Andy,

I will be there if I can find a trailer big enough to carry my truck. The ride to cloverdale on tracks would take a long time.

Any volunteers? I will trade a back-country trip with Hyland Adventures, worth about $500.

Ray

Thanks Greg

Hopefully we gave the Island guys enough time to make it over before the AGM starts at noon...

I can make it by getting the 7:45 out of Duke point but the last one back to Duke point is 5:45.

Guess I'll be staying the night but I'll bow out of the Snowflake Chase. :oops:

I understand the Mudhill is only open to Land Rovers on Saturday.

How about the Snow Flake Chase, can non rovers come out on the run?

Hi Reza,

While Founders Day and the Mud hill is a Land Rover only event our normal Events and trips are always open to all.

So yes, come on out for the SnowFlake chase and enjoy!

cheers,
Andy

Thanks Andy, I have a couple of buddies with range rovers and they wanted to see what vehicles should be driven out if they can make it.

i am hoping to make it to at least saturday and if all works out stay for the drive on sunday.

cheers,
Reza

Hi there. I was wondering if anybody has a heavy-duty reciprocating saw that I can borrow. I am putting together a log teeter-totter for Founders Day and would like to save the rental cost if I can. Please let me know as I will need one by Wednesday. Please PM me with contact info. Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers

Hear Hear! Today was a rally great event, thanks everybody, I had a lot of fun, and I hope the kids who were "riding the tracks" had a great time too, it sure sounded like it from the noise in the back of the truck :D

Sorry I couldn't stay, the driver who brought me and the tank out had had a pretty long day. Hopefully we can stay later next year.

Cheers

Ray

I had a great day, and very much enjoyed the opportunity to hang around so many people with similar interests. It was a pleasure to see some vintage vehicles, newer vehicles, and meet the great people behind them.

I still hate that see-saw and still don't believe that it is actually possible to balance on it. ;)

My wife and I are both very excited to have won the draw for Ray's 1 day excursion! Being able to see the tank in person was excellent, but knowing that there is a possibility to actually go for a day's journey in it... WOOT! I'm hoping that we can talk Ray into letting us go before he swaps back to regular tires. ;)

We are going through the loot that we bought at the shop. Some amazing stuff, glad we got there early enough to have a full selection!

Thank you to everyone who planned and executed this day; it isn't easy to organise this type of event, and you-all did it with flair and style!

Again, thanks to the Rover-Landers Executive, Members, and Guests!
