Hey guys

Hey guys, Im new to BC. I moved here from saskatchewan, and Im still an active member in the sask/manitoba chapter, pretty good guys in there! I drive a 97 ford 1/2 ton 4x4 but looking to sell it and get a PSD. I moved to chilliwack, and hope that someone else comes in this chapter from time to time, as I like to post, even if its about nothing

Thats cool first, you must be from kamloops area? And 93, chilliwack is by abbotsford, down by the border, about 45 minutes or so from vancouver on the number 1. Its pretty nice here, lots of mountains and stuff! Definatly a different kind of nice compared to good ol flat sask!

well actually im about an hour past kamloopps. the best time someone in our family has made was 3 1/2 hours from salmon arm to abbotsford in an escort with a 5 speed. and that was with one stop as well, not even straight through. after that she got wise as to how we figured it out. she may have even done better...........interesting. whereabouts in chilliwack are you?

Nice to see some action on this site. I have been away for work (in Chilliwack actually, go figure) and some vacation so I have not been on in awhile.

Post away and I will be tossing in my 2 bits as well. Welcome to BC.

I guess I should check this forum more often, last checked in July I think...

I'm in the 'Wack too, 5 min from the highway in the flat part, I miss the hills of Mission, there is no challenge for riding a bike around here, I'm not extreme, I just like riding up the loggin roads and then coasting down the other side, riding on flats means I'm always pedaling with no coasting...

I don't bicycle as much as much as I used too, I need to pick up a new helmet...

Granpa Simpson, "...a helmet a man could detonate a grenade under & live to cook soup in 5 minutes later, a gooooood lemon soup, made with lemons from right here in Springfield...until Shelbyville stole our tree, I had to use my belt to knock those lemons down, a good belt, I got it from Buster Hatfield in the fall of ooouuught '32, speaking of onions I once saw a cat climb a laundry rope, we were too poor to have lines then, we had to wait in 'que' for our bread to be slopped in our bowls, nothing could be cooked as there was a war going on we ate our bread with some nice vinigrette of which we had a surplus for sooooome months which seemed like days...Then we got the lemons and put them in our shoes that had no soles to them so we could walk without stepping on dogs tails..."

Lisa, "Granpa what was the point of that story?"

Granpa, "Story? I was watching the radio hour."

Lisa, "The radio's not on..."

Granpa, "Ohhhh...lets go to Chilliwack!"

Belated Welcome to B.C. (& the 'Wack) to preppypro

I guess you will have to trade all your tackle from pike and walleye gear to salmon gear, eh? And from big whitetails to small blacktails

I don't think that I could ever get used to 400000000 people on the Fraser for sockeye. There are some nice places once you head up towards the Okanagan and into Princeton that are not as crowded.

I just got some photos from my buddy in Fort Mac and he was fishing in N Sask and sent me some photos of the pike he caught. They were monsters. As big as chinooks but with major attitude
