That's harsh.

Hwy between Lilioet and Lytton doesn't surprise me,my grill on my Tacoma was busted by a rock off that road in feb many years ago.:cry:

Avalanche is at duffy lk .snowed about 15 in in a couple hours up top out there.YA the big slide has almost taken my life a few times over the yrs ...im getting used of it ..dosnt bother me too much anymore:mrgreen:

LOL, the Big Slide is like a superhighway compared to what it was like in 1957 when I moved there. It was always the spot as kids we loved to hang our heads out the window as there were a few spots you could look straight down to the river. I can remember many times when we had to clear rocks off the road in order to get the car through there but never got hit by a rock from the top even though they were still falling.

No seat belts or airbags, bike helmuts or safety glasses and free access to BB guns from 6 yrs onwards, first .22 at 10 yrs old and allowed to use it too, it was a wonder we survived.

Good you made it home without being hipchecked by a 10 ton rock or frosty!

Crazy this time of year can be. Courtenay is flooded and majority of businesses are closed. There is an 18' car tent in my back yard on my hound kennel :shock: I dont recall seeing anybody owning a 18' tent in view lol
Maybe it'll end up being my new awning frame for in front of the wall tent if nobody claims it as the tarp is torn to shreds :biggrin:
