ROCKY MOUNTAIN CRUISE / 2019
First and fore-most a huge Thank you to Brian Lakusta, Paul Maciejowski and Jeff Wardlow. Scheduling, preparing tips and information pages, hotels, meal options, routes, maps, links for Park pass, photo-ops - videos, the cute countdown posts, and all the other information that was provided - like "WOW"! - Birthday celebrations for Raelene Cunningham was a special treat from her Corvette Family and Friends. All from different areas, we meet and started out Saturday morning from Hinton AB - Maligne Canyon - cruising past Medicine Lake - Maligne Lake - Jasper - Edith Cavell - Athabasca Falls, crusing past Icefields - and arriving at David Thompson Resort. I think for all of us that took - Edith Cavell for a rip - it was one of the highlights. Many of us (I am sure) were hanging on for dear life as the passenger. LOL!!!! I am also grateful that Marno/Donna Sekora and Darren/Raelene Cunningham were okay after almost being struck on the highway. (I am not sure if anyone else was with you - (if so we are thankful that nothing happened). I do believe that 31 or so people attended this event - and friendships new and old, young and old (hee..heee...!) were made - tons of laughter - smiles - and enjoying life to it's fullest. We all chatted around the Bon-fire with marshmallows and you know - just good ol' fashion fun! In the morning we all headed out to Abraham Lake and hung out - some going different way's and saying our goodbye's. A event that no doubt everyone will remember - Thanks to all of you - for making this a great time., and letting Daryl and myself join in. Please note if I missed anything or anyone - I want you know I truly did try to capture the events that unfolded.

For those wondering... 4 Corvettes had a motorhome coming at them on the wrong side of the road. Don't think there was cell service so maybe not texting, probably just enjoying the scenery.

Wow. Close one. Scary PDR stills.

I’m betting he’s a tourist from Europe. This happens quite often out there according to my Parks Canada buddy. It’s been a go to excuse for tourists from across the pond for years. It’s one of the reasons I have no interest in driving in countries where you drive on the other side of the road. Too push 4 cars off though ? That’s pretty irresponsible for sure.

Sounds reasonable Mike. I spent a month in Australia a few years back and never did anything like that. I could see a mental lapse and thinking you should be on the other side but definately not with another vehicle already occupying that lane and coming towards you....
