date: Aug. 18, 2013

Pretty much anything is "capable" of Britannia - we saw some guy with a ZIPcar heading down the road past "the deck" to do some shooting in the logged-out area.

[Geoc]

Finally... yes pls

A lot of people tend to overestimate the trails (me included). My bro-in-law went on a logging road in a golf and he made through no problem. It was funny because he saw trucks that got stuck along the way.

I'm but will need notice, I have lots of travel ahead for work.

Will I be able to make it in my ITR on race slicks? :badpokerface:

can you? yes.

should you? most definitely yes.

bring out the ITR and lets see what that bad boy can do when it leaves the pavement.

i might be in on this depending on the date. pretty busy in August so i'd need a heads up.

[corollagtSr5]

I would be down too, depending on the date.

[sleepywheel]

I've got the tire groover, and we'll turn those race slicks into traction tires!:lawl:

[Matlock]

Would my SX4 with Yokohama Geolanders be able to do this trail?
Manual trans + awd (can switch to awd lock)

A lot of guys from sx4club.com take sx4s offroad...

The only thing is I don't have skid plate or lift kit yet...

[Geoc]

If a zipcar can, I'm sure a sx4 would be no problem

[Matlock]

Sweet! Then, I can probably tag along if you guys do a weekend.

[T4RAWR]

matlock,

your car would make it up britannia no problems. probably wanna go slow and careful in some sections though to avoid some minor damage.

so a short cruise around britannia/furry creek and lunch at the deck?

[R&R]

Please make it a weekend so down to tag along with my f150
Posted via RS Mobile

[T4RAWR]

once something is finalized we should post in the social meets section as it gets alot more traffic than here.

maybe others will be interested.

a brief description of the trail, where to meet, what time, etc will be good

disclaimer that some damage and pinstriping could occur is important as well.

Nice, thanks.

Holy cow, I am quite excited. If my schedule actually lines up this could be awesome.

[Autorice]

i'm in if i'm in town!

[Geoc]

With the dry season, id doubt you even need 4x4. Ground clearance would be enough
we should decide the date soon, and not let it turn into a last minute thing

from the pictures it looks super stock friendly.

I will be out of the country Aug 14-17 if that means anything to anyone.

Otherwise, good to go!

What kind of things should we or I bring?

i can feel your excitement reach me through the internet and through my monitor, grab me by the shoulders and shake me screaming "IM SO FUCKING EXCITED"

:lawl:

there should be enough recovery equipment and people there so, lunch, drinks, a camera and some spare clothes will probably be all you need. a gps if you want to save the way points for future use.

[emtee_23]

whoa..this thread caught up quick...lol imma try and answer all the questions as much as possible, but lemme know if i missed out..

-yes its stock friendly (seen smaller suv's go up there too (rav4))
-i will be carrying recovery equipment/tools but others should bring some too just as a precaution.
-drinks/food/bbq stuff is a must
-pinstriping will be present if your not carefull
-i WILL be a weekend (TBA)
-any type of vehicle will make it up with the dry season (smaller cars will have to be slow and steady)

we will not force anyone to do something their not comfortable doing, so if it does come across one of us, then one of us will sure have an extra spot in our car for that individual. this will be a typical day trip if we decide to leave at 10ish. duzn't take long to explore the area. I was thinking MAYBE the first weekend of August...probably a sunday (still under discussion)

Mike

[Geoc]

2nd weekend of august?:badpokerface:

[Matties]

I would be completely down for this... As soon as my Escape is up and running... (so anything after next weekend :) )

Is this going to be a family friendly event so I can have my son tag along? lol Or is T4 going to show up in a thong?? :nyan:

Yes This will be a family friendly meet. Bring your wife/girlfriend/son/daughter/dog.

Once we have a date finalized we will start a list of who is coming. Im excited for this meet, its been talked about for a while and hopefully we can have a good turn out.

cheers

[Soundy]

Just seen on BCJC:

The Britannia Mine is owned and managed by the Province of British Columbia and is regulated subject to an approved Mines Act permit. Access is restricted and approval to enter onto the mine can only be granted by the Britannia Mine Manager. All other access is considered trespass. This includes access via the Furry Creek Forest Service Road off of the Sea to Sky Highway, as well as access via the gate above the community of Britannia Beach.

Access to the site is restricted to protect both the general public and the mine workers from hazards associated with the abandoned mine infrastructure, as well as the ongoing remedial operations. These operations include site investigations, monitoring programs, road maintenance, road reactivation and deactivation, and the disposal of waste sludge generated by the mine site’s water treatment plant. That sludge is transported via mining trucks from the town site to the top of Jane Basin where it is disposed of at an approved landfill.

Please note that any unauthorized access to a mine, including the Britannia Mine, is a contravention of the Mines Act Regulation and Code and is considered an offence under the Act. An offence is liable to fines and penalties.

[R&R]

massive killjoy.
Posted via RS Mobile

[T4RAWR]

we could still head up furry creek, just not to the mines.

elaho tour might work as a backup.

[PinoyDrifta]

Well there goes the plan of going there. We're taking request. I was thinking of the elaho FSR, explore a little and find this Elaho Giant. We can check out peaches and Creme falls as well as elaho sand bar. What do y'all think?
Posted via RS Mobile

[T4RAWR]

elaho sandbar sounds fine too me.

good place to bbq

[xilley]

Nooo, was pretty excited to go britannia

[R&R]

Elaho is fine - and dusty

[PinoyDrifta]

Yeah that's the thing if we do elaho we would have to drive with spacing.

everyone on a gmrs with the lead truck doing call outs.

[PinoyDrifta]

^yes.
Posted via RS Mobile

[Geoc]

can you drive on the sandbar?

I have a feeling this meet will be a trap, and the organizers will just lead us to whipsaw or stave lake and watch as everyone dies.

[Matties]

hahah! that would be epic.... you guys are going to keep me in the loop though BEFORE that happens right? :badpokerface:

[Zedbra]

there is a road from Pemberton down to Stave Lake. Takes at least 8 hours, most people camp it out over night

[Soundy]

Sure you're not thinking of Harrison Lake? The West Harrison - Pemberton route is well-known. Never heard of one between Stave and Pemberton.

[Geoc]

This thread seems all too quiet. So I am going to throw this out here:

I'm planning to cruise through some light trails along east harrison on perhaps 9th or 10th. If anyone is available please lemme know.

Note: I'll be clueless about the route myself, but it shouldn't be too bad.

[T4RAWR]

^dont go solo.

[Geoc]

^dont go solo.

Not even the main routes?

[91civicZC]

If a day meet (10am-7pm?) weekend meet ever happens, I’d love to push the CRV a little just to see what it can take. Really don’t feel comfortable going alone, and I don’t know the roads. If any of the true 4 wheelers are still interested in doing this, I would try and show up for sure.

[Soundy]

My son has a '98 CR-V, would be interesting to see how yours does on such a run.

[T4RAWR]

Not even the main routes?

i dont recommend going anywhere for the first time alone.

thats just my opinion, you dont have to actually listen to it.

and by solo i meant alone as in just yourself. you can go in one vehicle but i suggest bringing some friends who can get out to help push or stack rocks or do whatever if something arises.

safety in numbers, etc

[emtee_23]

lol sorry for being MIA....been busy with work and had not enuff time to look into this since britannia is out the doors...PinoyDrifta and i were discussing and hopefully figured out a date to accommodate others..

plan is "ELAHO" (just off squamish main) i'm unsure of this place but PinoyDrifta sure is since he suggested it. this'll be a day event so we would like to leave early in the morning 9ish.

date: Aug. 18, 2013
meet prior to run: Petro Canada/711 off the hwy (Hwy99 and Garibaldi way)

questions/confirmation/coordination/suggestions/etc.......direct it to either me/PinoyDrifta

[emtee_23]

Not even the main routes?

regardless...you shouldn't be riding solo...just my 2cents

[PinoyDrifta]

This is an easy trek just logging roads but there are a bunch off trails that leads into wherever. There is a place called elaho sandbar where we can actually drive on if water is low. I've never been up that far but I've heard it can be pretty fun. Can test ur vehicle pretty good. More of an exploring trip/cruise. Lots of great views and picture opportunity. Any other questions I can definately try to answer.

For those that can make it th list starts here.

you'll be fine, just need to go slow, i'd suggest running second last in the line with an experienced person picking up the tail end.


that way you wont impede the flow of traffic for the more capable vehicles as things come up and the experienced person at the very end can help incase something happens.

Doubt that helped :lol: but between five or six attempts to just get past the bottom of "the short way" up from Hale, and then getting bitchslapped by "the moguls" up the other way... I think they took a pretty good beating just trying to get home :heckno:

Not that the shocks were in very good shape to begin with...

[Zedbra]

Talked to my neighbour (he's with Forestry), got all the details as to which bridges to cross to get to the waterfall (I always seem to forget), plus the beach you can drive down onto, right up top the river. Its a ways up the valley, but the reward should be worth the drive

Three weeks into the discussion and 12 days before hand, you and one other change the location because it will "probably be better".

This is why GTGs and Social Meets fail all the time - lack of organization. Get a plan, organize, stick to the plan, success.

I dunno which other social meets you have been to that fail, but I know for sure that this meet will still be going on wether or not 2 people show up.
I'm changing the location for a much better experience for all you guys. Be thankful that me and Mike decided to put something like this together.

New location is Chilliwack River Valley.
Meeting at tim hortons off of 200 st in Langley right by the hwy.
We are still meeting at 0900. Nothing Major has really changed its still going to be a good time.
Honestly I don't see anything wrong with this.
We're headed into chilliwack up to some nice view points and to end the trip were driving towards Foley Lake.
Roads are fine, gravel roads some pot holes but nothing too crazy.

Foley Lake: The Horror! May 22nd 2010 (http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35265)

about mid way down.


thats pretty much what it looks like every time i've gone.

its like stave or hale during grad season.


edit:

also, my 2 cents are, if a consensus was made and a destination chosen then it should be stuck with. changing locations on a whim is annoying. if there was a legit reason for a change in venue like the closure of the forest service road or whatever then fair enough.

elaho/squish valley is a good day out and alot more fun than chilliwack valley. i've driven up folley, chipmunk and the entire length of the chilliwack fsr. gets boring. great views but gets boring. more of a sunday drive with the wife type place.

We will leave it as planned for Elaho Valley. If people are not happy with the changes we will try and accommodate everyone as best as we can. Honestly if we go to elaho or foley it don't really matter. But if people have problems with changes the that's fine we will stick with original plan. I just thought it would better. Didn't think people would be so bitter about it.

Foley Lake: The Horror! May 22nd 2010 (http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=35265)

about mid way down.


thats pretty much what it looks like every time i've gone.

its like stave or hale during grad season.


edit:

also, my 2 cents are, if a consensus was made and a destination chosen then it should be stuck with. changing locations on a whim is annoying. if there was a legit reason for a change in venue like the closure of the forest service road or whatever then fair enough.

elaho/squish valley is a good day out and alot more fun than chilliwack valley. i've driven up folley, chipmunk and the entire length of the chilliwack fsr. gets boring. great views but gets boring. more of a sunday drive with the wife type place.

For what it's worth, I've taken my slammed Accord out to Foley Lake a few times now. It's not a fast drive but I made it without any issues. I know this is supposed to be a stock and noob meet but I think it might be a little too basic.

Was hoping more for Elaho or something a little harder. :okay: Lots of good FSR's out past Hope... :fullofwin:

[emtee_23]

I was planning on brining my bbq too and smokies and burgers..

[Soundy]

I'll have to skip this - forgot I had a prior commitment for the 18th.

Why the @#*& does everyone insist on doing long wheeling drives on SUNDAYS??? I'm always so bagged by the time I get home, and I have to work the next day :P I'm OLD, dammit! :lawl:

[emtee_23]

Cuz sunday is the day the mrs is at work while i go out and play with the jeep..haha and if i did it on a saturday (knowing its all fsr) shes gonna want to drive it/learn how to drive manual...NO thankyou! gotta show her the ropes on pavement FIRST!

[Brianrietta]

Going to be no shortage of BBQ's :fullofwin: I think I'm coming out from Ross Lake that morning so it'll be a really long day.. Should be fun though.

So the general meeting is at 9am, roughly how long of a trek is this? As in, what time do we expect to hit the main roads on the way back home?

Need to do some time management on my end…..

This is an all day thing General meet is at 0900 probably leave for the trail at no later than 0945 or sooner then head into the trails. We could be back on main roads by late afternoon early evening.

Sounds like a plan. Really hope I can make it. I just dug out one of my old uniden 2 way radios, Ill have to figure out what else to bring for food and such. Can the route be seen on Google maps or anything?

Sorry guys, the schedule for hockey playoffs is out and I have 2 games that day. Gonna have to miss this meat.

[emtee_23]

Gonna have to miss this meat.

lol so your still down for the off road meet i assume?!

[T4RAWR]

a little rain just makes the trail more interesting.

atleast the road wont be dusty.

[Matlock]

How much of the day will this take to do? Just wondering as I may have to go to something at night.

[Zedbra]

It's about an hour drive to the Elaho beach, perhaps a little longer.

[emtee_23]

atleast the road wont be dusty.

Agreed! i've had my share of following in the dust and sucks ass! one guy crashed into incoming traffic due to dust and lack of visibility...he hit the trailer he was hauling just around a bend on a fsr heading up to west Harrison...driver front end was totaled and axle was pushed in 3-4" on one side..:lawl:

[T4RAWR]

Sounds like daredevils swb jk lol

[Prolowtone]

:( might not be able to go..

[yoall]

This sound like fun.

I think my stock CX7 should be able to make it there and back.

Ill join the list. see you guys there in the morning.

[Geoc]

bought a couple packs bbq sausages. Figured it wouldn't be proper to come empty handed.

[T4RAWR]

it'll make it just fine.

Took me sometime to convince my wife. Lol

If I can make it, I’ll see you guys at the PetroCan at 9 AM. If not, have a safe and fun day!

[Brianrietta]

I guess I won't be coming out though I did get the steering firgured out. Put the CJ up for sale last Sunday and figured I'd get it out one more time before I sold it but a guy came up from Puyallup and basically bought it sight unseen on Monday.

Have fun guys! Bring back pics like this that was taken back in the good old days.

You'll have to thank her for me! Awesome pics. I can't imagine how long that took. I was angry at Photobucket and I uploaded 32...



The day started with Phil being too cool to air down with us:

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000799_zps5d228fff.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000799_zps5d228fff.jpg.html)

Followed by spectacular BC scenery as to be expected:

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000800_zpsd5601eab.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000800_zpsd5601eab.jpg.html)

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000807_zpsce27085a.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000807_zpsce27085a.jpg.html)

We stopped to take some pictures of the bee bridge of death:

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000813_zpsdfa24b6c.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000813_zpsdfa24b6c.jpg.html)

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000821_zps275d6583.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000821_zps275d6583.jpg.html)

Hundreds, maybe millions of bees made their home in/under/around that bridge and they weren't pleased that we were interrupting them. I think we managed to get away with only one sting (to the forehead) and the loss of our dignity from the bee avoidance/swatting dance that we were all doing. Our dance did not appease the bee gods so we carried on our way.

[Brianrietta]

During a brief stop at a roadside waterfall I took this shot, in my sole attempt to be artsy rather than simply holding my blackberry out the window of my moving vehicle hoping the image stabilization was going to clear up my photos, of which sadly the bumpy road took it's toll on. I miss having such a photogenic vehicle:

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000830_zpsb2114de3.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000830_zpsb2114de3.jpg.html)

We eventually made it to Peaches and Cream Falls:

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000850_zps36dca85a.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000850_zps36dca85a.jpg.html)

Very refreshing regardless of the weather not really calling for a refreshing water spray. After the falls we headed down to a sandbar on the Elaho river to have some lunch. This was our first opportunity to really see some mud:

Down at the river we took some photos and fooled around a bit:

While the 4Runner, Cherokee, Frontier, AND CX-7 WUT went sailing, a documentary crew managed to get this prime shot of the Jeep Wrangler in it's natural habitat:

(and I don't mean a mall parking lot this time)

[Brianrietta]

BBC Nature also got this picture of the lurking Frontier (which means Lion in Swahili¹), waiting to pounce on it's unsuspecting prey:

And how exciting, here we see it splashing around attempting to intimidate it's competition, the Toyota:

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x108/Brianrieta/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000895_zps2cc3d026.jpg (http://s180.photobucket.com/user/Brianrieta/media/Squamish%20and%20Elaho%20CSI%20RS%20SUV%20NCIS/IMG_00000895_zps2cc3d026.jpg.html)

The unflappable 4Runner is unfazed however:

[Brianrietta]

I'm reasonably certain that Phil gets stuck like this (maybe not quite like this) on a semi-regular basis but this time he had the misfortune to do it in front of a bunch of RS'ers with cameras:

Here we see Geoc's Jeep, I mean, Merc logging up:

Eventually we settled down for some group photo action:

Mine are mostly taken from such an angle that you can't see the fact that part of my passenger side fender flare is missing. Automotive myspace angles... At least there's no such thing as automotive duckface (too soon junior) (http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/comment/12/2011/01/00cb48eecae80f41a9e4b89c5c313146/original.jpeg).

Thank you, fourth grade teacher for ensuring that I know that this rare Muddin' ML Merc is alliteratively awesome:

On our way out we grabbed a few last shots, aired up at the trailhead (thank you, Jeeps for your gracious gift of air) and headed out after a fantastic 8 hours with some great trucks and some new friends. And also Phil.

Thanks again PinoyD and Emtee for pushing for and putting this together. See you guys and hopefully a bunch of new faces out there again soon!

And now I'm going to pass out because I've been up for 21 hours.

I'm reasonably certain that Phil gets stuck like this (maybe not quite like this) on a semi-regular basis but this time he had the misfortune to do it in front of a bunch of RS'ers with cameras:

Don't be too hard on Phil; this is actually pretty common for XJ guys. They see the Wranglers do it and get all sorts of delusions...

Great pics - love the commentary :fullofwin: Wish I could have made it!

[yoall]

Great meet and great pictures guys. I cant wait to see the video again when we all came out off the river.

Thank you all for sharing your time and knowledge with us noobs.

My wife and I had a blast.

[T4RAWR]

:fullofwin:

[91civicZC]

Sooooo wish I could have gone. Looks like it was tons of fun. Here’s hoping that someone decides to do this again and I can go next time!

[Phil@rise]

[sdubfid]

brianrietta how hardcore are you into amateur radio?

[Zedbra]

We weren't sure who was going to venture into the sand first. Phil made that decision easy.

Watch how BCJEEP represents. (Spoiler - stay dry, park on a stump, get buddies to admire). Watch how Mazda represents. It was a wtf moment.

Was there salmon in that river?

No. Its far above any salmon spawning grounds. You will find some river trout tho.

[Brianrietta]

brianrietta how hardcore are you into amateur radio?

Not exceedingly, I haven't even put a rig in the new 4Runner yet. It's a 1/4 a hobby (who doesn't like gadgets), 1/4 clear trail communication, 1/2 a better way of calling out of the bush when I solo trip. Academically radio and antenna theory, signal propagation, etc are quite interesting to me as well though. I remember when I was a kid over on the island at my uncle's cabin we were able to chat with a guy in Maine one night which was obviously pretty cool and that piqued my interest in it.

We used to go sit up on Skyline Drive or Queen E. and talk skip to guys all over the states on our CBs back in the day... even got a trucker in S. Carolina for a little while once. Knew one guy who claimed he stuck his magmount to a carbide-tip saw blade, set it in the wet dewy grass, and talked to Hawaii. Skip is fun :)

[Brianrietta]

Yeah, it's fascinating. I think my uncle's furthest contact was a lady in Scotland on 10m. He said that it's a good thing that they had a really clear signal because he could just barely understand her accent. :lawl:

[murd0c]

fuck phil when didn't you let me know you were going?

[Phil@rise]

you would have come? You've only got your truck dirty once that I know of you should be a bcjeepclub member lol

[murd0c]

yes I would of come....

[Phil@rise]

well were in the midst of planning another lol
