There are some beautiful mountain views on Alison Pass.
Looks a beautiful day for you.
When I was a teen, my family drove over the new road during construction. I remember it as a barren surface with huge boulders all over the place. Once it was explained what had happened and how lives were lost, there was no more talking until got back on the highway.
Oh wow, you remembering it helps tie it into the timeline better, the slide isn't that old.
Hi Juan 138 thousand is a heavy load, big strapper!
Yea, we run a bit heavier than the USA.
@@JuanRempel A bit! yeah and every weigh master in the states would be stepping all over there air hoses to write the driver a ticket.
I drove over the pass New Years Eve 1969. It snowed heavy from Salmon Arm all the way to Vancouver. I had a new VW Beetle with studded snow tires and that little car would go anywhere in the snow. After we left Princeton, we didn't see another vehicle until about a mile past the Highways Dept yard at the top of the hill. It was one of their snowplows resting on its side in the ditch. The driver was OK and said he had help on the way. There was so much snow on the road in spots the car was pushing it with the front bumper and it was guess work as to where the edge of the road was. I guess the plow driver guessed wrong. I learned later that they had closed the highway at both ends, but there were nothing at Princeton to stop traffic. Thank goodness you are only young and stupid once.
Like you I really like that stretch alongside thecreek before Sunshine Village. It's really pretty around the end of February when all the willows along there turn red.
Those old VW are tanks and can go anywhere. As for young and stupid.....some people don't grow out of that lol
Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Stay Safe!
You bet
Wow that landslide was huge. There's an awful lot of mountain that ended up down the bottom and basically disappeared.
Yea, a few people are under all that rock
@@JuanRempel Oh that is sad
Thanks for the ride, Juan.....I enjoyed it.
The only other time I went through the whole length of Hwy 3 was while delivering a brand-spanking new LinkBelt-3140 mobile crane with boom-dolly (166,000 lbs)...3 meter wide, no escorts, from its plant in KY via Sparwood (to drop-off a crate of parts) to Surrey.
ZF automatic with Retarder and Jake....didn't use the brakes once (except for stopping at the brake-check turnouts).
That's awesome, I love that these days with all the breaking assists if you select the right gear, you don't have to use up and breaks.
I shall see you tomorrow night 🌙
The problem with those black marks are no respect! Not naming any race but a lot of drivers think they are better drivers than they are and don’t respect the suggested speed yes you can do a little faster but not much! Too many drivers go to driver school and once they got their license they think they are truck drivers! I’ve been driving 57 years,commercial driver46 years, 27 years in the mountains and I still don’t know all there is to know! But I do respect my speed in the mountains!
Amen
I remember when you were marooned at Allison Summit in the heavy snow several winters back!
Wow that was a lot of snow, almost crashed that night
Ha ha. I saw all that hay in the ditch! Somewhere between Osoyoos and Princeton? I was through there last Saturday.
That kind of driving I love pulling mountains I was made for it started out the gate learning the do and don’t it’s so free there and the challenge is different every time wouldn’t trade it for something else ❤✌️
Free, open, and a challenge so you don't get bored.
Ouch, that's a big difference in allowable weight! 😮
Safe travels
Yea, we run pretty heavy in Canada
Great video again. If people would slow down and just enjoy the drive, it would be much better
Yes, I don't know why people don't give them selves more time. Our upcoming vacation we won't be doing much along the way, but we still built in 5 to 7 hours to spare every day so we don't have to rush at all and if the road is closed for a few hours, we are still not in a rush.
awesome video as always Juan, i was into north van than back to chilliwack at 63,604kgs with my boss c-16 600hp with jakes and brakesaver its a powerhouse and treat to drive, i also get to work on it im biased towards cat but love cummins as well
Oh wow, that sounds like a freaking awesome truck to drive
Nice🇨🇦🚚✊✊
Nothing wrong with jaking, n braking. Alot of bacon strips on the rd?lol
Forsure
What hockey team do you watch in the winter
I really don't have time to watch, the games I do get in, I'm always wearing my Jets jersey
I had a curious thought the other day ( due to someone making a comment about the turbo gas engine pickups having a lot of failures on the Colorado grades while pulling loads ) and you might be a good one to ask this given your southern BC mountainous travels and even if its not a highway you frequent it might be well known through the trucking community. The question I have relates to passenger vehicles and RV's which include pickups and be that towing a holiday trailer etc, motorhomes or just even non towing passenger vehicles. What highway or section of highway ( because of its mountain grade ) stands out as per the most volume of vehicles that tend to break down while going up ( engines blowing up/overheating, transmissions failing... etc etc ) as well as the going down the same grades with accidents, burning up brakes and so on. I've only been on a few highways down there and very seldom so I haven't been subjected to seeing the carnage. By any chance would the Coquihalla be the "winner" or are there some other highways that get top honour for being the most popular for mechanical failures.
Oh yea, Coquihalla is definitely the winner, not due to the worst climb, but because of the quantity of vehicles on that highway. It's rare I pull up that highway without seeing a broken down vehicle.
@@JuanRempel Interesting, no doubt there are as you eluded to more difficult grades in southern BC where the summer heat is and break downs happen but like you said volume of traffic is great on that highway and people are pushing it ( pushing their luck too ! ) and then shit happens. I imagine the towing companies make good money on that highway through the summer months ( and yes winter too for other reasons )
I went back through my comments and put emoji's in.
I have forgotten to use lots of emoji's
Oh yea, emoji spam, you don't have to use them in ever comment, just a few here and there, I like the maple leaf in piticular but that's a Canadian thing
@@JuanRempel Yes I like Mapel leaf
