Last winter a group of perfect strangers joined me on a short over landing adventure to what ice climbers call “The good, The Bad, and The Ugly”.

Lost Knife Trail – An Overlanding Adventure
It’s back to the Ghost PLUZ for me, but it’s a summertime adventure for me this time!
The weather has been terrible lately; the Waiparous region received nearly 75 cm of rainfall in the weeks leading up to this trip. It was so bad, that I was contemplating a cancellation. The weather cleared up and I did two trips to the Lost Knife Traile; the first was a mudfest. The second; was only slightly better.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (Part I) – An Overlanding Adventure
For several years now, a trip to “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly” has been on my bucket list. GBU for short. This is the name the Ice Climbers have given it at least; for us in the off-roading community it’s known simply as “Ghost Falls”. Life always got in the way, and I never made the trip out. Until Now.
