Happy New Year from the "right side of Canada - well actually with North up
as every map is set up by, we are on the left side of the Country. Well it
really doesn't matter
what side you are on, or if you are from down-under or south of the 49th.
I have set up this google group site for those interested in joining in all
or part of the Rolling rally.
We start off with a Cascaders Rally in White Rock, BC the 2nd of August
2012. Dry camp - Bar-B-Q's, Live Music, dancing, excursions, parade, fine
wine and the finest of
meals. Park like setting. So much to see and do. Will have lots of info
posted several months ahead.
We would like to hear from those across the country so we can meet, have
you help host us in your area, or point us in the direction of places that
are a must see. You can join in
for a segment or do the whole trip. If you know of GMC rally's along our
route we would love to take in some.
Figure on all of August and a good part of September.
Following that each would be on their own to get home or could continue
with us down the eastern seaboard to Florida then across the southern
States. So for those in those areas
we'd love to meet you.

I will be posting a route map in the near future.

Best regards

Will get back to you

I received an invitation from Dwayne with a "Click Here" to join. Here's
the URL for the site. I presume that if one is not already a member there
will appear a "Join" option. Otherwise, you'll probably have to get an
invitation initiated by Dwayne:

https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#!forum/across-canada

There are a couple of very annoying features of Google Groups: The owner
can never see what others see (without entering with a pseudonym & cleared
cookies), nor can existing members see what non-members see. I guess it's
all designed to keep spammers out, but they're probably onto the tricks and
can get in easily -- though we haven't had that problem with any of my
groups.

A couple of things you might be interested in.

If you are coming through on the number one The International Peace Gardens are about 100km south of Brandon. They have camping facilities and August would be a prime time for the flowers etc. It is right on the Manitoba North Dakota border and is always a beautiful place to visit.

If coming on the Yellowhead - Riding Mountain National Park is about 60km North of Minnedosa (junction of 16 and 10)(One hundred km north of Brandon if on Number 1).

There are campgrounds in and around Brandon if interested.

Number 10 highway runs North and South of Brandon and passes through the Peace Gardens (south)and Riding Mountain (north).

I will provide any additional information on any of the above if requested.

Thank you Bob;
this is the kind of info I am looking for. We really would love to meet
other GMC'rs along the way and have as many as possible
spend some time with us - even taking part in part of the journey.

Regards
Dwayne

Dwayne,
I used the link in Ken H.'s post and was able to register and post a message on the site. Looking forward to the trip planning progress and hope to join for at least part of the journey.

Hi Dave
Right now I am looking at sometime around August 24th plus or minus a few
days.
I can put you on my list to contact with info as time marches on.
Haven't had contact with anyone in the Toronto Area to date.

I have started a googlegroup.

Regards

Dwayne
