Field trips 2.0

[BC witness]

That poster was my friend Bill Miller, who unfortunately passed away 6 or 7 years ago. That test was done on the shore of Harrison Lake, here in BC. He is sorely missed in our local research circle.

Getting my overlanding/exploring rig more capable.  While not nearly as awesome or capable as Norseman's Ram, it can go on some roads that stock pickups might not be able to.

Just a leveling kit with 37s, a 13.5k winch, and beefy bumper.

Looks really capable. Are those running boards, or rock sliders under the door sills? My H3 came with what looked like sliders, but were really only cosmetic, as I managed to crush one on the first trail I drove the day after I bought it.

We should go camping this summer!

But, the fact that those BF tracks were sinking in twice as deep as the surrounding deer tracks, with a much larger surface area, tells me that the BF was significantly heavier than the average whitetail deer of about 130 lbs.  I would guess at least a 400lb creature.

 

I'm kinda guessing that the creature whose tracks were at the river mud flat may have belonged to the same one peeking in my car windows. The foot and hand prints seem to be of similar sizes. I just can't figure out how it got a print on the top of my windshield without apparently leaving any other marks on the vehicle. It was not parked under big enough trees to allow it to dangle, from above. I don't understand. Another mystery!
