Invite: Whipsaw trip, August 20th

Some of us VI Cruisers are doing the Whipsaw trail, starting August 20th. Let me know if you're interested in joining us. Here's the official thread with details:

Whipsaw Expedition, August 20th


We will be leaving Saturday morning, August 20th.

For those in the lower mainland, we'll be meeting at the Tim Hortons at 7670 Vedder Road, Chilliwack, at approximately 10am to 10:30am. We will be LEAVING Tim Hortons at 11:00am exactly. Don't be late! The plan is to convoy up the Coquihalla and going in the back way through Brookmere, which is apparently shorter and more scenic. Jason from CruisinOffRoad has done this way before so we should be fine.


For those coming from the interior (and any latecomers), we will meet you at Lodestone Lake. We'll be setting up camp on the far side of the lake. HERE are directions for reaching Lodestone Lake from both directions. (interior or lower mainland) We will be there before dusk Saturday evening.

We will be on CB radio and FRS/GMRS radio, both on channel 6.0. My cell is ****.

How 'bout we take the Coquihalla? It will probably be a bit more direct than the Malahat :p
 
Obviously i've been on the island waaaaay too long. We could take the malaht but the water crossing may be a bit much. Yes, let's take the coquihalla instead!
 
UPDATE: Ray isn't able to come over to the mainland until Saturday morning. Therefore, I've had to adjust our start date. Please see my post above.

We will be leaving Saturday morning, August 20th at 11:00am. All other details stay the same!

You only doing two nites then heading home?
 
That was the plan due to Rays work schedule. However, depending on the circumstances Greg and I may stay longer and go explore somewhere else around princeton. We'll play it by ear...
 
So anyone else from CC going? Or is it up to me to represent?

I'm coming, Pete. Looking forward to having you along! Nice to see I won't be the only one pulling a trailer.

Which way are you guys going in from? There is a slim chance I might head out that way, for one night anyways.

We're going in from the Tulameen end. We'll be taking a back road in from the Coq. Saturday night at Lodstone, Sunday night at Wells.
 
If you guys were going in the real way via Whipsaw trail , I might go !
