SCWDP Round-Up '04

[Doug Zielke]

With the dust hardly settled from this years Round-Up, I'm already thinking about next years event. To help with the thought process, I'd appreciate any suggestions from this years attendees. Post here or send to my e-mail. And thanks again to all who made this years Round-Up a great event.

I think it should be in Canada, eh.

[Tim Polzin]

Doug, need you ask? You can count on Alberta being represented. In the Okanagan perhaps?

See Glenn, you can pick up the Queen's English.

[Drago]

I've never been to Banff, eh.

[finadict]

Well we have gone, north and south, west would be pretty short, .do international thing east, North Cascade's highway than where ever

[island911]

ooh, hey der Marc, Beauty thinkin', eh?
Would be fun to kick aboat in Banff.
I hear it's a beauty, eh?

(I'm trying Tim)

I do like Pats idea of an international thing. Part of what made this years so much fun was people picked up on the route at various times. . . at various places.

[arcsine]

Banff sounds neat. Just make sure we are not there during the elk rut. I don't wish to be chased around by a large horned (and horny) beast.

[Jamie79SC]

How 'bout Vancouver Island? Maybe a drive to Ukulet?

[finadict]

The problem with the island is lack of pavement, motor homesand boat trailers.
The road to Ucluelet turns to gravel right outside of Port Alberni, at least it did the last time I was there. The North island is great but its also just 1 2lane road.

[Jamie79SC]

That's odd. I did that road a couple of years ago and it was paved all the way. Couldn't stop thinking how cool it would have been in the 911...

Yah, sure...international is da way to go.

There is a reason we call it the "Rain Forest Region Round-Up"....

Besides, PNW'ers are all so pasty white we'd blind you as we got out of our cars

[1fastredsc]

DAMN, there aren't really any get together's here. Or at least any annual ones that i can plan on next year after i'm finished with the sc.

[Drago]

These "get-togethers" do not happen without someone stepping up and planning them.

Step up and they will come...

[Tim Polzin]

Somthing to consider if you go "international". We crossed at Sumas and came back at Creston, took an hour coming and 45 minutes going. All you need is a heightened alert and those times could easily double.

[i]Besides, PNW'ers are all so pasty white we'd blind you as we got out of our cars [/B]

So how come you let us in?

Tim

[Doug Zielke]

Enjoying all the replies.
I think Marc learned (organizing his first Round-Up) that simple is best.
That is one reason I would avoid an "International" aspect to the event.
The borders are a hassle, especially these days.

Anyway....
Find a map of Southern B.C. and have a look around Nelson and Castlegar. That is the area I'm leaning towards for Round-Up '04.
And like it was this year, next years event will likely be a full 2 day run.

[Drago]

Tim [/B]

Cuz' ya drive a Carrera.

Edit: I agree with the border crossing thing...do it as little as possible.

[Al S]

You got my vote on Nelson/Castlegar, Doug, since that's where I grew up (I did grow up, honest). There are roads and scenery there that will, well, ......let Gunter explain. Heck, we could stop for lunch at the Kootenay renowned "Hungry Wolf" in Winlaw, my home town. Maybe I'll even have time to say Hi to my parents!

[island911]

Well alright! . . . .party at Al's parents place.
