The Rover-Landers of BC

For those who haven't made it to one of our Whipsaw cleanups this year, there is one booked for the August 4-5 weekend. Please post your intention of going on this run here as there is a chance that the date may be changed if there is no interest.

thanks, Dave

Damm......unfortunately I'm on call this weekend, so I have to stay in town.

Darn going to miss yet another run, don’t return till August 6th. Have a great time.

Pamela and I won't be able to make it as we are preparing for our trip to Colorado.

Dave

Is anyone intrested in moving this run to the 11-12 of August ? We would be running from the south to the north this time and it's the last run we will have to clean up the trail before the BFG thing.

I'm in for the 11/12. This weekend is looking a little doubtful.

John

Well John lets consider this event moved to Aug- 11-12 that way Paul and Glen will have to come as well as we could sure use their help.

I heard interst from Don and Alastair in this Whipsaw run as well. Shawn, could you let them know about the date change?

thanks, Dave

Dammit :shock: I forgot my stupid friends are getting married that weekend. I really need to change my priorites... I just want to get away more than one a year. This is like the 4th wedding this summer. People should plan around my landrover addiction. :D

Thanks for the consideration, however I have a river rafting trip booked for the 11th. I only have 1 weekend off in august 18/19, but I’m sure something will come up for that weekend too. :roll:

Shawn. I and most of our family are going to THE ROYAL BC MUSEUM, to the TITANIC exibit. AS MY GRANDMOTHER AND AN AUNT were survivors, of the sinking. so will miss that weekend. all the best. RICK.M

Hi Shawn,

Count me in for the Aug 11 / 12, someone has to pull your through that ditch again!! :D

Andy

I could make the 18th/19th...have yet to get out and meet everyone :(

We now have 3 trucks confirmed to go and 5 confirmed to stay, anyone else ? For those that can't make it we will be going again in sept. and oct. If you haven't done this run now is a great time to go with 3 very experienced drivers including a living legend to show you the way. This is a pristine high country trail with moderate challenges throughout and a very enjoyable run you won't soon forget.

I am planning to be there, with some new shoes!!

Later,
Don

I will be at Otter lake camp ground for a week starting that weekend so feel free to stop in for a cold beer on your way out.
Andrew

Good on ya mate hope to have a cool Fosters nakedbarra.
To begin the run we will meet at the Whipsaw turn off on highway 3 13k before Princeton at 10:00 am sat . morning The run is around 90k so you should have plenty of fuel left if you fuel up in Hope. I am free friday afternoon so I could be talked into going up then , otherwise I'll probably leave sat. morning. Andy don't forget your tow rope.

Wooops!! I meant new wheels not new shoes!!

If all goes well this week I'll be bringing my new truck, and the Family.

Later,
Don

Hi Shawn,

Do you want to leave Friday pm and camp by the river (same spot as the last Whipsaw trip where Kris winched himself backwards.)

cheers,
Andy

Andy that would work for me. What time and where would you like to meet?

Don I need new shoes for my truck.

Hi Shawn,

How about Whatcom road at 4pm? Let me know if that works for you.

Is everyone else leaving Saturday morning?

Don, do you have a set of high-heeled wheels? I like the stiletto 5 spokes myself!! :wink:

Andy

Have a great trip gents…loosely related… has anyone had a look at the new BFG MT’s…they look pretty cooooool, probably work well too. 8)

Andy I will see you at T.H. for a coffee at Whatcom.at 4:00pm
Paul as long as I can put them on my spinners I'll be happy.

So?
How did you guys make out ?
were you able to do the whole Whipsaw with out "Wes all might" being there to pull you thru .

:lol:

Sorry to tell you Kris and every one but the trip ended Sat morning before ever hitting the trail. Charlie was very sick and died on the way to the vet there was nothing that could have been done to save him. It looks like he had a tumor that ruptured and he went into shock and died.

Hi Shawn,

Sorry to hear about poor old Charlie, I was lucky enough to play around with him on Friday night & say farewell on Saturday morning.

He was a great RoverLanders companion and will be sadly missed by all that knew him.

All the best,

Andy, Bailey & London

Truly sorry to hear that Shawn.

Hi Shawn,

Man very sorry to read bout Charlie…he sure had some adventures under his belt.

Paul.

I know what you're going through, Shawn. There's no replacement for a great dog that's been a good pal to all of us at nearly every Rover-Landers event. We're going through the same feelings with Willow, and although there's a fun little pup in our life now, it still doesn't replace the loyal friend that's missing.

Dave

Hi Shawn
Really sorry to hear about Charlie.He'll be missed by all of us! At least we know that he had a great family and a good life
Dave T

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I appreciate your support and the patience and kindness every one of you gave to Charlie

Sorry to hear about Charlie. He was a nice old dog when I met you guys last year.

Sorry to hear it as well. Will always remember him at lodestone lake. Charlie and his frisbee. And WILLOW HERDING ME THERE SOME TIME AGO. Hope at the AGM IN JAN,2008, people will remember 2007 AS A "DOG GONE YEAR" all the best rick.m

Hi Shawn,
A real shock to hear about poor old Charlie. A stalwart Roverlander if there ever was one. A real character with a goofball demeanor and a warm disposition, I'll really miss him. :cry:

Wait till you see the new puppy wow it is so sweet. enjoyed seeing sunday at ANDREWS. rcm..
