Good thing Chetwynd has two great car washes, because we sure needed one after our last 4x4ing excursion!
I had an absolute blast driving through the big mud holes on a local 4x4ing road in our 1979 Ford F150 pickup truck. Within the first few minutes the truck was completely plastered with mud! Once we navigated through all the mud puddles and ruts in the road, we saw some beautiful local countryside and even a few deer in a meadow.
As always when heading out into the backcountry we made sure our family knew where we were going and when we planned to be back. We carried some extra fuel and made sure the winch was in good working order in case we got stuck!

What a first date! We set off in the Bronco II down a local 4x4 trail to find some mud and test our driving skills. Not too far down the Three Culverts road, we found this mud puddle... we didn't think we would get out at first! Good thing the truck has big tires!
The Chetwynd area is full of opportunities for 4x4 adventures like this one - just remember to bring all the necessary supplies in case you break down or get stuck, and always let someone know where you are going and when you plan on being back. You never know, you just might see us out there!
