Here are some photos from out 58km offroad trip this past Sunday in the Fly Hills near Salmon Arm, BC. Steve got some videos of the Delica in action, so I'll have to post them once I get them hosted somewhere.

The entire photo set is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trialsmast ... 674750681/

Playing follow the leader. Steve in the Jeep had the GPS :)

Is it just me, or is that road getting narrower?

The view was worth it! That would be Salmon Arm waaaay down there.

Cool!

I like how on the first picture there's street signs for offroad trails, very civilized... 8-)

Thanks Delicat.
This Fly Hills area is a popular snow mobiling area and is maintained by a local snow mobile club. It's funny to be in the "middle of nowhere", and pass some street signs and a map that says "you are here"...haha.

They say there are 200km of trails up there, so at 58km for that trip, we just barely go into it.

Here is a link with a map towards the bottom of the page. http://www.shuswap.bc.ca/SnowmobileSA.htm
