Let's get it started. The snow is starting to pile up on the hills and it's looking to be a good snow season.

If you go on Google Maps and search "Tommies Creek Road", somebody has pinned the location.

This is where the road being built in there will end. I circled the small lake to the left of the red pin in the next pic.

How is the road to get to the parking with 24ft trailer, sketchy like belle at times?
lol I had a sketchy moment last season on that hill... buddy spun out half way and we had to stop... then the truck and trailer started sliding backwards but we kept the whole rig on the road!

That sure looks like the back way into the renshaw… sometimes referred as the waterfall way in.
It's close, but you turn north about 3 miles before the parking area, and head up some high consequence avy terrain.

Ok, Here's the info a lot of you have been wanting to know about our new riding zone.
First things, this is an active logging area this winter so after some conversations with the logging company , who is graciously willing to work with us to make this happen this season, we have a plan.
-- This zone will only be open to use on the weekends until further notice. Once we are notified the logging is finished it will be opened up fully.
We are well aware that it's not perfect but we have to do it this way until they are finished logging.
-- Parking is very limited at the moment. We are using the gravel pit at 19km. Trucks with decks and single axle trailers only, no big enclosed trailers until further notice.
-- Radios are a must, road channel RR4.
-- There's no cell service past 4 kms.
Remember this is an active FSR.
