Bruce and I set up a Google Calendar. Go to google. Search for google calendars and then search for Swamp Donkeys SnT. It may come up.

I had posted a link but I think it allows you to read the swamp mail. Will have to convert a pdf to a jpg so I can post up the calendar - for some reason I can't do it here at home, but can at work.

IF you happen to get the calendar to open - remember these dates / agenda aren't written in stone... it's very preliminary at this stage.

Well, I don't think that worked. Maybe you need to have a gmail account to search for the google calendar. I'm in the field tomorrow but I'll post up a jpg tomorrow eve. if Lowenbrau doesn't beat me to it.

Deny - google is your friend. Cabela's is cool. I'm game.

How bout Danner in Portland?
 
Google is not my friend, I have never met him and I don't even know who he is!

At least Danner sounds more like a normal name, I wouldn't mind meeting him, but Google? sounds like some kind of wierdo!

There is a new Cabella's in Lacey, WA, 1 minute off the I5 off exit 111 in Washington (about 1hr south of Seattle), if you end up coming north (or south) on I5.

My first trip to Cabellas lasted 3hrs and I don't think I saw everything.

Going to Cruisin' the Woods in Oregon this weekend with my son; we'll be stopping again to spend more time in the 'Gun Library'. You've got to see it to believe it.

Cheers,
Rob

Anybody looking for a available seat for the trip, or looking to fill a free seat and get some fuel money? I'm still unsure of whether I will take my truck or not. Would be nice to have it for sleeping in, but fuel wouldn't be cheap, and a solo drive would be pretty dull......

Harass Shaker (Marc). He says he doesn't want to spend the big money on fuel either.

Thanks, I'll send him a message. :cheers:

*Edit* Doesn't look promising on that front, Anyone else?

I'm gonna have to follow standard practice and tap out. Pulled a boner; was using the 1st weekend in Nov as my dates to book, so have that weekend off on holidays. Just a while ago I paid enough attention to realize S&T is the next weekend (of which at this point I am either working, or on conference from the 6-9 in Victoria. Place is still open on the 10th for anyone needing a bunk...but I might be on nightshift; we could at least do breaky before ya'll head out on the 11th. It would be good to catch up.

Bummer.

Well I guess we jumped the gun and won't be able to do SNT.:censor:
My daughter is moving to Coquitlam and the 60 is the designated moving van.
To top it off, the wife's work just signed her up for a course that week.
Have fun folks, maybe next year,:cheers:

I am really waffling on the trip myself. If the plan remains to return via I5 and I don't come, I would kick in fuel money to someone willing to mudship a cylinder head from Portland to somewhere Alberta-ish. (or could see if I can arrange for it to be brought down to Pismo....)

Sensibility be damned, I am going to make the trip. I've let the tailgate guy know, so if he can get it here in time, I'll take care of that. I'm planning to either go down or return via I5 and Portland, but if anyone else is still going, I am flexible for convoying. If anyone needs something mudshipped, let me know.

We're open to the circle route as long as I can get 2hrs roaming around Cabela's in SLC.
Not enough time I know but I'll take it:grinpimp:
Good place to stop for food too!
