End of Season Camp Out - Nov 2nd-3rd 2019

[ANDYD]

OK, looks likes it's a go for next weekend, Rover-Landers End of Season run, Dinner and Camp out.
This year we are staying looow in the valley due to the event being a little later than normal.
Our Chef Shawn will be once again putting on a tasty Saturday night dinner, so make sure you let us know if you will be joining us...details below;

What - End Of Season Run and Camp out - 2 days, Off-Road Adventure
Where - This year we will be exploring deep into the Elaho Valley, north of Squamish - the plan is to Camp on Sim's Island, where Sims Creek meets the mighty Elaho River
When - Sat 2nd Nov & Sun 3rd Nov - Meeting 9am Saturday at Tim Horton's (the one on Industrial Way) departing Tim's at 9.30am, returning to Squamish around 3pm (ish) on Sun 3rd.
Why - Final club camp-out for 2019, November camping separate's the Men from the Boys, the Women from the girls, the Land Rovers from the Jeeps ... (you get the idea!)
What Else - As in past years, the club will be supplying a Tasty Dinner on Saturday night to all club members and their passengers.
- Lunch stop is planned at the Peaches & Cream Waterfall which is a fantastic waterfall to get under. We will also be driving through the "Car Wash", which is a waterfall over the road.
- Wrap up warm, it could drop down to zero deg's at night. It never hurts to put in that extra sleeping bag.... and pillow... hot water bottle...
- As always, there could be some BC pin-striping on some of the over-grown sections, it shouldn't be bad, but sometimes unavoidable.
- Mostly light off-road conditions, may get a little rougher in the last few km's.
- This is BC Wilderness, bring everything you may need for two days, there are no amenities once we leave Squamish.
- Please make sure you let us know if you are coming along so our Head Chef Shawn knows how much grub to bring along!
- Drivers to be Rover-Landers Members only ( Come on, if your not a member yet its only $3.33 a month!) Thank you :)

Cheers
Andy

This looks like an opportunity to test out my new (to me) Tepui roof tent and Rhino Rack Batwing.

I will confirm later in the week, but for now, count me in...

[rgallant]

I am in as well - I have not been up that way in about 8 years

[10180]

The 101 will not be in this one as we have friends visiting and if I disappeared and the 101 was not in its spot, it would be a long winter camped out in the garage in the back of the truck! Oh well.

Shawn, I do not know how you put the dinners together in short order like that, I am witness to a miracle worker and I will miss your culinary treats!

Looking forward to the stories and pictures.

Cheers,

Neil

Definitely interested to explore the area, hope driving thru "car wash" will clean the NWC mud on my LR... Count me in.

Cheers,
Sam

Please count me in :-)

Hi Andy, definitely interested in tagging along. How many miles do you think we'll do in total? Trying to figure out how much gas I'll need to bring along to keep the 2.25 going if I bring it.

[BjornErickson]

I’ll be jumping in with Colin this trip if things work out!

[ANDYD]

Hey Colin,

It's about 160 kms off-road, round trip, from Squamish, back to Squamish,...

Cheers
Andy

Dang... I was hoping to make it. Short notice squashed it for me, Mrs. had other plans already..

[bclandrover]

Pieter and I are planning to join.

Shawn, no need to over do it and please let us know if you need us to bring anything.

Its gonna be -4 or colder up there overnight. Bring your wool and double up your sleeping bags!!

Later,
Don

[ashek]

I am also in, despite the temperatures :)

Everything seems to be in good order, so confirming as per my previous post.

Hi All is it too late to join the gang? We are working on a few things but it looks like we can come as well.
All the best,
John, Sandrine and Loki...

Bjorn and I will be there Saturday morning, couldn't get a roof on the 109 in time, so will be joining in the 110.

Excellent End of Season run, a dozen Land Rovers enjoyed one the best November weather weekends for a long time!

A BIG shout out to Shawn (the worlds Most Interesting Man) who put together a wonderful Mexican feast for everyone out in the wilderness.
