@24:54, if you turn left, follow the pavement for about 2 km through the collection of cabins. The road then turns to rough gravel as you cross the bridge over the Skagit, and I believe goes up and follows the Skagit for 40 km. It’s on my bucket list. 🌲🤙
Nice to see you driving that route. I go to Manning Park yearly for a hike. The place where you parked your truck at the hope slide is where I park to take a rest break. The hope slide looked more impressive years ago when there wasn't as much trees on the slope.
Great view from the top of the load shows how steep the cliffs are. You should do it more often. If it is safe to do, I wouldn't want you falling off your load again
Yes, I agree, I like ot enough, I asked the shipper to load me a bit different on one load just to make it easy to use this cam. Tried some stuff in future videos that didn't work as well, but this camera actually makes the road feel narrow and steep.
@@garthjones3747yes, my bad. Thats what happens when I comment early into a video. I too remember the slide, as my family were on our way to vacation in the Okanagan and had to drive the makeshift gravel road they had cut through the slide. I was in awe, looking at the opposite mtn side stripped of its trees by the slide, before it settled into the valley. 🤙
Great video. Is there a reason drivers in BC toodle along on the two lane then floor it when there is a passing lane so the vehicles lined up behind them can’t pass?
The engineers' road you mentioned was originally called the Dewdney Trail. It was built in the 1860s and was a packhorse trail only, four feet wide, so not as wide as the Cariboo Road through the Fraser Canyon. It ran from Hope to Fort Steele, and as the automobile age came in the 1920s, most of the trail was converted into a road. However, the Hope-Princeton section remained a trail until the 1940s, when the Hope-Princeton Highway was built, using Japanese-Canadian internees living at the Tashme internment camp in Sunshine Valley, not far from where the Hope Slide occurred in 1965.
Now these titbits of history along highway 3 I love reading, thank you so much. I had to look up Fort Steele, I was surprised to find it was near Cranbrook.
like the high view and yes seeing the slide would be great !
So happy everyone loves that camera angle
The new camera position on top of the load is “dope”, definitely a keeper ❤
agreed.👍
I play with it a bit the next 2 weeks, I think I've settled on the position of the cam. I'll definitely use it whenever it's safe to do so.
@@JuanRempelNot to be used on roads that semi's should not take.
Great view of the canyon at the 11 minute mark. Having the camera at the top of the load certainly gives a wonderful perspective!
I'm so glad everyone likes the new view.
That would be amazing to have Highway 3 in there own section . The new camera on top of the load is awesome to see from..
I think it would be cool to find as much info about Highway 3 as I stop at all the points of interest. Likely will have to do that in our pickup.
love the new camera angle ... different but so nice
Yay, thank you! I really like it too
Very enjoyable video thankyou 😊
See you tomorrow night Juan 🌙 👋
G'day Juan
That is one heck of a landslide. It certainly took a chuck of mountain out. Thankypu for showing us.
I like the top load shot now maybe a rear facing top load shot would work well to.
Like on the very back end of the load? I hadn't thought of that shot. We need more cameras lol

And now it's on my list too!
Talking about wood chips etc, I saw huge piles of sawdust at Mercer Castlegar 2 weeks ago.
Yea, the pulp mill has massive stacks.

Yea, slowly the greenery is hiding the slide
Our Family lost a family member in the Hope slide
Oh wow so Hope slide is close to home for you
@@JuanRempel we lived in the lower mainland at the time of the slide. I have lived in BC AB, Sask and Yukon ... love the West
I like the camera on the roof.
Seems most people do.
Shit happens can't be perfect all the time, Eh I heard you but you really had to listen and the camera thing 😂 safe travels

++ for new camera
I'll use it a bunch, when ever it's safe to do so. After our vacation I really want to buy another camera.
@@JuanRempel If you were to rig up a small wind deflector just lower of the camera , possibly it would deflect the bugs.
Yea, maybe, make a little air shield.
HI Juan it was 4 people that died G
@@blueman5924 the hope slide j googledit i remember when ithappened

I wish I knew, it's soooooo stupid
@08:14 We could hear you still in that video you call garbage. The only time we couldnt hear you was when the fan was loud.
I guess some of us have better hearing lol
