Here's a few photos of the Fraser Canyon from my trip there last weekend.

Good looking trip.

My favorite parts of cayuse's ride report is when I read the word "Chilliwack." Cracks me up for some reason.

Beautiful vistas. It makes me growl that I'm having issues with getting my back wheel fixed. Fun to see others out having fun. A friend at church tonight showed up after we finished stripping soccer fields. He knew of my problems so I welcomed him with a snide greeting, Look at this guy with his fancy back wheel!

Yeah, I believe I'm spoiled with the scenery around here. I've got to remember to stop a little more often and take some photos for you guys.

OK here is my short clip of riding southbound from the Hell's Gate turnaround, past the gondola station and through a couple of tunnels. The camera picked up the engine but also a LOT of wind noise so turn your speakers down.

Nice Footage.

Can you give some Info on your Camera
and tips on shooting while you're riding?

Thanks

:2tup:

Thanks Strelok!

I'd like to shoot in HD but for now this is the best I've got. I used this
ultra-simple setup to capture video using my daughter's discarded
digital camera. That's a hex head cap screw, lock washer, and
rubber washer holding a piece of aluminum bar (1/8" x 3/4"
from Rona) onto the fork bracket. The camera is fixed
with a couple of rubber washers, a wing nut, and a
socket head cap screw with knob cap. I also have
a lanyard clipped onto the camera and tied onto
my handlebars as a fail-safe measure in case
something rattles loose. I found this
placement resulted in the least
amount of vibration. Now to
work on noise reduction....

Wow. What a smart idea.
Economical too. The vibration
was minimal and I didn't have any
problem with the wind noise. I was also
wondering what exactly is "Hell's Gate" I saw?

Thanks Strelok

Hell's Gate is a very narrow section of the Fraser River. The sign you saw refers to a gondola ride you can take down to the far side of the river. Here's a good link:
