Operation Shore Patrol Sep 2024

To compare Tamers to lemmings rushing headlong to the sea – would only be partially correct.  In part – because lemmings really just move to new territories if their population necessitates more living space. Has nothing to do with mass rodent suicide.  The only thing lacking reason Tamers might be doing on Operation Shore Patrol weekend – is to be rushing headlong into traffic – at any time of day or night – and still be foiled in their hope to get to Tidelands early and easily.

Whipsaw Trail August 2024

On Saturday, August 31, Jeremy and I began the journey to the Whipsaw Trail located just outside Princeton, BC. Eric and Imseon joined us at the meeting point at Starbucks in Smokey Point with the sun shining brightly. We arrived at the Sumas border without a lot of traffic, we opted to continue on to Princeton and have a late lunch. Less than a 30 minute wait, waving both vehicles through very quickly on we went. Heading up to the steep hill climbs to Princeton, the CJ started vapor locking (new feature since changing out the gas tank and rerunning the fuel lines). But with pulling over and cooling down, we could move on and get going again.

Pick Up a Mountain – 9/16/2023

I’m not sure anyone else is writing this up, so I thought I’d throw something out there…

Pick Up a Mountain last weekend was a blast. Tamers in attendance included Tammy and I, Jeremy and Noni, Rudi and Melissa, John, Antoine, Michael, Eric, Nate, Joe, Terry and Pam. Also in attendance were candidates David and Patty plus Ethan and Tom from NWD Off-road and Performance. Quite the group!

Operation Shore Patrol – 9/16/2023

OSP 2023!

I – like Darren Rabago – will have to cop to having a near and dear place in my heart for my long tenure in attending Operation Shore Patrol over many years. Starting my 2nd year in the Tamers – which means that was about 1998 when I started “wheeling” (oh is that what I thought it was?) a 1982 J-10 Jeep pickup (too big, too pretty….)

Mountain Loop Clean-up 9/9/2023

Showed up early at the Verlot Ranger Station, right around 8AM. If you want to beat Joe, you have to be there a half hour to an hour early. LOL! Ranger Jon came over to make sure we had all we needed and to let us know that between Coal Creek and Deer Creek could use some attention due to the amount of people from the previous weekend and to thank us for the help. By 9 am we ended up having 12 people total.

Cabin Fever April 14, 2023

This is a must do event.  The people are friendly, the Trails are fun and the raffle is good.  Cabin Fever takes place in the Northern Idaho town of Kellog. We booked a hotel at the Silver Valley hotel which has reasonable rates.  We have actually stayed there before.  Dan from the Tamers and I changed a cam positioning sensor in the back parking lot.  Not a fun project on a trip but thanks to Dan we knocked it out fast.   Thankfully no Engine code of death for this trip.
