Yesterday was the annual Kelowna toy run. Pictures sucked due to the falling snow so they are not magazine worthy but fun to share on the web. We had over 50 trucks and put a nice pile of toys in the back of the Salvation Army truck. They came out with hot coffee for everyone.
We met in a Rutland mall parking lot - think Westbrook centre in Langford. The meet started before 9am and the trucks starting rolling around 10am. The trailhead was about 3-4 miles away so it was a nice easy drive for all the big trucks that were out. The rigs were a huge mix from completely stock to 49-inch tires. Quite a few of the big boys were out. We ran what would be considered an easy route that still created some difficulty considering the wide array of 4x4's and driver experience. Ice slicked up some of the short hills and made a few nervous. It was a fun day - not to cold -5 or so with falling snow all day. After the run the group got together at a local play pit for a fire and some prizes. All and all a fun day in the snow!
