the days Inn is full just smoking rooms left and the nice lady chantel said to use the lakeview or BCMI both OK she says, and not sure why super 8 has not lowered their rates yet, perhaps rig crews as they are almost full,

Looks like I might have to work Sat Sept 7th so I am probably out... I will through remind the other 2 guys and see if they want to go with you folks.

Looks like I will be working every Sat in Sept after the long weekend. :(

Boooooo to work!...Looking to shape up for a great cruise! Great job on organizing this!!!! Need to get the car fixed to participate and get projects done!!! Dang it. Summer is too short with too much to do. I hope you guys have an absolute blast!!!!
 
That would be awesome. This summer has pretty much been a crap shoot for anything but I would LOVE to make it some time!!! I think that would be a great trip and easy to do!
 
I am under the impression that the Banff to Jasper hiway is one of the TOP 10 MOST BEAUTIFUL drives in North America, cannot remember where I read that a few years ago, everyone who has a chance to experience this should,


and


what better way than in a corvette caravan,

we need a group name or motto,

Rob

I have had people waiting to get in for hail damage estimates since it hailed on July 2nd.


I said I would start doing them in Sept..... and have lots of people on waiting lists for work on Saturdays... sucks.


I will still try get you 1 or 2 more guys..... to join you.



Not working this weekend though....... going jet skiing 1 or 2 days! :)

Well we are close to Drive Day. Weather is calling for showers on Saturday through Saskatchewan crossing. I'm still a go, car loves a bit of a bath and keeps the bugs off!! Everyone please confirm! ScaryFast has said he is still a go and I want to see and hear his Lingenfelter! Have a great Thursday everyone.
 
we are still a go, we intend to spend friday in hinton and saturday day in Jasper if the run is not going ahead, just let us know on the thread so we can look at our options, thanks

Jeffer2013


note one of the other participants was going to spend the night in Jasper and not Hinton if the run was not going ahead aso we need to know please,

Drive still a go. Vince, we can do it again in a couple of weeks! Name the date and place. Let's getter done!
 
While part of the province had rainy weather Jasper and area was actually beautiful this past Saturday. ScaryFast, Jeffer2013 and I all got to Hinton on Friday. Roads were wet on the way in but nothing a quick car wash couldn't handle. We met up for breakfast and then headed out towards Jasper.

We stopped at the JAsper Park Lodge. Concierge was happy to let us park up by the door while we wanderd around.


Into Jasper for lunch @ Earl's where we all visited and got to know eachother. Jeff and Robin from our previous cruise, Ken and Linda from Ft. McMurray and Brent, my sidekick. Jo had other commitments so Brent had to fill in navigator duties. Funny, when I asked him all he could do was giggle like a schoolgirl!

We stopped on the Icefields Parkway for a break and pic. Jeff used the airbrake method to stop! Car on left is Ken and Linda's 2008 Indy Pace car with a "little" surprise under the hood. The hint is on the windshield.


Clouded in by the time we hit the Icefields. From here we stopped at Saskatchewan Crossing fro a break. Ken and Linda headed to Calgary and Jeff, Robin Brent and I headed home east towards Rocky Mountain House.


Jeef, Robin, Ken, Linda and Brent thank you all for coming out. As usual it was a good time.
