fredrogers Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 The porcupine thing is true. I was up there 2 years ago (only to get shut out by snow) and you do have to armor up your car. They are apparently attracted to the salt in the rubber (?) and will chew your hoses and tires to shreds- a shitty thing to happen since you're a LONG ways from the road at the TH. And a long way to the nearest town from the road. You essentially wrap and brace chicken wire around the base of your car (bracing it with sticks and stones) so the little buggers can't get underneath and into your engine compartment. There was plently of wire up there already, but we had brought a roll and made a donation to the porcupine god. It's worth the $10 CDN we paid for the roll just to bring along andnot have to worry. I have to second the notion of brining a couple of good books. And whiskey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 Isn't Guy supposed to be traversing the whole of the Coast Range or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 Probably... When I saw him he was wearing the (obligatory) Mumu and talking utter gibberish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 Is he British too?! What is a Mumu? Is it a loincloth disguised as a chalkbag or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dru Posted April 26, 2001 Share Posted April 26, 2001 A mumu is a big sack dress like fat women wear. Guy, Vance, John Millar etc. are currently ski traversing from Vancouver to Skagway Alaska, they are in Terrace this week, a month ahead of schedule. No word on nudity or porcupine hats yet.

Cpt.Caveman Posted April 27, 2001 Share Posted April 27, 2001 I bet Guy Edwards will do the traverse naked with a watermelon strapped to his back and wearing a hat made out of porcupine skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
