So... Who's going besides Bill, Andy and me? How many trucks? Where are we rendezvousing? What time?

Who's running the show?

Whaaaah?

Ok, here are some details for the upcoming run to Blow down Pass - Texas Creek - Ochi Basin - Molybdenite Peak ....
Heading up the Sea to Sky H-way we can have the following meeting spots along the way;
Saturday
09:00-09:30 Breakfast at Tim Hortons / Wendys in Squamish
11:00-11:15 Meeting at the Petro Canada Gas station in Pemberton (Hway 99 and Portage Rd)
Noon - Meeting at Duffey Lake
- From Duffey Lake an hour off-road takes us to 6500ft Lunch (1pm) at the top of Blow Down Pass (amazing views over the Stein Valley)
After lunch we will head to Lilooet and then onto Texas Creek / Ochi Basin.

We can make Base camp (plan on camping camping Sat night) in the Ochi Basin meadows under the Molybdenite Peak and depending on weather / clouds etc can choose to head up to the ridge at 7000ft Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning (or both) It would be really neat to see the sun set (or sun rise) from the top of the ridge.

Like always, let us know if you plan on coming along and where you intend to meet the group so we can look out for you.
Cheers, Andy

Hi,

I'm a long-time lurker on the forum, but I'm hoping to make this my first club run. I'll be driving a white 109, and hope to make it up for breakfast in Squamish.

Welcome on board Derek and Mike.

There will be oportunity to get gas at both Pemberton and Lilooet, so you shouldn't need to carry any extra gas.

On saying that, never hurts to have a spare gallon on board :? ......

I wish we had been able to go! Definitely was one of the best rips I'd ever been on last year and looks like you had similar or even better conditions this year.

cheers, Dave
