Trying out our new kitchen/sleeping unit. Trip in the mountains and over to Penticton

Took a different route to go to Penticton this time around. Just past Hedley, we took the Hedley mountain road over the mountain tops to the other side so Aspen and down to Penticton.

Ended up getting somewhat lost due to a malfunctioning GPS and a 'I left the backroads mapbook at home' moment. Backtracked slightly and took a gas pipe line road to civilization.

It turned out that the gas pipeline service road was just a track that was made by a caterpillar excavator and not in fact, a normal vehicle. The Safari handled the very narrow sections well as well as a few small obstacles, rock slide, fast flowing creek that looked shallow and ended up being a poop-my-shorts-4ft-deep creek, almost vertical drop over a hill, etc...

The rock slide section took a number of attempts to figure out which way to climb. The Safari dwarfs the rocks on the service road but they are huge and the pictures don't do the odd angle and large boulder on the right any justice. :)

The cabinet unit worked out very well.

Good times :)
