Finally a holiday with the blazer
Finally, I achieved a goal that I have been wanting to do since I got my blazer 2 years ago. I finally hooked up the holiday trailer to the blazer and pulled it through the mountains of British Columbia, including 2 major passes that really put it to the test. I put on 1500 miles during the holiday. About 1400 of those were pulling the 6000lb, 24foot trailer. I averaged 12.5 mpg pulling mostly at 55 and 60mph. It was pretty hot most of the time so we used the bikini and safari tops to keep the sun off us. Never had any heating problems with the new rad, motor and tranny. Someone had previously asked to see pics of my Best top so here are a few. Check out the sexy trailer mirrors on the front fenders. We camped with a couple different groups of friends, made it to a couple of vineyards to wine taste, visited one of my kids that just moved and made it to a Show and Shine that I have wanted to get to. We ended up camping at a friend's land that was about 7 miles from the forest fires so we watched water bombers flying all day while we floated down the river. Even made it to one of the last remaining drive-in movie theatres in Western Canada. Great holiday.
