Gauging interest Canada summer 2010 meet.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Figure I would put out the idea now while theres time to plan and see who all would be interested I figure have it in Manitobia cause it's pretty center, as I think it would be pointless to have it on one side of the country and make everyone drive really long distances. Also if anyone in the northern states would be interested in coming that would be cool too.

I'de be all for it if it was in ontario or quebec lol, but manitoba is like 30 kagillion miles away, tho i suppose if its soon after ASS i could just turn north lol

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I'm not going to ASS too far to drive from here, if the idea doesn't go through I'll just go to the big Cobalt meet there having in Saskatchewan.

[Ttop191]

well, tbh i'm up for a meet damn near anywhere lol, this summer im taking a road trip to wherever the fuck i wanna go haha

ASS is just the starting point :D

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

you should drive out for it would be a nice drive you could go through the states on the way there and through Canada on the way back.

[Ttop191]

lol, there won't be a going back most likely ;)

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I moved this convo to pm's I wanna try to keep this on topic...

[a4d2a0m]

very interesting!... that is prob my limit tho.. i wouldn't want to go any farther. where are you coming from??

[JLw7123]

I might be interested I have been to Manitobia it is really beautiful at lake winnipeg.

[Ttop191]

zack you do realize its 30+ hours for us right?????

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

very interesting!... that is prob my limit tho.. i wouldn't want to go any farther. where are you coming from??

I'm coming from Red Deer, Alberta.

[JLw7123]

zack you do realize its 30+ hours for us right?????
ya it is a VERY LONG way.

[That01Olds]

Don't you need a passport now to drive in to Canada?

[Ttop191]

yupperz

[JLw7123]

i already have one when I went to ireland and england. that is why I want to drive through canada when we are driving to ASS it will shave like 2 hours off the time.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

It's a 38 hour drive to ASS for me so I figure I would suggest this instead.

[Nate's Alero]

you forget customs, 10 modded alero's, they're gonna search us

[[ion] C2]

customs is allowed to totally strip down your car and leave it that way

i'll never cross the border with my car

[Ttop191]

it doesn't really happen too often, I live 15 mins from the border, and i go up to Canada just about every other weekend, they wont strip your car unless they have a really good reason, not like they just do it for fun.

and on topic... what part of the province?

[colonel6632]

manitoba is about a hour and a half drive from me, so of course i'm in!

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Don't know yet we only have 3 Canadians in for it I'm thinking between Winnipeg and Brandon.

manitoba is about a hour and a half drive from me, so of course i'm in!

Sweet we just really gotta round up more Canadians.


Also I'm thinking it should be a campout. so if anyone has a suggestion as where to camp in Manitoba please by all means suggest it as I have never been to manitoba.

[Kilroy]

I'm coming from Red Deer, Alberta.

I'd be coming from.....





MANITOBA!!!!!:yahoo:

Brandon to be exact. For obvious reasons, I would be up for it.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Thats sweet so you can suggest a good place to stay for out of towners like my self.

[Ttop191]

lol brandon was actually where AB and i were discussing holding it :lol:

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I'm thinking closer to Lake Manitoba myself cause I want to go camping.

[colonel6632]

Souris MB is actually a cool little place

heres a link
http://www.sourismanitoba.com/index.html
then go to the visitor stuff, then attractions. then brandon is pretty close. and this maybe only matter to me, but brandon has a bar and some peelers. and taco bell, and stuff. maybe make a alero convo there, lol.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Colonel that looks like a really nice town, I'll probably just grab a spot at the campground $16/night is a good price. They look to have a pretty nice golf course there too so I can see the possibility of me bringing clubs along.

[That01Olds]

Well, I wouldn't be able to go for two reasons. One I don't currently have a passport. I need to get one soon. And two Winnipeg I believe is about a 36 hour drive from where I live.

[colonel6632]

yup, i drove through there once. it was nice. i'm not sure what there is all to do. theres no lake but there is a pool. and if we got a couple tent sites all together we could have some fires and such

[Redog]

It's a 38 hour drive to ASS for me so I figure I would suggest this instead.

Two guys drove from LA to ASS last year. 46 hour total drive time ;)

[JLw7123]

I would go to the meet in manitoba if it I lived closer.

[colonel6632]

Two guys drove from LA to ASS last year. 46 hour total drive time ;)

i can't get the time off

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Thats 2 of them they were able to support each other if they had break downs and such, me I'd be all alone with no one to help me out of a sticky situation.

[Redog]

This sounds pretty cool.

When are you going to have it?

IDK it's only 1,761 miles for me and 28 hours

[colonel6632]

ya, we should really figure something out, so people can book time off, and start saving some cash

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Pick a weekend in May, June, or July. I don't really want a long weekend one cause it makes booking accomidations a PITA.

[colonel6632]

well, we need a list of people. i'll start it. if you want to go, add your name to the list

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

how's the weekend of July 9,10, & 11? if it doesn't work we can always change it this far in advance to make it work.

[DUSTIN0285]

Book a block of rooms at the Keystone..... they got real dirty strippers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Raziel]

Im all for it, I need a vacation out of this god forsaken city of mine.

[colonel6632]

cool. we can all meet up in regina and go from there lol

[MotorCity]

C2;520269']customs is allowed to totally strip down your car and leave it that way

same here :lol: :haha:

[JLw7123]

ya it is a hassle I have drove to canada a couple of times and never had my car searched even my black car.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I like the idea of meeting up in Regina, I like the idea of strippers too, but lets make sure no ones showing up with kids first and if they are we'll plan so we can go to that sorta stuff during the night lol.

[colonel6632]

lol. yup. we can plan all sorts of stuff. lets keep getting interest people

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

I hope people would add to the list you started colonel.

[colonel6632]

lol, me too

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

We should all chip in and rent a boat... or go golfing and T-up the govenor in the Carts and race around the course.

Edit: So after some review I've learned that it is furthure for Ontario members to drive than it is for me and I'm coming from Red Deer, AB so is there a possibilty that we should change the location to somewhere in SK, is there much to do there? Corner Gas has led me to believe that it's pretty dull for visitors. lol

[That01Olds]

One of my friends said he went up to Calgary, Alberta last year and drove through Saskatchewan on the way there. He said it was the most boring place he had ever been to and it seem liked there was nothing for miles and miles.

[colonel6632]

lol. it's not quite that bad. plus manitoba isn't Saskatchewan. it has more scenery.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Bump.

[That01Olds]

lol. it's not quite that bad. plus manitoba isn't Saskatchewan. it has more scenery.

Yea, I have heard Manitoba is pretty nice and Idk if its that bad or not because I myself have never been to Saskatchewan I was just going based off of what a visitor had told me lol. I keep hearing Vancouver is nice though so I might have to check that out one of these days. Anyway back to the matter at hand I don't want to get to off-topic here.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Vancouver is nice though so I might have to check that out one of these days. Anyway back to the matter at hand I don't want to get to off-topic here. the city it self isn't that great Vancouver Island is nice and huge chunk of British Columbia is beautiful if it's not on fire...

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

Bumpity-Bump.... I guess this plan is going out the window.

[Rexter9x]

Ive always wanted to see Manitoba lol

I like Golf!!!

:huh: umm.... dude, Saskatchewan is farther from ontario than manitoba is....

[bobusboy]

i like this idea of meeting in regina, as i live there ^_^.

I drive a GA, but would like to see everone's rides if they came up. (I'd drive south too but harder to get time off cause i have to pay for school in the fall)

*edit* There isnt much in southern sask it's flat and yellow(from the canola fields) it brings new meaning for cruise control.

If you drive 7 hours north of regina you get to lac la ronge, which has an awsome camping ground on a lake, I'd have to go look up the site though.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

:huh: umm.... dude, Saskatchewan is farther from ontario than manitoba is....

I realise this, I didn't know how many of you ontario folk would show up since it's a shorter drive for me to manitoba, and I'm in AB.

[a4d2a0m]

oh... and here I thought you were going to split the difference to increase the possibility of having a higher Ont./Que. turn out :p ... sorry man.

[AbHeLlRaZoR]

oh... and here I thought you were going to split the difference to increase the possibility of having a higher Ont./Que. turn out :p ... sorry man.

I was I just didn't get much interest from you Ontario/Quebec Folk so I was starting to think if no one was coming from the east we'd move it west.
