New kid looking for test drive (BC, Canada)

I'm too old to lay on the ground
and too broke to buy one of each,
so I'm hoping some friendly hangers
might give me the chance to try out a few different models
before I make my choice.

I don't often travel farther than Chilliwack or Lytton,
though I might make it to Vancouver before September.
Or we might consider using Canada Post.

Thanks for considering my request.

I'm about halfway between them and you, pardner.
Out in the woods near Boston Bar.

Thanks.
Ya gotta love the internet-

have the chance to hang out together?
Pun not planned.

I get Spuzm and Boston Bar mixed up in my head. I use to work once and a while around there,,,,in the eighties. Been yrs since i've been down the canyon. I'm a good 7hrs from the canyon but i keep thinking of revisiting the area,,,,,lytton, lilloett etc. Welcome aboard. Maybe if some of the guys at the coast are coming to the interior you can hook up. Myself i use a Warbonnet Blackbird and highly recommend it.

"I get Spuzm and Boston Bar mixed up..."

BBar is the one with the cop shop.
And beware!
Our local impound lot is FULL!
In BC they now can (and do!) impound your vehicle
for exceeding the posted limit by 20 km/h.

Do you ride?
The Vancouver-Lytton-Lilooet-Whistler-Vancouver loop
is great riding and spectacular country,
with unlimited opportunities for hammock camping.

Yes. please hook me up if possible.
I can offer a sweet and safe camping spot on our creek,
and the use of our hot tub, too.

I rode till last year when i sold my bike and got a kayak. Now i'm riding the water. When i had the bike i wanted to get out that way,,,Pavillion rd,,Duffy lake etc but i had a good ride here with the kaslo/New Denver loop or east shore of kootenay lake. Anyway my ride was gettin old and i felt it was time.
I wasn't offering to hook you up although i would if i could . You'll have to try and connect with the coast guys yourself. If for some reason i get out that way this summer you can try mine. As i said the Blackbird is a good rig and i've heard lots of good stuff about the Hennessy deep jungle and explorer with the side zippers,,Switchback and clark has a fallowing as well. Check them out online.
