Trip to Big Bar Ferry

Over Poison Mountain to Gold Bridge

The results are in the trip was a great success with good weather and great company. A good time was had by all.

We kept a sharp eye out for Lill but only James managed to get LUCKY.

First look at the Frazer River

The Ferry is just around the corner

Only two cars at a time so we had to wait our turn. This Ferry has no motors and runs on the current in the river.

Now its our turn.

The road climbs right up from the river as you can see.

We got lost a few times but not at this turn.

Last rest stop before hitting the trails.

Now we are off road and climbing up through the forest.

Met some other rednecks along the way.

Just a look around on a hill to stretch our legs.

First great view of Red Mountain.

James found a good place to view the country.

Just clearing the tree line.

Some wild life along the trail.

Poison Mountain. Everyone wanted to do the trail but we were running out of time.

Half way from the Ferry to Gold Bridge.

Typical road used mainly by quads.

Steep hills with switch backs.

Beaver pond is made the road lower than the lake.

Setting up camp.

Pitching the tents and making dinner.

Fire at night. Digital cameras do great things.

Clayton make breakfast the next day.

The cooking was first rate.

Packing the gear back up.

View of swartz lake from the road out. We climbed steeply out and would have had trouble if it had rained.
