This is our first drive of the year. A short sight
seeing tour. Let's meet up at noon on Sunday May 3 at A&W for brunch and then head off to Abbotsford, cross the Mission Bridge, and head up to Stave Falls. Cross the river and then had to Ruskin Dam. Cross over the dam back to Dewdney Trunk Road and then head to Westminster Abbey. After that, we have a choice to head back via the Mission Bridge via Abbotsford or any of the other crossings. I was thinking of heading back via Coquitlam but that might extend my intended time for this drive. I need to be home to make dinner. -------------  Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

3. Jim I was thinking A&W in Langley in front of the Rickys where are meetings normally take place. But if everybody else coming is in agreement, we can meet at a more central location. I chose A&W because there seems to be many to choose from that are in a location we can all meet up at. At 11:30, I will be at Willingdon and Moscrop in Burnaby. So I have time to get pretty well anywhere to meet up. (1/2 hr to get there). ------------- Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

Here is a possible alternate route from A&W to Westminster Abbey. As
you can see, it crosses over the Golden Ears bridge to the Alouette Lake dam and then to the Stave Lake Falls dam.  ------------- Henry Doerksen |

I was thinking maybe paying a toll 1 way would be okay. Returning via
Abbotsford.  ------------- Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

On Wednesday I took a drive to see if my route was even possible. I
planned this route based on Google maps, but Google maps lied there is no through road to Alouette Lake as shown in my map. So the route suggested by Ken is the best one except for one problem. The traffic between the Golden ears Bridge and Maple Ridge is a nightmare. May I suggest a pit stop at the Cedar Ridge golf course? It is located at the junction of Keystone and Dewdney Trunk road just north of Mission. For those of us who have a little bit more time may I suggest I route from Mission to Fort Langley and Derby Reach as shown in the map.  ------------- Henry Doerksen |

Hi Ken, the route looks good but what time of day are you
going on Saturday? I work at least until 1:30 and have to get ready for a 4am shift to do the rest of the inventory on Sunday???

Jim, I thought you said you got off at noon.
We'll have to go without you. I need to be back home around 4:30 so we need to leave not long after noon. We'll have another drive later in the summer....hopefully you'll have your Fiero running by then. Henry, thanks for the suggestions, but I think we'll stick to the original route. I wanted to see Ruskin Dam and Stave Falls also. So we're down to 3 1) Ken 2) Henry 3) Johnny ------------- Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |

Hey guys I thought we were going on Sunday May 3. I won't be able to join
you if we're going Saturday. Ken I agree your route is the best one. See my previous post: "On Wednesday I took a drive to see if my route was even possible. I planned this route based on Google maps, but Google maps lied there is no through road to Alouette Lake as shown in my map. So the route suggested by Ken is the best one except for one problem.

Hi Ken, that was noon on Sunday since I start at 4am on
that day. Are we still going for a drive???? and what time etc. |

We're meeting at noon at the A&W at 88th and 204th....where our meetings are usually held. I might be a few minutes late give or take. I will also need lunch at A&W before we go so we will likely leave a bit later...maybe 12:30 or so. We did two drives this weekend. My Saturday freed up and Shawn was originally wanting a drive but couldn't make it on Sunday. The Sunday drive is still on. ------------- Beken (aka Ken) - bekentech@westcoastfieros.com Original and still the owner of an 85SE 2M6 4spd |
