At the meeting on Tues. nobody showed interest in this coming weekend so we changed it to Sunday, Feb. 17th
Meet at 9:30 at the Timmy's in Mill Bay - we'll head up Shawnigan and more than likely find lots of snow!

I may not make it ... Sunday is looking like the day that ram assist gets installed on the YJ.

I'll be there - looks like a good day for some Cruisin'!
Gee - right after I posted this I listened to the 8:00 am news on CFAX and they said there are two separate people that are being searched for in the Shawnigan Lake Renfrew Road area. One guy went missing on Thursday, and while they were looking for him on Saturday, they found somebody else's truck - now they're looking for the truck owner too.
Anyways - that's where we're headed, so I guess we'll know more later...

Weather was Spectacular - It was just Glyn and Lucas, and Alex and I. We drove up Renfrew Road to the intersection up top where the high road and low road converge. Found a full-size Ford that had spent the night there after some knob tried his luck in the snow on tires not much better than summer treads. Looks like they had spent some time trying to get unstuck before hoofing it out. No-one around, so we left it as we found it. We headed a very short ways towards Weeks, but with only two vehicles we didn't push our luck. We turned around, followed the highroad back towards Koksilah, lunched in the sun overlooking the valley. We also met some folks that were searching for the two missing dudes. Doesn't sound like they had any luck finding anyone today. Met another couple on an ATV that thought they were alone on the mountain - weren't wearing much more than a t-shirt when we passed 'em.  Guess they didn't figure on a mountain road crawling with search-and-rescue types either. Heh. Ended up driving out of there rather early, and on the way home, we explored the new Goldstream Heights subdivision - man, there were some awesome views of the peninsula, Finlayson Arm, and Mount Baker. Good Day. |
