Cold Water.....No fish for you!

[pidge]

Took the girlfriend up to

Swift Rapids Lock for the day. U was hoping to get lucky....in both ways lol. Not a single

Fish caught which was disappointing, but had fun up Nord for the day. Sucked about 1:00am when my alty but the bullet. Thank god it wasn't on the fire road. Just some pics if the last 48. Btw never seen the lock fully drained before. Pretty neat.

Talked to a guy working there and he said it was something like 120 sms (square meters per second) lots of water anyways.

 

Drained lock.

That's a fun ride in to swift rapids.

 

Kind of makes you feel like your in the north. Saw two moose last time I was up there.

[pidge]

Yeah Joey thought about that today. I was keeping my eyes open Nick for moose, but all we seen was a fox on the way out.

Are you guys referring to the 'road' from the South? Can you do that with anything less than a 4 x 4?

[pidge]

Don't need a 4x4 but I wouldn't take a civic through there although I've seen it . There's some soft spots from new gravel and a little civic type car could run into a bit of trouble. Something with some decent ground clearance is preferred. There's also a few spots where a car would likely bottom out.

[NAW]

I've only been in once. And it was the road in from the south. It was in the spring, and there was still a foot of snow/ice on the road. Just two tire tracks to follow.

Ford Ranger. Bottomed out a few times. But nothing to scary.

 

I'd avoid in with most cars. I think they used to run a rally on that road a long time ago.

[pidge]

I think your right about the rally NAW. My father has told me the same thing. As far as roads go I was speaking to a Orilla Power Worker up there on Saturday and he told me that's the only way in really. There is some road from the north but it ends apparently.
