    never herd that name, where's it at?
    I went to the zoo the other day. The only animal there was a dog. For sure it was a Shitzoo.

    Barkerville over the yanks peak to Likely. Will be going thru on saturday, I will probably check the snow conditions and be forced to go around Mathew valley rd. around cariboo lake to likely.

    Good ride. I don't remember the elevation but my gut says 'too early'.

    Say hi to Ethyl for me.

    I heard there was a massive slide on the 3100 rd, I take you were able to get through - where about is the slide .

    any idea on the status of the Yanks Peak route, I'm hoping to go through later next week.

    At the advice of locals I avoided the Yanks Peak route (still possible snow) and took the 3100 rd . I had some challange getting through the deactivation ditch at km 21 but made it. I hope to try Yanks Peak before the end of this season.

    Got within about 8-10 km of the top this last week. Had to turn around as my riding parter hit his engine case pretty bad and it started to weep oil. This was at the 4700 ft elevation. Can you believe he made it that far....on a Vstrom 1000. I was on my klr 650 and scouted ahead and found the next big hill probably would have shut down the 1000 for sure so we headed back down. The deactivation ditch looks easily passible now on anything considered dual sport.
