Quick trip out to 'Perspiration ridge' today. Located about 17km down the buckhorn road just south of PG. Turn off to Fancis lk. Aired down to 10 psi and disconnected sway bars at Fancis, tho we could have aired down as soon as we hit the gravel road on the buckhorn, lots of pot holes.
Looked like Chris, Bill and I were in for a rainy day. Wasn't long before we were making our way up the rocky trail. Very rocky terrain! As we had neared the peak of our trip we had word, i assume on the CB, that we would be joined by Ben and Ray. I forgot to put my antenna back in after cleaning out the jeep earlier in the week.
We continued up a little more then began our way down to Frost Lake, lots of steep rutty trail and some trees that had fallen down that we could squeeze under, i was a little worried for my soft top under some of the sharp branches coming off of them.
We had a good BS session then carried on. Along the way there were signs for ATV/Snowmobile club trails that i had been on once in the past. It was a fun road, lots of little puddles and water flowing down the road as if it were a stream.
We had to stop for one downed tree across the road, chainsaw made quick work of it, then took the less traveled path out of there where the pine trees branches were tight around us. We stopped at a dump site with a few trashed old vehicles and lots of old tin cans. Then before we knew it we were back on the buckhorn at buckhorn lake. We stopped and chatted some more...
We hit the road and headed back towards the highway. We stopped at a school and aired back up and reconnected sway bars. Was a good trip, more exploring to do out that way for another day.
