RE: Border open?
What a joke. They're initiating a "GROUP" to study it....again? https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/canada-soon-say-how-it-will-ease-curbs-us-border-fully-vaccinated-citizens-pm-2021-06-08/
This was said over a month ago. and the results are???
Well, no problem. As I said previously, if the border didn't open by April 21, we wouldn't be heading north this year or ever again. And it didn't and we aren't. We have a contract pending on the RV and will NOT be buying another. It was a good run while it lasted, over 250,000 RV miles since 2003, 9 driving trips to Alaska and Canada) but as long as the idiot politicians continue to play politics, they won't have us in the game. A great time to sell a high end RV though.
I am having such a hard time holding my fingers..(tongue)...but, so far, so good.

dont think there is CP tracks with slide covers down there, could be wrong but the only places I have seen them is fraser canyon and along the #1
Steve
The run up the canyon is now shared...north side up down...south, up....the tunnels in the shots are down traffic.

RE: Lets try it this way....
I was being lazy and tried for an easy way...thus the FB link that won't...
I was also trying to sneak out the door..but nope..we in BC have limited travel. We are limited to being within our Health Authority. So..with that in mind..and being inoculated and minding our social distancing manners and masks and washing hands frequently...and no hangin out with others...

Is that a trolly (pic #2) to cross the river? Hand powered or electric?
It is a trolley yes and in truth..I don't know the power deal.

RE: Lets try it this way....
Pretty cool Gary. Where is that...or is it a secret. :)
No secret...send cash....
It is on Highway 1, just east of Goldpan Campground..north of Lytton, BC by 20k's. A person needs to set up their approach, no following traffic...going past the Goldpan camp road about a frogs hair, turn left across the two lanes of downhill and down the scrabble road. It's not really trailer friendly, either.
I would suggest to anyone, that they do a couple drive-bys and get the approach sited out.

RE: Transferring fresh water when dry camping
A topic near and dear to my heart....more water. With my 24ft C, I am almost stymied. I carry 30 gallons on-b0ard. A bladder would be great...no room. I even considered putting one on my roof. I have just acquired two 5 gallon jugs that will fit in the tub and fold up to nothing once emptied. For now, I lift and funnel, but I have ordered a cheap plastic drill driven impeller set-up....like an in-line pump. We'll see.

RE: Not a good thing, at all....
Hi, I never said I was moving there - I noted looking for a summer property to consider purchasing, similar to how Canadians do in winter in the southern states in the US! ;) Prices are crazy here in the US right now too! There’s lots of places to visit here still I guess until the market cools down! Thanks for your reply!
I don’t think it’s that much of an issue since the land border has been closed for over a year!!! Sadly, that’s just my luck! Had to wait through the entire Trump presidency before we could retire and then to top it off, a global pandemic hit, everyone got into RVs and camping, and now I can’t get into Canada to find a summer property to consider purchasing - and if/when I do, prices will most likely be significantly higher than they were pre-pandemic!!! - If I didn’t have bad luck, I’d have no luck - smh ??????
I stand corrected.
Gary
Before you head this way...and yes, prices are higher, I hope you do some research on the viability of buying land in Canada with the intention of moving here. It s not as straight forward as one might think.

RE: Waited on Canada long enough
If folks from the lower 48 want to visit Alaska...go. Take a ferry or fly. You are not in any way, impeded.
Gary HauptNot quite true.
RV on the ferries does not allow for freezers to be powered and when you have a 17cu ft chest, a 3 1/2 cu ft basement and 3 door conventional refer/freezer full of shrimp, halibut and salmon, there's no way to get it home. Ferry travel times (actually on the water, not waiting in port for loading, unloading, and waiting for connections is 97 hours. 4+days) I don't care how good your batteries are, that is NOT an option. This would be our 10th trip up and we are experienced with the ferries.
Please tell me you are kidding me right now...please. People are making huge sacrifices to try and curb this pandemic....and you complain that you can't keep your freezer cold enough to get your catch home?
