Yes, it is a GO next Saturday. Rain or shine. An off-road drive starting at 9 AM Saturday, back at the farm about 5 to prepare for the pot-luck dinner. Breakfast by our household served on the deck at the house at 8 Sunday morning.
Camping in the field is welcome with most people staying over Friday and Saturday nights.
Greg and Erica Sutfin

Well...because my life is so planned out I need a bit more than one weeks notice. I might be able to make it out for the day. Sounds fun thanks.

Its been the weekend before Father's day for fourteen years. The first year it was Father's day weekend resulting in many last minute cancelations. It should be showing up on the Rover Landers calendar since February and I'm told was in "The Roverlander". So I'm just confirming that it is going to happen.
Please come if you are able. We are gone on a drive from 9 AM until about 5 then back at the farm.

My bad for sure. I never look at the calendar, just the forum event feeds. I need to be more on top of it.
I'll try to make it out for a day trip at least. looking forward to a day of wheeling. We all still running the same VHF channel?
Anyone driving down north of Nanaimo Saturday morning. Convoy?!!

What do you drive? I am thinking of coming down on Sat, but I drive a Roll-Can-Hardly 110 and don't want to hold people up. I am in Black Creek.

For some reason I didn't video me getting stuck and winched out of the creek so I'll blame that on the camera :roll:
