The west coast of Vancouver Island


 DH#1 looking North on Kootenay Lake

[chomy]

The west coast of Vancouver Island


 Alphabet man that is the east coast of the island at Qualicum Beach at the bottom of Memorial Av and Hwy 19A. The view is looking across the strait to Denman and Hornby islands,   something I have to put up with on a daily basis,   life is so hard some days.

[GooseMan]

ugh...people who live on the west coast AND have blue Sprint ST's make me jealous

Mmmmmm...........pictures of triples make me randy baby....yaaaaah!

This is the west coast of Vancouver Island. Tofino in the distance and Chesterman beach closer up. The scale is deceiving.

Highway 3 Anarchist Pass near Osoyoos

[Somebuddy]

First ride last year, believe this is just north of Banff 50klm or so.  A little chilly through here but not bad on the bike.

[Bearly Flying]

The late, Great corner of Coffee Creek on 3A. Still fun, just not as treacherous.

That corner is just South of Kaslo isn't it???

Lots of fun at night, in the rain, when you hit the wooden bridge deck mid corner.....

[bubba zanetti]

That corner is just South of Kaslo isn't it???

Yes south of Kaslo but just south of Ainsworth. The wooden bridge is no more and has been replaced by a wider, more engineered concrete structure.


Typical sign along Kootenay roads.



The beach along Arrow Lake in Castlegar

[Kootenanny]

Bubba, you might just wanna check some of your route numbers...

And of course one more pic--this is the Paulson bridge on Hwy 3 east of Christina Lake (sorry for the quality, I was using a poor camera at the time)

Good to see you getting good use out of your KLR!  

But.... don't you think you might want to keep the helmet closed so the branches don't whack you in the face?!  

[bubba zanetti]

Of all these ... I like the Hedley-Nickleplate Rd in the Similkameen Valley one the best from DD's set. I often travel that section of Highway 3 and long to head up that road.  

[bubba zanetti]

Yesterday, above the Malahat.

Now, I once overnighted in that wee A frame ...  I am trying to remember why or when ...

Getting back on track...

north of Stewart on the Cassiar Hwy

 When I was heading to the Yukon by myself this stretch of highway is about when I started thinking to myself.... " it must be the right road it's the only one going north"  ?????? then I stared wondering if I was a bit nuts I was friging freezing and had enough clothes on to pass for the Michelin Man"

Funny thing! I also smeared my ZX12R on the concrete barrier just around the corner from where you see the bike in the photo. Stupid 30km/h left hand corner!!!!!!

Recognize any of these spots? (no Kootenay guys on pic #1)










Just east of Vernon above Lavington

[RedNeil]

Recognize any of these spots?

I was lost until the Treehouse Cafe in Kaslo showed up.   Good to see the Mariner in the background getting reno'd as well.  Any news on that?  Is it going to be open this summer?

[Mrs. DantesDame]

I could only get this one. Any word on if/when they reopen? That's some damn fine cinnamon buns there!!!

[faststage1]

Yeah I figured you'd get that one. I can't see it re-opening, just not enough people come down that highway, and the ones that do are motorcyclists and everyone knows how cheap we typically are.

 And some damn fine pecan pancakes

That would be the steam locomotive at Sandon.  Correct?

[bubba zanetti]

Pic #4 is the little rest stop on Highway 23 along Arrow Lake, north of Nakusp heading to the ferry

You dewds are good!
One last train photo and it'll likely take the local experience of a Thompson/North Okanagan resident to get it.

I think  

Nope!

It's the Kamloops Heritage Railway steam engine that runs between Kamloops and Armstrong through the summer. The pics was taken on Hwy 97 between Monty Lake and the Hwy 1 junction. Sorry no wine on this train.
I'll try and get a shot of it this year with the bike in the foreground.

[Orson]

That brings back memories...

I was last there in 1977. My father had an old army buddy who had a nice home on the lake.

Yep.  

"The Okanagan of Vancouver Island" ... seems every time we went there, which was often, the weather was warm and the water wonderful. Sproat Lake Provincial Park has great camping and often an air show thrown in. Even on hot days the sound of those massive radials gives me goose bumps !

He (Wolfgang) also hosts a rally there every year. Sometime near mid July.

Anyone been to the badlands with their bike and camera ?
I lived in Jasper 14 years and never made it to dinosaur country.

Is there a Canadian "badlands" or are you talking about the U.S.?

Just might have to do that. It would likely be in September.

Maybe some of you have seen this sign ???  

[Kootenanny]

I really enjoyed my visit to Drumheller and the Tyrell Museum, oh, over a decade ago.  Really gotta go again sometime.  One thing I did enjoy there were the incredibly tacky dinosaur statues and murals (the high school had a mural with the stadium doors placed in the dinosaur mouth, as I recall).




Drumheller started life as a coal mining town, and there are several small ghost towns in the badlands there.  We stayed in Wayne, at the old hotel above the saloon--bedrooms were nice, bathroom down the hall...  The road to Wayne is interesting, 11 bridges in only a few km (the road keeps recrossing the same stream).

Another attraction in Alberta is Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, where the First Nations demonstrated their environmental sensitivity centuries before Europeans arrived  Definitely worth seeing--or at least, I really enjoyed my visit.  Dunno if the access road is paved yet (it wasn't when I was last there over a decade ago).

Let me know when you go, and we'll meet in Wayne.   I've heard lots about the Saloon,  they have a folk fest there sometime during the year, my brother sat in on the old rickety piano for a night.   Be warned,  you may have to share a bathroom........... it is an old hotel.

I've also never been to the Tyrell.

[bubba zanetti]

Given that Dinosaurs play a huge role in motorcycling, it might be a neat idea for a destination ride for someone to consider organizing.

You know, they could capitalize on this!  Rename their models--rather than the incomprehensible alphabet gook they use now, there could be a Triceratops (power cruiser), Diplodocus (touring bagger), Maiasaur (aimed at women), and Tryrannosaurus Road (Road King).  My Firebolt could be referred to as a Velociraptor

Helmcken Falls in Wells Gray Park

That is a beautiful area around Wells Gray  

How are the roads? Wasn't it about a year ago or so there were some major washouts ???

It was about 5 years ago that some of the bridges where wash out but they where replaced

Overlander Falls Mount Robson Provincial Park

[Kootenanny]

Overlander falls...best experienced from the seat of a kayak, IMO!

(No, I've never run the falls...but I have done the "seal launch" from the rocks on river left (on the right in the photo) when I ran the Upper Fraser river a decade or so ago.)

And of course, when I think of Wells Gray, I think of the Clearwater, one of the most fun paddling rivers in BC (or anywhere!)

A local company rents inflatable kayaks ("rubber duckies," kinda like one or two-man rafts) for the Slocan River--normally, you'd need to hire a guide, but since I'm a sometimes instructor for them they'll let me take you down
