Okay, You caught me ~ the wax job won't be ready. I think I am going to make passionate love to her then give her a full brazilian and make passionate love to her again. First I will give her a nice hot bath to soften up the surface; then I will break out the power tool and give her a good old fashion buffing; then I get into the heavy polishing... smiles. Considering #1 Yellow Stock Brazil or might stick with giving her a bit of the English, either way she will be a knock out.

I was reading my altimeter and it looks like really nice weather, you guys should have a really good time! Have a drink for me and MLB!

By the way, Profister, nice shorts!

1am, not even finished packing but that will do for now!

I'll be joining Profister along with Quebecdelica for a 9am departure from the Esso station at the Canada Way exit off hwy1. We'll be going for brunch out of town and will wait for the rest of the crew.

Drive safe!

So I heard. I arrived in Hope at 0900, after a good run and a lovely night sleep under a full moon on a forestry road N of Merritt. I'm now in the Blue Moose awaiting your arrival.

Why is it that the one with the longest trip is the first to arrive?!? :-D

Hello All,

So, we had a great weekend, only real rain was Sunday but we spent that day driving around checking our future camping areas. You'll see photos posted from the others.

We managed to get the 6 Delicii to about 35 km on the road, at the park boundary (versus 23 km last week, amazing how much snow had melted in 5 days since we checked out the area last weekend). Delicat found us a great site right on the creek edge with a lovely open sunny view. Profister had a the big tarp to shelter the communal area, Sima is the champion fire builder. Erebus demonstrated to QuebecDelica "Jacques" how to get towed out of the mud, and then Jacques returned the favour 20 minutes later by pulling Erebus out of the snow, thus demonstrating how quickly he learnt to tow a stuck delica -- reminder to not follow Delicat with his lifted delica. Missy & Fexlboi have a shiny new roof rack which also is great to tie the tarpaulin to. Jay TardisDeli had made a new stainless steel tripod and cast iron cooking system for the campfire so everyone could easily cook while sitting round the campfire. Heidi provided fireside entertainment. A great time had by all.

Saturday after leisurely campfire breakfast, we all walked through the Othello Tunnels north of Hope (and commented how the trail is perfect Delicii width). Sunday we drove through the Vedder Mountain trail system, & Chilliwack backroads.

Now, the planning starts for the May long weekend.

Cheers, Christine.

It's sure different to see the video 2 from an outside perspective... Didn't realized the water/mud made it to my headlights!

Had a great weekend with good friends as usual, thx everyone!

Here's a few videos of the weekend. Maybe we spent too much time driving/exploring around but it's hard not to when in a Delica...

This one shows Fexlboi's skid plate in action:

This is Quebecdelica crossing a rocky washout:

And my perspective from inside the van... glad to see in the last seconds of the video that I wasn't the only one laughing!
