I don't see any pepper spray!?! Which trip?
Packing for Yellowstone.
Bwahaha! Good one. And your co-actors, classic!I was just reminded that I did a before but not an after from my Highline trip. I think I posted a sufficient after between the Uintas conditions and members of BCP threads, so I'm just going to post a snippet of my video diary I shot along the trail. This was shot at around mile 20 out of 70, so you can only imagine where things went from here....
I found that to be pretty funny, @Nick, but did the other three make it out, or should I ask?Bwahaha! Good one. And your co-actors, classic!
Whoa, just saw this Rock!Well, here's the after. Things often don't go as planned, even when you don't have plans, which I usually don't. My basic idea was to head north to Tuktoyaktuk, taking my time, then go to Alaska. I got up to northern Montana where the AC on my new-to-me truck gave up the ghost. It was pretty hot for me and the dogs, so I stopped at a shop where they discovered a rear differential seal leaking pretty badly when doing an oil change and also couldn't fix the AC. I went back to Livingston to regroup, as it wasn't as hot there.
To add to that, my generator went out, which was the only way I had of keeping the house part of my rig cool for the dogs when we were stopped. I then started smelling propane, though not too bad, but it was worrisome.
I was debating on whether to keep trying to go north or not, being fairly stubborn, when I think the heat got to the dogs. One of them stepped on something and let out a yelp, which triggered the other to jump her, which they've never done before, but Blue Heelers can be a bit sketchy. I know not to get involved in a dogfight, but I did anyway, and I ended up with stitches in both legs. So, I'm now holed up in a little cabin in Montana, trying to figure out what happened to my good luck.
Fortunately, I have plenty of dog food in my rig as well as 10 pounds of coffee (I was outfitted for an Arctic expedition, after all), so all will be well. One dog had to go to the vet, but she'll be OK. Neither acts very contrite.

You carry three packs? Respect!
Whoa, just saw this Rock!
I've been distracted flying to flatland, driving to flatland and backpacking and such. You got hurt and the doggies not so much?
Sorry to hear about your mechanical issues too. Sounds like that backcountry mechanic may have been piling on? You safe and secure now? What is the plan?
One things for sure, you want to be figuring out the mechanicals BEFORE you head into the Northwest Territories. Just ask Ben!
Good luck, amiga. Let us know how we can type you some help
What is your schedule? You are going to be honed for our Electric Peak trip in two weeks! I will have to struggle to keep up with the Scat and Misses Scat and Scat Junior. Luckily Becky will be slower than me...The bear spray is hiding behind the red pack and this would be the Plateau Lake / Buffalo Meadow trip.
And what happened to Ben? Was this on his Alaska trip?

Is that the one with your hats? Can't weigh too much...Hey @Rockskipper , there is actually a forth pack in that image, so don't short change me a pack.
