|  I willingly missed the first day drive..... 
			
			A protest against all the mud, rain, some ice some snow and old age!!!! Always more fun when you have to cut a trail in deep snow!!!

			Great video.  Always love that "whine" noise when they get moving. I can't believe just how "flat" BC is. I always thought you guys were mountains out there......

|  Some flat areas 
			
			That area is all reclaimed marsh and bog right next to the Fraser River. If it wasn’t for the Dykes it would be flooded annually. New drivers need a lot of practice before trying hills. But there is this video if you want to see some hills  https://youtu.be/31NtoJTQcRw?si=HOXeBmEqebbjpZ5m |

			Happy New Year, Harry and Justin! Great video and thanks for keeping up the tradition. (I drove my truck on the last day of the year and put it up for the winter.)

|  Very smooth shifting Harry..... 
			
			..... I lost a few on dirt roads going 3rd to 2nd...... then died in second as I could not shift fast enough to catch first......  grind....grind..... full stop back to first gear..... and this all in low range..... the rough terrain(loose round rocks) and the long shift from 2dn to first is murder.......  half the engine torque was being eaten up by round rocks rolling/spinning under the tires..... .....but never broke down!!!!!
