daftpup Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I'm not from the rock Riddles but I'm currently in Comox visiting my Mom and doing some work on her place. Gotta go home today so I'm bummed...it's frickin amazing out here. While I was here, I noticed there are way more Pathfinders rollin around than in Winnipeg. Climate/salt could be one reason but it still makes me go hmmm.. I mean i see more wd21's but I've also noticed alot of r50's as well. I Know there are a few British Columbians on the board, What gives? Anybody with theories on Pathfinder Nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Last time I went Renfrew to Cowichan was in my 510 so unless the road has gotten really bad, it will not be much of a challenge for a Pathfinder. Unfortunately it has been a few years since I drove any of the back roads on the Island, so I can not offer any options. I do get back once in awhile to see my Dad in Oak Bay and for the odd bit of work but no wheeling time I'm afraid. have fun and keep us posted on what you find.

Riddles Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 haha yah That has happened in the past but there are skidder trails that a billy goat would have trouble on, They did fix the road awile back but I no there is 3 and one gos well past Cowichan I am trying to dig up my Forestry maps that show all trails. Next time your down this way drop a line 250 744 44 59 I live right beside Elk lake at least you could get some fishin in. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainman Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) The forestry map are usually out-of-date (I know, I work in forestry and used to know a lot of the roads on the south end/east side of the Island). Get this instead: Sample map: I have most of the interior ones and they are pretty good. This is their web site, lots of info here: Backroad Mapbooks Edited October 7, 2007 by Trainman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zibi Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I'm not from the Island, from Coquitlam and living in Creston (Kootenays) for the winter. However I usually head to the island for a week or so every summer and would be interested in a ride. Long way off I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
