Hmmmm. I wonder if I qualify for that discount?So strange you posted that as I just looked it up and was going to post as well. I may add for guys like my self, there is a senior rate of $8.60
Regular price for adults and children 12 and over is $17.20 Old guys (rule) $8.60 and gals.I'm sorry Dennis. My ignorance for not recognizing the Seniors in our group. And you mean an $8.60 discount,not an additional rate do you not?
Great picture. That would be Bonnie guarding the car so no one gets too close. We just came back from two ferry trips in the interior of B.C from Nelson down to Galena Bay.View attachment 9922
Here's Debbie and our vette the last time we went to the island. Our vette likes ferry rides!
Very cool Brent. Debbie looks pretty happy to be on a boat!! You see how tight they pack em in there. Hopefully,if we had 10/15/20 Corvettes,we'd be in with the semis,or in our own cluster. And like previously mentioned. I'd be more comfortable with some of us keeping an eye on our cars. Taking turns as not fair to miss the scenery. Sadly guys,crime takes place on the ferries too.View attachment 9922

Tofino is beautiful Brian, you would love it. And hey, put some miles on that beautiful ZR1 - life is meant to be enjoyed!I am going to hire Mike as my travel assistant.
I have only been to the southern part on the Island ( Nanaimo south ) and I wonder what I am missing up north.
It could be an idea for me to do but maybe not in the ZR1...unless I win the lottery and say F'it on mileage and drive the car all over.
Tofino has been an area i have wanted to visit.
Maybe one day.

Most are respectful of nice cars, but it would just take one idot to ruin that moment. I'm sure there would be many volunteers to watch the cars! It would be a fun trip and enough of us have done it before and can add something to the trip.Very cool Brent. Debbie looks pretty happy to be on a boat!! You see how tight they pack em in there.

My thoughts exactly Brent !! If not Brian,let me !! Lol.Tofino is beautiful Brian, you would love it. And hey, put some miles on that beautiful ZR1 - life is meant to be enjoyed!
I guess I've been lucky so far and probably more trusting than I should be. Yes, it would only take one idiot and with a large group of Corvettes, a "look out" would probably be a smart idea.Most are respectful of nice cars, but it would just take one idot to ruin that moment. I'm sure there would be many volunteers to watch the cars! It would be a fun trip and enough of us have done it before and can add something to the trip.
The road to Tofino is a beautiful drive with stops in many places along the way. It should be an overnight stop as the ocean scenery and fresh air should be inhaled for more than just a few moments.My thoughts exactly Brent !! If not Brian,let me !! Lol.
Absolutely Dennis! I would hate to rush that part of the trip. The sights, the smells - fantastic!The road to Tofino is a beautiful drive with stops in many places along the way. It should be an overnight stop as the ocean scenery and fresh air should be inhaled for more than just a few moments.

I think it'll be a better location Brian.
Here's a vid from 10 years ago boarding the " Spirit of British Columbia " back in August 2007. I was driving a brand new 2007 Subaru Impreza Sport wagon. You guys all know how small these cars are. They pack em in there boys !! You that have recently been on the boats can attest. This is the upper car deck. Semis underneath.
That sounds great to me!All these ideas are great. Little time to do all in one year.
I'm like the Drumheller cruise originally kinda planned.
What if we were to meet and leave in Red Deer Saturday September 16th at around 9am. Then travel to Drumheller. Go on the ferry boat across the river.( or after lunch) Then have lunch at Last Chance saloon. ( maybe we can notify the saloon for a reserved parking for all cars. Also a great picture option) Then cruise around the Drumheller area. Stop at different points of interest locations. Stay the night in Drumheller.
Sunday have breakfast and leave around 9 or 10am. Travel to Rowley ( ghost town ). Then off to Big Valley. Then home from there.
Heather and I are open to other options as well.
So I'm just throwing it out there.
