I am starting route planning, and have not heard back from anyone as to your preferences for intensity. We have two clear choices; stay close to Canmore and meander around at a leisurely pace, or plan for longer driving days and overnight stays in order to get to the prime roads. Silence will be taken as consent. If I do not hear otherwise, I will default to the longer drives option with the overnight stays in the BC interior. I am into long drives on deserted winding mountain roads through spectacular scenery, so if you want to take it easy instead, then you better speak up and make your preference known!

I have confirmed the availability of my mechanic to come along to drive the truck and trailer. The trailer can be used for extra luggage, spare tires, etc in addition to bringing broken cars home. I will supply the truck and trailer. To keep the costs down, I will also supply the mechanic's accommodations and transportation to and from Canmore. He will be taking time off work to do this, so I suggested we would be willing to pay him an honourarium of some kind, as well as his meals and other disbursements. If we get enough people confirmed for this, the cost will be nominal.

There have been few firm confirmations, so be advised that I am now going to start hunting you guys. You will be receiving e-mails and phone calls, so talk to She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed so that you can say for sure if you are in or out. The guys from out East are really going out of their way to load up a semitrailer full of their Panteras and dragging them 3,000km to get to this event, so the least we can do is let them know there will be some of us here to welcome them.
