    It is like running away from home as a kid (going east of the Mississippi ) - the first thing you realize is "crap, I may have made a miscalculation" ....

    Good thing Wore Out wasn't behind him
    I can see and hear it now. Hey oversize, you wanna pickup the pace. Oversize replies, I am doing all I can on this road.
    Wore Out, well move over, I got cows that need to go to the fat. Oversize I have no room
    Wore Out replies. Yes you do 3 inches right I'm coming around. Lol

    Sorry I've been down south. the roads are pretty good now. no snow on them now. The best way would be to cross at osoyoos if you could... not sure how strict they are in that area with oversize stuff.

    Nate is right on working your way to Osoyoos BC crossing.
    You then have about 135 miles to Lumby via hwys 97 and 6.
    figure a minimum of 4 hours (hills@7%, slow towns with corners and
    MANY OLD FART DRIVERS and their parents on the road.
    I have not run OSOW in the area for 7 years but I have family
    in the area and spend time there, but this is what I remember:
    BC patterns their permit rules mostly after California
    1 pilot at 11' 6"
    2 pilots at 12' 6"
    14'6"high is common and routine
    anything over 15"6"high or wide can cause a small delay

    @Rontonio -
    Obviously we have the wrong equipment to move those rocks
    Take the boxes off, throw a couple of chains- good to go!
