The Rover-Landers of BC

Hi all,
Anyone interested in going to the Bible Camp for a day or an over night run? The plan is for a weekend in early March. I've contacted the pastor and he said we are welcome to use it anytime, we just need to let him know in advance.


Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete,
The Bible camp is a great run. I would be able to make the 2nd weekend in March if that works for you?

cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy,
I've heard back from several people (no Rover guys) that are interested in going and so far the plan is currently for March 3/4. If that a bad for you, I can see if the others are interested in the second weekend instead.

Regards,
Pete

Hi Pete,

See if they can move back one weekend, if not no worries I will catch you on the next run,

cheers,
Andy :D

Any more details on the run is it still on as Im batching it that weekend and have not done the bible camp run before.

Cheers
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Sorry it's taken a couple days to get back to you, this working for a living is really getting in the way of my fun. I've been so busy, I even forgot there was a RoverLanders meeting tonight...

Anyway, as stated above, the run will take place the weekend of March 3/4. I think nearly everyone is interested in camping there, so I expect we'll stay over on Saturday night. Some people are going over Friday night and staying with relatives, but most of us will be taking the ferry on Saturday morning.

So far, there are 4 or 5 Mogs, 2 4Runners, and a Toyo PU. The details of where and when we'll meet are still TBD and will be decided next week. Suggestions are welcomed.

If you want to see what the trail is like, check out the pictures from last year's run on the RoverLanders website. If you'd like to join us, you can post here, PM me at [email protected], or call me at 604.505.0541.

Hi Andy,
Sorry, it seems that changing to a different weekend will be problematic for some so we're going to stick to the original plan. :-( With no Rovers so far, looks like it's going to an Axis weekend. A Fiat would help complete my diabolical plan...

Regards,
Pete

:oops: You're right, I guess I blew that one... You Allies and your Jeeps! Do you know how many people/vehicles will be joining?

Pete

Yo the lone disco is in!

Working on sorting out my schedule, but I think I'm game! I guess the German engine and Japanese Transmission in my Ford plants me squarely in the Axis camp as well, eh?

Hi Steve,
It'll be great if you can join us. As for your truck, Axis on the inside, Allies on the outside, you should be careful that you don't get shot as a spy...

Next weekend is the Sunshine Coast Bible camp run. :D I need to know who's in so I can give a vehicle and body count to the pastor. The plan is to take the 7:20 ferry on Saturday morning (March 3) and meet at the Sechelt Extra Foods parking lot between 9:00 and 9:30. There's lots of room for camping and most people seem interested in staying on Saturday night and taking the ferry back mid day on Sunday.

I'd like to get the count finalized within the next few days so if your are planning on attending, please let me know ASAP.

Thanks and hope to see you there,
Pete

Hi Pete,
I have managed to juggle a few things around & make the 3rd & 4th available. :D
So see you on the 7.20am Saturday ferry.

Andrew, glad you can make it. Any other Rovers getting "cabin fever" & want to join us???

cheers,
Andy

Hi Wes,
Sounds good, we'll see you there.

Hi Andy,
I'm glad you can manage to make it, it should be fun. Kris will be joining us and Mark as well if work allows. I haven't heard from any other Rover guys.

Lookin' forward to it,
Pete

I'm planning on joining for just the day. Jack has a hockey game on Sunday so I can't stick around. My kids will probably elect not to come along when they find out how early I'm hitting the road.

Hi Steve,
See you at the ferry.

Regards,
Pete

Will try and get CB hooked up but anyone on VHF see you in the line up sat.
cheers
Andrew

Andrew,
Some have VHF radios and others CBs, if you have at least one, that's great. Of course, both would be better, then you could talk to everyone and help "bridge" comms between the two.

Pete

Looks like you guys had a great time!

Dave

Thanks -- I had a great day (although my arms & legs were a bit sore on Sunday)! I'll definitely have to head over there with the kids this summer and spend a few days at that site.

Great trail, a little rough going & lots of snow....just how we like it!!
It was good to meet lots of new faces & a diverse mix of trucks, including three unique Unimogs. (only one LR :cry: )

If you haven't been out to the bible camp, best go this year because the old buildings are fast dissapearing!

cheers,
Andy & Bailey :D

Hey guys,
I had a great time as well. I was happy to see that one LR made it out anyway. I'll be getting my fuel tank reinstalled this weekend so the next run will be with the 110.

Andy, where did you and Bailey end up camping? I hope things worked out well and Bailey had fun, despite not camping at the Bible camp.

Steve and Wes, I'm glad you guys made it out with the rest of the Turtles. Special thanks to Steve for all the work with the saw. Steve, you and your Stihl are welcome on any future Mog run! :wink:

Regards,
Pete
