Here's a map for the Manning Park run. The route is 417 Km which is about 5 hours of steady driving. Start-stop is the McDonalds on Willington in Burnaby. Comments? The Dawg ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

I've done this route a number of times. The Hope-Princeton highway used to be a lot more twisty and narrow than now but still a great drive. -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

That looks like a great run. Any idea what date you want to do the run on. ------------- Capt Fiero 88 Fiero GT 5spd V6 Eight Fifty Seven GT V8 5spd. |

Manning can be chilly even in the middle of summer. So this should be an August run I think. These are relatively high altitude mountain passes. Nice day run in beautiful country. The Dawg ------------- You dream it up....I'll make it |

As long as it's not an overnight run. I've camped at Manning Park before and once (and only once) it snowed on my tent overnight....in late August. ------------- Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |
