Cool trailer Dennis. We used to have a 17 1/2' 1978 Prowler we pulled with my wife's exploder. I sure like those oldies when they are in good shape.

Thanks, I painted the trailer to match the truck

It was originally white with Brown & orange trim.

Right at Field is Cathedral Mountain....where the ashes wil be sprinkled.




Then Just SE of it is Mt. Dennis

To the North ... The Spiral Tunnels...... a place I just thought was fascinating.
I was in the contruction business 23 years.

Takkakah Falls (sp)...Beautiful place to ponder life

Yoho National Park Campground also right there.....a place where I have stayed numerous times and also could have been killed by a bear attack.

I have vivid memories of everytime I went through there.

Stopping beside the highway to fill a thermos full of fresh Mt. water
Stopping for Gasoline in 1978 where they had the price of gasoline advertised at 1/2 gallon prices because the meter didn't go past 99.9.

to name a couple.

You have to get out the truck


Behind Yoho campground .....I used to spend hours sitting and watching the falls.

Last time I was there was Sep 2005.

I almost freaked as some agency was shooting car commercials right near the foot bridge.

My name is Alan and Im a Fordaholic. I had my first taste of owning a Ford truck when I was 12, it was a 73 4wd. Now a decade later (and about 10 Fords later) I have A Powerstroke F350, F150, and Bronco. The latter 2 are beaters getting fixxed up into rigs/DDs. I live in Quesnel, have 2 kids, mortgage...yadda yadda yadda

Hi All

Hi All

My name is John and I reside in Powell River, approx 100km north of Vancouver.
I drive tractor-trailor for a local recycling company.
I have owned many ford cars and trucks over the years all pre 80's and have just recently baught a '94 F150 4x4 with the 4.9 I6 , it needs a clutch job soon. I may need to pick your brains from time to time.
My Hobbies are Work, quading and some times hunting when I'm not busy working.
This site is awesome, and I look forward to conversing with you.
TTUL
John

LOL . Oh well this site's chapter appears to be lacking some die hards in BC . Possibly cuz were all broke and affected by S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) from all the friggin weather changes . Anyways , did ya all no BC now stands for "Bring Cash" . Hopefully we can get the word out to others and build our leg a little stronger , EH ?
