Thoughts on a Meet-Up Next Weekend - Sat 27-June-2026

[bladedog]

Who = All of You!!! Bill - I'll take you as co-pilot.
What = It's about time us slack-@sses got together for an 'official meeting'.
When = Thinking of Saturday, 27-June-2026, about 9am until noon/early-afternoon.
Where = White Rock, BC. East parking area (gravel lot).
Why = I miss you alot!
This location is chosen because the 'easterners' don't have to drive through or near Vancouver proper. the 'southerners' (aka our North Sound Cruiser friends) don't have to travel too far, and the 'northerners' (those on the N side of the Fraser River) actually have km's of 'freeway' and not too much city driving.

Perhaps coffee and donuts, and lunch at a local fish-n-chips.

Please let me know who's excited about this and will be there.
Those of you who can't better have pretty darn-good excuses!!!

Is this kind of those secret disappearing messages?

Close to my house I would have stopped by for sure but will be out of town ,

And, you 'westerners' across the pond on that Victorian island of "prim & properness" are most welcome to cross the pond too!

That's a pretty good excuse, not great, but it'll do . Better make it to Cruiser Days!

I'm in, Franz, if I can catch a ride with you.

Without you, I wouldn't be able to find the place!

 

[AJAEbj42]

I'll come for sure! I could use some good fish-n-chips and catch up with you guys! (there is no FIFA match that day thankfully)
Changed my appt for the am to 3pm. I should be there at 9ish...

WITH SHIRTS!! $30 each

No go for me sadly. Away from the LML for a bit. While it’s a pay lot that’s a great spot to meet as just across the tracks is dog beach. If I read the table correctly low tides at 10:48 Saturday. Unless the rules have changed (it’s been a few years for me) it’s a good space for the 4 legged critters to burn some energy.

Fun gathering yesterday, coffee and donut holes to start, and really good fish and chips to finish. Oh, yeah, some great catching up as well.
Weather was forecast for chance of showers, but it was sunny, with some clouds, and a warm breeze. Yes, White Rock is the San Diego of the Lower Mainland!
Rob, Andrew and Magdalena came in from Abby, Andrew from 15 min away (lucky lad to live that close to a beautiful beach), and Kristin and I from Vanc.
Kristin was able to supply the patches and air for Andrew's Suzuki flat tire that he sustained while trying to run the border... ok, he just missed the turn off the highway and had to u-turn just before customs, where he must have driven over a spike strip.
Unfortunately Bill was unable to make it, but we spoke well about him .
Nothing was planned, other than confirming where we'll meet for next weekends' 4WDABC Show and Shine in Mission.
Hope we can see more of you there!

Yup, it’s always sunny in WR.

At least it seems to be, as if there is any blue on a cloudy day in Abby it’s usually to the west and planted over Whiterock.

Have fun at the 4WDABC event.
