Fritz Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I just got a participant list from the Escape organizers and I am missing some of you guys on the list. Please make sure that you registration went through. Fritz Quote Link to comment
KevinJ Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I just checked via the Karelo.com web site and I have a confirmation number so assume it made it to Canada West Region. Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
Caymanwalter Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Kevin I think that list is for the Sunpeaks show and shine, which I posted in a seperate thread. Check if you are on it if you are participating. Quote Link to comment
KevinJ Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) Walter: Thanks! I've sent a note to the person who sent you the list as I thought I was signed up for the Show and Shine. Edited August 9, 2010 by KevinJ Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
Fritz Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Warning I got this message from a BC participant I discovered this problem last weekend when I travelled to Sun Peaks from Revelstoke B.C. West along the Trans Canada ( Hwy #1.) Most GPS navigation devices and Google maps give directions to turn right at Squilax Anglemont Road just before or the Pinantan road after Chase B.C. *_THIS ROAD IS A_**_N_**_ UNPAVED BACKROAD_* and should not be used unless you have an SUV or 4X4! I actually spoke to a number of tourists that were guided along this road in their poor rental cars. It is imperative that people coming to Escape should *drive through Kamloops and take the Yellowhead (Hwy #5) North then turn right at Old Highway 5* ( Heffley louis Creek road) to Sun Peaks.

JT997TT Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Looks like 5 or 6 cars so far. Any others? Fritz - any ideas on a good spot to stop for lunch?

Fritz Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I am still working on the convoy list. I will know tomorrow the final participants. Bert has a friend some where on rout, where we can stop and have a picnic lunch. I am waiting till Bert get's back home to advice where we will stop. Fritz Quote Link to comment
Mark Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi eveyone Yvette and I are going to extend our R&R by one day and are heading out Tuesday. Enjoy your drive and we'll see you when you get there. Mark and Yvette Quote Link to comment

Fritz Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Jim, I just talked to Bert and he informed me that we will have a spot in Revelstoke. A friend of his offered us his property / Campground where we can stop and have lunch. My gourmet picnic lunch menue is set hope all all come up with some good light lunch. Quote Link to comment
Caymanwalter Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Does McDonald's count as a gourmet lunch? Quote Link to comment
JT997TT Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Sounds good Fritz - looking forward to it. One more week to go!

Bert Leemburg Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi Everyone on the Wednesday Drive, I just spoke with my nephew Clayton and his wife Cathy in Revelstoke. So this is the "deal"! They own the campground 5 km West of Revelstoke (south side of the highway), it is called Smokey Bear Campground, easily seen by the big statue of "Smokey the Bear" cartoon character ( about 50 ft tall... well maybe 40 ft, eh). In the back is a covered area for events such as this, with tables and chairs, so just bring your lunch... the well water is excellent too! I will probably get there before the convoy, to be sure everything is set up! So Fritz, we will drive ahead and join the convoy after lunch... incidentally there is a Chevron gas station in Revelstoke, along the highway that sells 104 Octane, just find a lot of cash!!! See you there if not tonight at the meeting. Bert & Evelyn Leemburg Quote Link to comment
Caymanwalter Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hi Bert I am not sure you and I have ever met (we will next Wednesday:) ) but thanks for setting this up sounds like fun. My brother and I are both lazy though and can't make our own lunches so is there somewhere near by to stop and pick something up and then join back up with the group? PS: I do not carry food in my car :) Quote Link to comment
Fritz Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Walter, I think I can supply and share some of my lunch. It's a bit better than MacD. or the other guys. Fritz Quote Link to comment
Caymanwalter Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Ummm thanks fritz for the offer, but my brother and I will be just fine. Like I said we are lazy not cheap :D:D:D Quote Link to comment
KevinJ Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Walter: Please consider joining us for the lunch. Jane and I will bring a couple of appetizers type items for sharing and knowing Jane she'll probably try and sneak something into the car for quenching the thirst of the non drivers. Also reading the Thursday departure group's thread, it looks like going to Radium and then to Golden may give us better road quality and less road construction delays. Something for us to consider. I have 2 radios and can lend you one for the drive so you can stay in touch along the way with the rest of the convoy. Have a great day. Kevin Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
