Good question... I will have a friend from Brazil with me so likely it will be an early morning shoot from YEG to YYC to meet up with the gang for the launch.
My friend is very excited to see the Rocky Mountains and ride in a Corvette. He’s a great guy and speaks better English than me. 😂

I hope we are not too much of a handful for them 😂.
But seriously... and without expectations, I am truly looking forward to what the day has to offer.
👍🏻Thx Mike

You’ll have to go topless once we get on the 1A. His neck will be too sore looking up in no time.
 
Sitting around during the Jays game I decided on some take out. Well,I ended up doing a little bit of the planned cruise and took some mileage notes instead. Anyway,this is what I’ve noted down. I only went as far as the Kananaskis travel centre/Stoney Nakoda casino. From there to Highwood pass is approx 80 kms.

From the departure point at Bowfort road McDonald’s/Petro Canada to the Morley turnoff is 46.4 kms

From the Morley turnoff to the 1A is 3.5 kms.

From the 1A to the 1X is 21 kms.

From the 1X to the Casino is 5.0 kms.

As we leave Calgary,not 10 seconds into the journey we’ll be blessed with a splendid view of the Nenshi Towers. Feel free to take your own picture as I’ve yet to see a postcard showing this bit of “money well spent”. It really is something that you’ll scratch your head over. This is on the return trip. Our meeting place is in the background.

Here’s a little teaser on the 1A from an old long since torn down gas station to just about the turnoff for the 1X.




Here’s a little drive around in the travel centre lot and the casino.

What I mean by videos Jim is I’d probably get some walk around video at the stops and post them for the rest of the forum. Particularly the Upper Lake lot if we choose to stop there.

Lots of time before the next cruisers meeting August 7. I’m going to talk to Wayne later today about the route. Ive got 2 options in mind and again will put that up for comments.

Again Jim,cruise day will be August 17 so that’s a few days before your Kentucky departure. And of course your wife would be welcome.

Thanks Wayne for your interest. Would be great if both you and Lynn can make it.

As for the meeting,it will be held at Shaganappi August 7 at 6pm. Wayne will be sending out an email this coming week I hope. I might venture up there shortly and see if he’s around and give him a poke. Everyone usually just meets outside the showroom around the first Vette that shows up. Last month @Cariboocreek was the muster point.

I’m going to edit in an “people interested” list and will put you on it for now. Again,thank you for considering coming.

I’ll wander in again next week and ask him. We have too much drama going on with a couple of guys on the mid day shift for him to do the paperwork.
 
Taxpayer equipment too risky for it. Otherwise everyone will want one for their wedding, births, deaths and perhaps even announcing that they just got a Corvette ... 😂
So I can definitely see the “rejected” on the request form.

Pretty cool still even if just in the yard ... if the truck mirror wasn’t in the way of the wheel ... one could always photoshop it on the side of a road 😂

Must be lots of decent size earthworks/pipe/paving contractors down there that routinely do contracts for the city... Bet they have lots of programmable signs sitting around....lol
