Who's going to Canby this year from BC??

Post by JordanTr »

Canby 2014 is June 14/15 this year. Pops and I are heading down in my car for the weekend.

Anyone else planning to make the trip?

I have been mulling it over, would be a last minute decision based on the weather. And that could be a problem as there might not be any room at "Inn".

I'm trying to wrap my brain around that horrible drive down I-5 to get there, with whatever stupid traffic issues that likely will crop up. Best time to go would be in the late evening, after all rush hours are over and temps are cooler anyhow.

Keith, two years ago when I went last, I was able to book the same motel we all usually stay at 3 days before the event, there was room. But there are many hotels not too far away as well.

I'm leaving it to the last minute as well, as I'll be traveling in Alberta for work the week before - Global Petroleum Show in Calgary. I won't get back until Friday night. So if I went, I'd likely take one of my kids, and drive down Saturday at some point. Then leave mid afternoon Sunday to return home. The traffic is so steady down that corridor now, unless you traveled during the night, the difference would be negligible.

I'd like to go, but because of work travel, I'll need to see when we get closer. A couple weeks later I'm headed to Pikes Peak, so I'm saving my energy for that road trip.

I hear yah,

Or...as one of our summer drives.....we plan on the drive back to Winthrop, visit the museum, then, head over to the Okanagan and if Matt's offer still stands, we stay at his place over night in Oliver, then book it back to Vancouver via the Hope Princeton EARLY in the morning.

There is an amazing model train setup in Oliver....

at least we have a wealth of corners on this drive, as opposed to the I-5

I for sure am going to pass. I have a big trip planned into the mountains the week following ( non-510 related)

We need to start planing a June or early July trip back to Winthrop and through the museum.

Highway is now open, after some 35 feet of snow being cleared in some spots.

I think I am going to man up and give this a shot. Maybe 75/25 in favour of going at this point.

I have the option of going through central Washington in a relatively diagonal NE to SW direction from Edmonchuck or out to the GVA and then south. I guess I'll late the latter if anyone from that area is interested in the company.

I'll likely go down the coast to south of the Columbia River then east to Canby. Did this last year and way nicer than the interstate.

I went to the Canby Datsun/Nissan meet today and really enjoyed it. I took some pics of the event.
