Anyone have any suggestions for wheeling spots in the lower mainland? all i have found are a few spots in langley and forest service roads in chilliwack. pretty unimpressive after coming from dawson creek, where you can get stuck in the tim hortons parking lot.

 

You do much wheeling in the Tumbler Ridge area?I love it around there.I know a few folk's around the Dawson Creek area.Havn't been up there for a couple yrs though.

 

I went sledding there a few times but never went 4x4ing, my brother-in-law has tons of pics of his quadding trips down there and its just awsome. and there is lots of oilpatch activity there so there is all kinds of new trails and pipelines to follow. if i didnt work all summer i would go there in a heart beat.

 

I guess that town is starting to grow then?Last time I was there,I had quite the run in with a black bear.I'll never forget it.

 

Ya the mines are all opening up again and oilpatch is going and tourism is good ( mainly cause of the dinosours ) . a couple of my old neighbours have commercial hunting lodges up there and they are absolutly stunning

 

That sound's pretty awesome.Now your down on the coast?

 

Ya i work for a highways contractor so im staying in a hotel in langley. in the summer im all over the province.

 

Oh ya, how do you like it?I guess you are down there just for awhile.

 

Im gonna be down here till march/april then off again for 6-7 monthes. Its ok just really depressing. and then there is the language barrier. i have a hard time buying a coffee in the morning.lol

 

I know what you mean about the language barrier.Every time I get down there I just shake my head.

 

STOP buying coffee at Tim Horrible. 98.49% of the time it is crap, no one in the bloody place speaks english, and no one knows how to make a proper cup of coffee. Last Tim Horrible is NO LONGER a Canadian Company, it is owned by Wendys...

If you want a good cup of Joe in the morning, hit a Husky station. They have great coffee, hell even McDonalds is better than Timmy Ho's...

OR in Langley my favorite Java Joint is
http://ethicaladdictions.com/langleymap.php their coffee is fresh ground (by the cup)

 

lol ya i usually stop at timmy's because its on the way but i fuel up at husky's all the time. never been to that other place tho, im gonna have to check it out. tommorow i am going to sqaumish/whistler for a week and finding a good cup of coffee up there is impossible, except starbucks but my truck is worth less then the coffee there.

But Hey, if Husky isn't serving "Cuppa Joe" then hit McDonalds at least its better than Tim's

 

Ask around about strawberry island, if it is still open. government tried to shut it down but 'wheelers just kept cutting the steel gates down
