A highly anticipated return to the north during a pivotal shift in the seasons, we headed up to British Columbia to visit our good pal and renowned metal fabricator/motorcycle builder James Crowe of West America. Saddling up two trail-ready motorcycles for a weekend of camping in the high country, we fled the "Crowe's Nest."
With the compass pointing northward we began on the sweeping and crisp-winded Highway 99. The roads quickly turned to quieter and drier logging roads with views that could kill—literally, if you weren't paying attention to the road it would have been a solid shot over the edge.
For the first night, we camped amongst the trees nestled alongside a beautiful lake hiding from the winds. Retreating to the tent and jumping into our sleeping bags we laid out a map and planned the route for the second day.
