. I was counting on Dan to lead this and he hasn't signed up yet. As of right now, I can go for a few hours on Saturday but I'll need to turn back by 2:00 at the latest.

I just posted the RP for the May meetup

Tentatively planning a Sat-Sun overnight trip scouting in the area of Walupt Lake. View Rally Point

Not immediately available. We’ll chat in the morning and see what everybody is in the mood for. We’ll get into snow pretty quickly.

Near the gas station I’ll be in a gray Tacoma. Bed rails, but no tent.

I can’t do the camp. Have to work my side hustle on Saturday. I’ll be there Sunday with a couple interesting ideas in mind. I pushed the time back just a smidge.

I just posted in a different forum, but I don’t have time to pre scout a location. How about if we meet at the Enumclaw Safeway and see what we find? Could be awesome, could be a dud.
