We will have the restaurant all to our selves
OK, need to know if some would like to do the final 4pm tour of Boo Grizzly at the Saturday night hotel
I will do a show of hands who wants to do it at the Sat am drivers meeting

It is approx $30 ( $25 for seniors ) and does have a guide, the grizzly is located half way up the mountain and you take a chairlift to get there.
Those who might want to do this might be better to skip a short stop in Radium to make it in time. We will see how times goes
Maybe park and do the tour then check in after or before if you have time
Need to know IF you want to do the Grizzly tour and how many of you

OK, info and tips
Two way radios - we will pick two channels, one for only announcements ( quiet channel ) and one that would be a fun socializing channel
bring / borrow / buy 1-2 two way radios if you want
If you buy a radio don't buy one the uses AA/AAA batteries, heard they are no good. Watch for sales on mid priced ones with battery packs in them.
Bring bug spray and sunscreen
If you wish to wash your car in Golden bring some car soap a the car wash I guess is lacking this - we have one CCF person who lives in Golden
Also dry prior to not have water spots. Been told this by the Golden Corvette owner.
Now the reason for washing bugs off is to have less bugs for the one car at a time photo shoot at Emerald Lake Sunday mid day
