This run is going to be planned by Ken. It will happen on Sunday March 27th. Basically a ride to Garry Point in Steveston for some great fish and chips a Pajo's.
This is a beautiful park right on the beach. It's a fantastic kite flying destination with steady wind most of the time. Lots of parking and more or less out of the way. Bring some lawn chairs to relax for the afternoon before the ride back into town. Should be a great time. The Dawg |

Let's hope it warms up a lot from today's weather.

Let's hope it snows again. Gretchin just loves the snow (Sarcasm).

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

If it snows, it is unlikely Pajos will be open. Pajo's only opens on sunny days,
especially in the winter, early spring when it is normally rather cool. So Gretchin will be out of luck. |

Oh. Well, it is my sincere hope that the snow will have given up and gone home by late March.

Yeah, especially if we're all sitting in lawn chairs braving a steady wind off the water in Steveston.

I'm working on a drive route that might be interesting. This year, I was thinking of going a similar route as last time but having a drive-through of the new Port Royal subdivision.
However, I have this fascination with tunnels and just got one of my pictures of the Massey Tunnel published in a text book. So I'm wondering if there is interest in seeing the Cow Tunnel at 72nd Ave in Delta and maybe do a Fiero photo-shoot on Rice Mill Road in front of the Massey Tunnel and the BC Ferries service yard. Then head to Steveston via the south arm shoreline along Dyke Road. We can meet in front of Krispy Kreme at Scottsdale Mall (lots of parking) to start. The drive should take about an hour and a half to get there. We might be able to organize a photo shoot of our Fieros coming out through the cow tunnel too. Comments? We will discuss this at the meeting too. |

As I stated on the mailing list... How could anything involving a "cow tunnel" not be worthwhile checking out, especially for us city boys? Sounds great/fascinating (and even somewhat scary) to me, Ken!

The cow tunnel crosses under highway 91. It's actually used more by cars than cows nowadays. Trucks will not fit through it so bring your Fiero.

Unfortunately, I will have to plan a different route. The cow tunnel has been
closed permanently as they construct a new overpass. Something about the South Perimeter road. 1.jpg"> |

Aw, that sucks. I probably am not quite the fan you are, but tunnels have a certain atmosphere about them that's always cool to drive in. That, and the exhaust notes echoing is awesome. Anyhoo, count me in for the run. |

Anybody interested in visiting a winery? I just noticed I'm running out of wine so might be interested in stopping at my friend's winery. Not really much to see, but if you're interested in a tour of the place, I can get that arranged.

If it is dry, we leave Krispy Kreme at 11:03am on Sunday March 27.
We will go west on 72nd Ave to Highway 91 and turn north, over the Alex Fraser bridge to Annacis Island. Get a group shot at the new Port Royal subdivision, then head on to River Road and drive along the Fraser River north arm to #6 road in Richmond. Then to Silver City at #6 and Steveston Hwy. Go west along Steveston to #5 road, turn left and head south to Rice Mill Road. Turn left and pull stop for a group shot in front of the Massey Tunnel. Turn around, pull into the BC Ferries service yard for a group shot. Then head back to #5 road and turn south (left) to Dyke Road. We will drive along the dyke as far as we can and then head for Moncton and parade our Fieros through Steveston to Pajos. Anybody not willing to make their way to Krispy Kreme can meet join us anywhere along the route. I have sent a flawed route map (Google Map kept adding addition excursions on me) to the mailing list. Hope to see lots of Fieros come out. |
