Alright crew, let's hit you up with some serious pictures.

Here's the rig, a 2011 Sport 4x4. Also a little submission to a TRS member calendar.

We chose to get a few glory shots of the Ranger here before we got to Teslin, we were making good pace at this point.

This is just outside Teslin, this is the longest bridge on the Alaska Highway, it has a fully grated deck so snow doesn't build up. And interesting tidbit, Ben's (thatbluecar) Grandfather actually was one of the engineers that made that bridge a reality.

Also... CHEESE-N-CRACKERS!

We started running behind, and I'll tell you those seats suck!

Out at Rancheria Falls.

Little promo shot.

Here we are at Junction 37, this is where we decided to run into Watson Lake to do something a little bit epic before meeting up with Ray.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the signpost forest. At over 75,000 signs it is quite the spectacle.

So needless to say Friday afternoon I whipped up something at work and we searched for a proper place to put it. And found an awesome spot.

Not sure how long it is gonna last as it is just laminated and taped but we shall see.

TRS was here! Look at that suave devil.

So we then went and took off down the Stewart-Cassiar. I took a quick power nap

MMM... bugs

We went through a lot off bugwash on this trip.

Roadtrip necessities. That knife there is my Bear Grylls special edition Gerber. NO DRINKING MY OWN PISS jokes

So after a lot... and I mean a lot more driving we met up with Ray in Dease Lake.

MrRangerSir signing his life away.

Some good looking trucks.

Ray's beast.

Ray and I doing the cliche hand off pic behind the trucks.

Packing up the banner for Ray, giving him the Sharpie and saying the farewells.

So as darkness fell it was time to jump back in the Ranger to get back into the overnight spot in Watson, and make the trip back home on Sunday.

bear grylls doesn't need to joke about drinking his own urine

awesome pics! so what's the plan from smithers?

 

[MrRangerSir]

Went to Terrace today. Met Sasquatch_Ryda briefly and handed over the banner. Sorry, no pics as we were both working and it literally was 5 minutes in the parking lot.

Ryan plans to take the banner camping this weekend and promises lots of pics. He has a few people lined up to sign it, so I'll leave it in his hands.

I'm available to shuttle the banner east to PG if needed and I plan to head south to Hope BC August 7 thru 10. I'm travelling via Hwy 97 and Hwy 1. I may return on the 9/10 via Kelowna and Kamloops. Of course, all this takes me thru Prince George on Hwy 16, so if anyone wants to work with this, let me and SasquatchRyda know ASAP. I may need to go to Calgary in mid September, so there's another option.

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

Yup, good to meet you today Ray. This baby should get some good photo ops this long weekend and it will also be the maiden voyage of my truck since getting it all put back together. 3 or 4 guys in town that are members that will be along too. Will keep you posted.
