Well it’s heartbreaking to see these images of areas being devastated by Wild Fires. – The top one is of Jasper where buildings are on fire, including the Petro Can station, where I stopped many times to gas up and have an evening meal. reports say this just exploded.
below is near New Denver and shows the Mountains on fire, which appears like where we went exploring years ago. We hope all our friends in these communities are safe.
below is a pic from the Valhalla area near New Denver where we explored the old mining areas years ago.
and another from that same area which is likely now all burned
Below is a pic from the Outlaw Trial that we held at Greenstone Mountain near Kamloops a few years ago – it shows a rider on one of the rocky sections surrounded by burnt timber from a big fire that went through that area 7 years previous – Yes it takes a long while for the trees to grow back.
So quiz for today, who can name the rider and others watching that day???
===========================================
With conditions tinder dry all over and no reports of much rain in the forecast, it’s a very stressful time, especially for those who remember the situation last year.
==========================================
Answer to the last quiz – Paco Bulto the man who built Bultaco – a few got it but some thought it was Ralph Venables maybe because he wore a similar cap.
=========================================
Not Trials, but nice to see ex Trials rider Jonny Walker (Beta) on the top of the podium at the Romaniacs Prologue.
