Here are a few pics from today......Went up to Hut Lake, Sebastien and I had to do some serious bush clearing for about an hour if we didn't want to have permanent deep scratches....it was a good workout, so the trail is now 3/4's cleared.....trail is not that difficult....only a couple play areas....one section at the head, and one spot at the end by the lake.

I managed to have the lucky 3 strikes of bad luck today.......

-smacked my front passenger fender on a tree (while I was looking out my window at my back tire going over a huge rock) broke a few clips still on , and not dented though.
-Left my $45 axe up at the lake, and didn't realize until we were out, and back in Squamish airing up.
-My electric Sway bar disconnect refuses to re-attach.....I tried everything to get it hooked back up...but it will not....my JK has started to do this worse each time....and today it doesn't want to re-attach.... I can feel and hear it trying to engage, but it will not......

All in all it wasn't too bad..... We tried to then go up to Starvation Lake after hooking up with a co-worker in his FJ.....only made it a few kms up the the trail to the train track crossing, but it is now completely blocked off with a huge Concrete wall.....obvious done by the railway.....and no way around.....

So we took a few poser shot down by the river, where the Salmon run is in full effect.....

Here are a few pics of the day....had some good 3 wheelin action up at the lake on the this rock wall...











Cont......

Yup, it was soo bad......we went about half way...then bit the bullet, and cleared like madmen....I have pruning sheers, and (used to have a sweet Axe)an axe to clear up.....I think a full size F350 could fit now with out scratches after the halfway point....maybe next time someone else will the the first part....

Ya, Seb's rig looks good....makes me jealous....I really have to get the 4 inch LA soon.....but it's sooooo freakin expensive.....but I will get it soon enough.....not sure though if I will install one until spring though.....we will see..
