Okanagan Mini Meet - Sat Nov 21st - Vernon - 1pm start time

[trialsmaster2]

Now that we have quite a few Okanagan area members, we should get a real mini meet together. Let's see if we can get a half dozen Delicas or something together.

What weekends work for everyone? I'd be up for a Vernon meet on Saturday November 21st location TBA with some 4X4ing afterwards.



After a quick phone call this past Sunday, almac and I met up in Armstrong to check out our Delicas (mainly, so I could check out his new Delica!). Here are some pics from that mini meet.

I'd like to join in, but Vernon next weekend is a bit too far on such short'ish notice, besides work right now is nucking futs. I would be in for something a little closer, maybe Kelowna or even further south like Penticton...? We could definitely do 3 or 4 just from Penticton alone.

[trialsmaster2]

Kelowna is certainly an option too. I'm pretty flexible that way.

I think we would be up for that, maybe a little safari up to a mountain lake and a little campfire action or something?

[almac]

sure!
i would really like to do something off road. or camp for a night or 2!
this weekend is free for me, so i plan on doing SOMETHING in my deli anyways... meet of not.

hmm, maybe i should get my fishin lisence renewed, and cook us up some trout!

pick a place guys.
im open to pretty much anything, provided its on a weekend.

Hey Gang,

I'm definitely up for a meet. unfortunately I'll probably be out of town this weekend backcountry skiing. Keep me posted if dates change. Vernon definitely works for me (since I live here ) but I'd be willing to go to Kelowna as well.

Cheers,
Steve

Roll call for a Saturday November 21st 2009 meet in Vernon:

If I've missed anyone, let me know, or invite them along too. I has been suggested that we do an off road trip as part of this get together. Perhaps after our initial meet and greet, we could do a trip to King Edward Lake and beyond (pics from past trips can be found here, for those that haven't been up that way before: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trialsmast ... 416300549/)?

Im in, Need time and place.

[trialsmaster2]

Time and place...

How about we meet Saturday Nov 21st starting at 1pm at the Vernon Canadian Tire (4510 27th Street). Let's stick to the more deserted corner of the parking lot (where 27th street and Husky border the parking lot).

Diesel, for those who are running low:
Super Save across the street from Canadian Tire
Husky right next door to Canadian Tire

Food, for those that haven't eaten lunch:
Subway is about a block away
Pizza Hut is across the street
Canadian Tire and other gas stations would have snacks too.
and probably other places that I can't think of right now

At approx. 2pm, for those that want to continue on and go for a 4X4 trip, let's head from Canadian Tire, right on 27th street, and left on Highway 6 to King Edward Forestry Road. From there we can head up to King Edward Lake or other areas up there.

[PlantDrive]

Sounds good, I can make it for 1PM parking lot meet, at least...not sure about the 4x4 trip.

[trialsmaster2]

Woohoo. This is looking like it'll be a decent little meet for it being such short notice.

Aaron

[almac]

im in.
i need to goto CT on saturday 21, for a quick buy anyways.

[trialsmaster2]

Well, that was a fun meet. It was nice to meet Ed and Larry. Of course, I was nice to meet up with Al again too. The quick trip up to King Edward lake after was fun too...chilly but fun. Here are some pics. The entire album can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trialsmast ... 731316677/

Snow on our Mitsumaple...doesn't get much more Canadian than that!

Thanks Aaron for arranging the meet. It was good to be able to talk to other owners, see a couple of WVO installs and exchange ideas and experiences. Sorry I didn't have time to go to KEL ----maybe next time.
