Nov. 08 Swamp Donkey Road Trip

Ratpuke · 03-27-08, 11:57 AM

Who's up for going to Pismo this year?

RockDoc · 03-27-08, 02:44 PM

Looks like it would be a blast. I'm thinking I might head down that way through the summer though.

Ratpuke · 03-27-08, 03:10 PM

That's cool. I've been to Pismo 3x. 2x at the events and 1x on our own. The 1x on our own was fun, but not nearly as cool as during the event.

RockDoc · 03-27-08, 03:28 PM

Who knows, maybe when November comes, I'll be desperate to get away from school....

You don't have to register for S 'n T, do you?

Deny · 03-27-08, 03:29 PM

Was thinking about it, still am, just that my BCIA Peach Branch AGM is on that friday, so it would be pretty tight.

MudMonkey · 03-27-08, 04:28 PM

Yeehaw! Road trip! Can't wait.

Can we make sure to bring more dogs this time, I think at least 5 or 6 would be just the right number.

And they have to be big. And slobber lots.

It wouldn't be a road trip without.

RockDoc · 03-27-08, 05:48 PM

I could borrow a great dane. He would go freaking nuts over the trip and the beach!

Skip it. Whatever it is.

Deny · 03-27-08, 11:07 PM

Oops did I say Peach, I ment Peace River Branch of the BC Institute of Agrologists. Can't just skip it, I will know if I can or not closer to the actual date.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought you were going to the spa for a facial or something.

That would be nice too, but it wouldn't make me skip a Cruiser event though

Ratpuke · 03-31-08, 02:09 PM

Anyway, hope you can make it Deny. Bruce, Marc, Peter, Hayley and Jessica/Clayton are pondering the trip. I've looked into having a Swamp Donkey flag done up and have started saving the money from all the bottles I took in from the party.

So.... maybe I'll just have to have 6 more parties and we'll have enough empties to pay for a flag.

jfc · 04-01-08, 12:53 PM

might need more parties, Denys on a three beer diet

Deny · 04-01-08, 01:47 PM

Only for a while, don't worry, camping season is a whole different story.

RockDoc · 07-22-08, 01:45 AM

Who all is in now? I'm thinking I'll cut out a trip home at Thanksgiving to save time/gas money for S'nT instead.

lowenbrau · 07-22-08, 07:51 AM

I'm about 75 percent at the moment but I'm expecting to get some news tomorrow that will increase that.

Ratpuke · 07-22-08, 07:56 AM

Still planning. FYI we have $80 saved up in our flag fund now.

ngiri · 09-12-08, 07:52 PM

Hey we're in!

Any route plan and timetable available yet?
Dave

Ratpuke · 09-12-08, 09:07 PM

Wicked. No route plans or time table. What're your preferences?

Deny · 09-13-08, 11:02 AM

90% in at this time will know more end of the month, early october. I wouldn't mind takeing a bit more time and see if someone could take me through the rubicon trail while I am already down there. Possibly swing around to vagas too on the way back?
Cheers,
Deny

Greg_B · 09-13-08, 12:33 PM

Well...I've booked the time off work for the last few years, and never been able to pull the trigger. Maybe this year:-)

What's the route plan? Ya'll can make your way here on day one for a stayover/visit, then kick my ass into the truck in the AM for the next leg...

RockDoc · 09-13-08, 12:34 PM

I'll have to be a good boy in the mean time so I can afford the time and gas come November.

The little man my hatch-hole it itching to get out and explore more of the world.

(hmmm. wonder who will follow that reference?)

Deny · 09-13-08, 06:22 PM

I think the rubicon stuff was really just wishing, I think all said and done it will probably turn into a drive all day thurs, friday, do up SNT, then head home monday tuesday. But I will see later exactly.

Ratpuke · 09-13-08, 06:53 PM

My plans depend on Bruce. If he's leaving Random in Vegas then maybe he can fly out to Abbotsford to hook up with Greg and join the convoy as we head down from the N. Not sure if that works out at all for Rockdoc though... But then if I have to take Bruce to Vegas then that doesn't really work. I dunno yet.

Don't worry about me. If you head through this way, I'll join up, if not, I'll meet up in Kamloops or what-have-you. Hell, if Bruce flies down, and you need a seat, I doubt I can find anyone more inappropriate to ride with me.

I don't mind the ass-stamper either.

ngiri · 09-13-08, 09:27 PM

Straight south trip from PG would be the best for us, but we are nothing if not adaptable. It would be very cool to convoy
down.
I'll be taking 2 weeks off so the timetable is also adaptable.

Y'all can crash here if you get a late start out of the Peace Country.

Hey Ratpuke, I'm gonna need a sticker for the new ride, don't send it, just bring it with you, thanks.

Dave

Ratpuke · 09-13-08, 09:43 PM

okily....

RockDoc · 09-13-08, 11:05 PM

Hmm, maybe I can perfect manifold-bake cheesecake by then...

lowenbrau · 09-14-08, 12:46 AM

I can either fly to Vegas to pick up my truck or ride down with Marc and Peter. If y'all are heading down the I-5 (God help you) I'll meet you at the beach.

How's the flag fund doing now?
