Bill, Bernie & Dave decided we needed more wood for the fire on Friday night at Copper Creek.
-
Heave-ho!
-
One more time...
-
Oops... almost forgot to pull out the tug-strap!
-
Rover Camp at Copper Creek, showing Camp Armstrong/McEachern/Nyland with their tent that had 'rooms'.
-
Jeremy McEachern & Karl Nyland relaxing by the fire (that had ample wood) Saturday morning.
-
Apparently no one knew about this natural hole that went under the highway and Copper Creek flowed out through.
-
Through the big puddle on our way up to Placer Lake.
-
Andy & Bailey Deane in the big puddle heading up to Placer Lake.
-
Big Daddy Tebbutt in his Rangy into the puddle.
-
Signage at the bottom of the road up to Placer Lake, which by the way was used in the 2004 NWC.

Bernie's D110 heading up the hill to Placer Lake. A bit tricky in places it was.
-
Bernie using the boards.
-
Just a bit more and over the rocks.
-
Andy had a bit of trouble on this spot. Dave puts the board in place.
-
Andy on the board, but no luck any further.

Smoke those tyres!

The Boys waiting to see the outcome.
-
More comtemplating.
-
Finally... the winch is in action for Andy to get up and out.
-
Disco Dave on the boards.
-
The Disco pops its way up. Sometimes 3 tyres on the ground, sometimes only 1 (apparently).
-
And Dave is over. Hey... almost get the vertical look here.
-
Here come Dave T towards the boards.
-
No problemo!
-
Bernie, masquarading as a cowboy today watching with Karl.
-
Dave is almost over.
-
And away he goes up the hill.
-
Placer Lake.
-
Lunch time.
-
Gathered at the bottom of the meadow hill. 2004 NWC had the drivers coming down this hill in the middle of the night. Yikes!
-
Looking up toward the meadow hill.
-
Remember this corral for one of the next shots.
-
John & Andy start the hill through the grove.
-
About all I could get being truck #6 was Big Daddy Tebbutt about to crest the hill onto the road.

A shot looking down - can you see the old corral way in the bottom now?

A view shot.

On the way up to the Placer Mtn. summit. The snow was not long gone.
-
Rover-Landers atop Placer Mtn. 6000 ft.

There was a 360º view in all directions. What a fabulous way to view the province.

The bigger of the 2 cairns atop Placer Mtn.

Spectacular views.

We all stayed here on Saturday night. Quite nice beside the Ashnola River.
-
Sunday morning looking 'way back down' towards the Ashnola River as 5 of us headed up Crater Mtn. (Phil, John, Andy, Dave & Dave)
-
Wow, what a province we live in. This trip had so many great views!
-
As we stopped to take a shot of this sign that could perhaps be used for 'Mackenzie Trail', Dave Tebbutt pulled up behind us with a 'burning red Range Rover"!!
-
Once the fire was out and Pamela had called back the front 3 trucks - an analysis began of the damage.
-
There was a big melted mess - but somehow this does not show it. Sorry, I was trying to stay out of the way.
-
All gathered around to decide what to do.
-
Pamela & the pups wandered off (with bear spray) to check out the abandoned site up ahead.
-
Looking north-east (I think).
-
A really cool place - but have to admit thoughts of 'Brokeback Mountan' were coming in - tho as a girl I knew I was okay!
-
In the old abandoned firepit I found all these light blue butterflies.
-
Our chief mechanic Phil takes his position.
-
Commando/Cowboy John??? blowing out all the fire extinguisher dust.
-
Again... Pamela & the pups wandeed off to the top of the hill this time.
-
All the other Rovers gathered round the injured one (yeah, I know sounds sappy)
-
Figuring out what wire is what and goes where?
-
Phil & Dave get at it.
-
Yup, lots of melted wires.
-
On the trail again we came acoss a small herd of mountain sheep ewes and kids.
-
Phil & Andy heading across Crater Mtn. (?)
-
At the end of the day - 2 happy Disco deugs.
