Hi Shawn, Bernie screwed up, he is on for Saturday with you and I and Stuart. Andy and Kris to follow on Sunday morning. I'll Rendezevous with you guys at approx 9:30 am Saturday morning, how about the Macdonald's parking lot. Fear not we won't have to eat there, just meet there :) Too bad Kris and Andy have to wait 'til Sunday.

Hey Paul,
sorry to hear you cant make it! At least you'll be earning money as we are spending it......We will have the biggest smiles though!

Dave! What's going on? This trip was originally your idea....not working on the side with Paul are you.. :wink:

Wes, thanks for the feedback, if there is going to be a lot of snow Kris & I will catch the others up on Sunday even before they get to the Bible camp (after spending a chilly night in their trucks!! :shock:

One day we will find that old donkey trail from Squamish to the Sunshine Coast, save us taking the ferry! :D

See you Sunday,
Andy

This is second trip that Dave has put into motion and then bail out on ,
Maybe he is becoming part of the "Herd of Turtles" :wink:

Didn't Don have his hand up for this trip?

By the looks of it will have a little group of our own showing up on Sunday Andy,
Marks is coming, my friend Pete with the Unimog and possibly two more.

I hope there is enough snow to make it somewhat challenging, and if not May long weekend isn't too far away :P

No, Kris, that's not the case, although I don't mind turtles, I'll be doing my bit for the horses this weekend.

Problem is, there are bookings between our club and Pamela's that keep almost every weekend booked for much of the year, and a bunch of stuff like fencing and corral gates that aren't getting done around here, so I grounded myself for a spring cleanup weekend, which gave me an amazing amount of brownie points! :roll:

We may get out for a drive on Sunday, but I don't think we'll get that far.

Dave

No there is no road route up to powell river at this time, the powell river city council is looking at putting in a road from north of pemberton, in the next 20 years , but who nows with 2010,
As it stands they will have to push 65km of road to the closest dirt road, witch is still 2 hours away and would have the same elevation as the koke.

Cheers
Andrew

Had a friend show me some trails, thought he was B.S ING ME ABOUT THIS TRAIL. Jason took me up this trail, made it to a small rock face where my street tire YES STREET TIRES FAILED ME. jasons mouth was wide open he had no idea that the dicso was so capable, then we went and played in some mud holes, thats when i destroyed my front left rim.
I put a 3 inch split in the inside of the rim, oh! try getting the spare off without that stupid lock key standing in a foot off water and yes the tire was okay as i have sold the tire on my disco.
I took my disco to the edge and im having to pay for a new rim, the area we went was so bad my wife and the dog got out and walked down. LOL!
I will make the meeting before the RTV weekend and answer all questions about powell river. managed to see some of the landi group coming back from there treck.

Cheers
Andrew

P.S Jason is my cousin and he also has a house in powell river.
His ride is a 2003 dakota chipped and runs 285/75/16 390 posi
