Some smaller stuff let go while we were in there, but you could see there had been some bigger slides recently. Cautious as always!!

Packed it in for the year but note for next year, the Esso in Sicamous is now a Chevron and carry 94 Octane gas which was priced the same as the 91 at the Shell/

Shell 91 = no ethanol
Chevron 94 = ethanol

Or go to SunValley and get marked unless you are against road tax free fuel.

The 94 octane might not be sled friendly

Ethanol to get 94 (just like PCan). Probably not the best thing for your sled.

i put 94 octane in my viper with 2500km trouble free and then put a head gasket in it the next day. Never again will I use that

Unloaded at km 15 Owls FSR. Can't get to Owls cabin/riding area up the trail, 3-4' deep raging creek. Use your imagination on how to get around and into alpine. I'd say another 2 days, unloading at km 17.


Oh, and the road is passible, but slow and brutal

Yeah AFD. I can never remember that. Always just think of sun valley.

Thanks never even thought about the ethanol!

Drove up blue lake yesterday to 17k - toured area past cabin - probed in meadows west of cabin - still 7ish ft of snow ! Was an amazing year for snow !

 

[rightsideup]

Went up on the side by side spring riders staged at 17.5 k on the owl head road. The entrance into owlhead itself looked pretty soggy. I imagine a lot of creeks are flowing now

Update on the Chevron 94 was there yesterday filling up my Motorcycle they have a decal on the pump stating does not contain eathanol

I sure that having it had a impact on there sales so it was wise for them to make the change.
