Randy Neufeld sent me the following GPS track. I have it in either Google Earth (kml) and GPX for Garmin and other devices. Randy left comments on Dual Sport BC for me, and imported them into the comments below on the post about attempting to get to Cow Lake from Nanaimo (the aborted one). The root he says is easy and very straight forward with a huge tarmacked section in the middle! It starts at 4th lake, winds over a mountain, into the Nitnat Valley and south to Cow Lake. You can also go north to Port Alberni too.
The picture below is only part of the loop, but we know the rest...
We have to do this before the end of September, perhaps with a camp at Heather, Nixon Creek or Caycuse thrown in on the Saturday night. The itinerary could be this:
Sat ride to Cow Lake, explore a few spurs on the way.
Sat night: Camp at anyone of the cheap campsites around Cow Lake
Sun: search for the Flora Lake Liberator crash site or go see the Mount Bolduc crash site. Return home? Whadya say?
If you want the GPX files or the Google Earth KML file, let me know...

I'm in! It's time to go hunting for a lightweight/small pack sleeping bag. Any suggestions? Must get a rack too.
