Buy Me a Coffee | bit.ly/AdamCCoffee
I went through the park two weeks ago and it was stunning. Went for a short drive from PG through Dawson Creek, down through Fox Creek then Edson. From Edson I cruised through Jasper and got back to PG.
It started as me going for a drive to get coffee, and ended 14 hours later having had 4 coffees and some absolutely wicked Thailand Garlic Doritos that I picked up in Chetwynd.
Such a shame that it may be gone in the coming hours...
It was a beautiful ride. I really enjoyed it. I will now have to seek out Garlic Doritos.
They're awesome. Very strong, but very good.
Windscreen tip here. Wet down some stronger paper towels heavily (Costco Blue is awesome), then spread out across entire bug ridden area for ten minutes. It softens everything for an easy wipe clean. I do same for my visor, with a microfiber swipe for a clean finish. Fuel stops work great :-)
Fantastic tip! I still have a lot of bug guts left over so I’ll give that a go.
Gotta love our oilfield highways. I don't miss driving them at all. Every once in a while is fine, but not everyday.
It was a great experience but I was amazed at how they just go for hundreds of miles. Just me and a bunch of trucks. I could probably just camp anywhere without issue. It wasn't far from civilization but yet felt like a world away.
@@AdamChandler86 Yeah, it's beautiful, but its' also grizzly and black bear country so I wouldn't recommend it. The bears are habituated to the oil and gas activity, especially the camps in their territory, so they no longer completely fear the sound of equipment and the smell of food is their dinner bell. A lot of careless workers throw food out the window and some dumbasses actually feed the wildlife, so they associate free food with vehicles and facilities. The more remote areas with far less human activity are actually safer as the bears run from engine sounds rather than toward them. The camps up that FTR have multi layered electric fences to keep the bears out, but I don't know if any camps are open to the public.
I saw that on a lot of back roads actually truckers throwing food and trash out of the window even in First Nation lands. Really despicable. Now I know organic stuff like hot dogs and crackers aren't a big deal but it does bring all of the animals closer to the roads
Ill remember that rental! Thankyou, im often in the area. What a good way to start a day, right!!
It was awesome!
most of the tankers are hauling water, not oil....and definitely not crude....its all light oil down there.
Definitely a trip that’s very high on the wishlist, Adam.
Tipping my helmet that you’re getting it done!!
Question, if I may: you have your 360 camera shoulder mounted? Interesting idea & a different angle from everyone else!
I've tried a lot of angles on this trip. Shoulder is one, helmet, handlebars, front beak and rear luggage rack. I love the 360 because you can put it anywhere then grab the best point of view. It's a neat little camera.
I enjoy a little gravel as much as the next guy. That 100mi or so doesnt sound like a great time
I have done so much gravel on this trip that I was a bit over it. I like technical rutted-out-baby-head two-track just fine but having to do 70 miles an hour on top of gravel gets really tiring.
