I've moved a weeks holiday to be able to attend.
I'm waiting word back from my brother inlaw who has a canoe I know that has not seen water for several years.

Fellow Land Rover dudes/dudettes ; for those of us going north to Wells / Yanks Peak 29 August 04 [ Sunday ] - 4 September 04 [ Saturday ] , please take notice of our departure time :

We will departing from the Tim Horton's just north of highway 1 off the Whatcom Road exit . Departure date/time - Sunday , 29 August 04 , 7am precisely ! To get to Tim Horton's , take highway 1 east to exit 95 [ Whatcom Road ] and proceed north over highway 1 ; Tim Horton's will be on your right .

Dave Blair [ at our monthly Rover-Lander meeting 19 August - Thursday ] will be covering off any o/s details with regards to our trip north as well as confirming who will be going . Unfortunately , I will not be attending this monthly meeting due to business travel .

In addition to your normal camping gear , please make sure you bring along any medication should you have allergies etc . I have a pretty comprehensive wilderness 1st aid kit but it may not have what you need . Also , should any of us have a medical condition , we should communicate this and the location of our medicine [ if any ] to others . I will also be bringing my chainsaw [ for emergency surgery ] and satellite phone , just in case .

See you folks soon . :D Gerry Bolduc

Fellow trekkers ; I will be checking in with the local Northern MOF Districts to verify / confirm that access to our various planned destinations will be ok . A lot of sections of our province now have limited access due to the high risk of forest fires , ie the lower mainland .
I will post what I know . Gerry Bolduc
