Changing forecast???

As usual environment Canada has changed its' mind again. Could be damp days now up to the 20th...but the 21st for the trip down to the coast from Kamloops is still looking good.

I'm still many hours away from having a running car, but we're working on it!

I wondering if anyone can tell me what the host hotel is in Langley or if they are doing a sort of gathering in Langley tomorrow night? I couldn't make it this time around and would love to just come out and say hi

It was a short leg (1 day) that Karen and I got to hang with the group; howevere it was a great time!!! It was very good to see a bunch of the Gang we haven't see for some time, and as usual, met a whole bunch of 'new' folks!! We look forward to participating the next time something of this nature comes up. Thanks everyone for making us feel welcome! Hope the journey is fantastic!!!
Greg & Karen

Val & I made the trip from Kamloops down to Langley and also enjoyed the banquet thoroughly. We did take nearly 300 photos, so I will try and start posting the good stuff later this evening.

The weather couldn't have been better for that leg...must have been my great voodoo dance that did it! Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Having to take the Honda instead of the '33 was a huge letdown...next time.

 

[cocobolo]

Sorry folks...just spent over an hour fighting with Photobucket and couldn't get a single pic to load. I'll try again tomorrow.

 

[cocobolo]

Trying again

From the tour a few days ago.

Looks like it's working again...the above pic was taken at the Squilax-Anglemont highway and the Number 1 as the tour was headed in to Kamloops. This is 10 kms east of Chase.

 

[cocobolo]

We spent about 2 1/2 hours there waiting patiently as the cars came through in small groups. Enjoyed every minute of it.

 

[cocobolo]

Dunno what happened to that second photo...here's some more.

Still racing by...

Nice sunny day as you were all headed in to Kamloops.

Hmmm, looks like I missed a whole lot of cars. Sorry about that. We'll make up for it at Kamloops.

More to come...

 

[cocobolo]

A notice just popped up on the Photobucket site...doing some maintenance, so there may be some performance issues.

I'll post what I have and come back later for more punishment.

A few left to go.
