Event Drumheller Trip 16,17 - 16-Sep-2017

[YFCvii]

Thanks Eric ... You are looking out for us aren'tcha? Thanks
Freda and I went thru last Saturday night at about 11pm ... a bit dark to use for reference.
I did however take pics of a Saturday Morning (Aug 26th) at 7:00 am'ish for Peters Drive-In.
Here's what we should have in store for our meeting point everyone ... we meet at 8am to 8:30 I believe ...
It is a cool parking lot with the tables and all ... Freda's vette at Second Cup in the Pano-Pic
Oh yes ... mentioned to the Second Cup Girls that we are going to be there Sept 16, as they
will be open and should have great Coffee all ready for us. Shell V-Power just to the South
with a McD's too.

Thanks SN-III or checking this out. I was hoping for a good location with lots of space and coffee near by. Looks perfect.
See you then.

We also bought 40 name tag gizmos ... good for up to about 20 cars. These are pin on type and not sticky or clip on ...

I went to Staples and they were sold out. I bought stick on tags, but these are much better. Thanks you very much for getting them.

two way radios........

Some brought radios on the Lake Louis trip. Possibly a good idea for those that have them.

Except don't bother bringing the good radios that require you to enter and actual frequency as you cannot seem to get the freq out of the ones that you only select "channels" even though they obviously operate on a frequency

You have the fancy ones.....

Ya, the ones with channels ------ I don't recommend buying the cheapest ones... as some of those take AA and they drain them fast. Try find the $60-90 pair ones on sale....

Now if you give one to Jeff he will tell jokes the whole trip...... well many of his jokes are funny.

Only two weeks left boys and girls.

I will bring my cheap radios. Supposed to have a 25 mile range, but work best if you never loose sight of the car in front of you. They may go 3 miles in a vehicle on a calm day with a tail wind, sunny skies, dry roads and 121 kms hr. Just saying.

cutting back to 117 km hr gets you another 1/2 mile extra range



Ya, the long range might be mountain peak to hill peak........ 1-3 miles is more realistic. Still decent to have as long as too much chatting from everyone doesn't ruin your drive... especially if your listening to music!

Sounds like fun ,Will see what we can do, but we will try and join in for the cruise part from Red Deer on for the day, then will probably return home for the evening as we only live in Stettler.

Since you are electronics savvy it will be interesting to see if you can figure out what channels the damn things are actually on so I can tune mine. Otherwise I won't bother bringing it as I will hear is dead air LOL
