Ok... This is a big one for me.
I'd love to plan an awesome road trip for us from
Vancouver to Kelowna to Osoyoos
or
Vancouver to Osoyoos to Kelowna

No date planned yet.
Summer obviously.
Feel free to help with the planning. PLEASE HELP!!!
Alot of you asked me to put this together so lets see how this works out.
Please don't put your name forward if you can't commit.

Tentative plan. Specific dates to be determined.

Friday morning or friday night departure?
I only ask as some ppl my have a hard time taking a day off work.

We might want to break up into a morning and evening departure
And also break into mini groups when we reach the major destinations as not everyone will want to do the same thing in which case, we'll need a few mini group leads

Thursday
Gas up and be packed
Walkie Talkies???
Charge GoPro

Friday morning (Time??? between 6-10???)
Tim Hortons Marine & Byrne
Grab breakfast and coffee
Wait for all the lazies to get of bed (I'll try not to be one of them!!!)

Does sound killer. Drift through the canyon at 130? I won't commit, but I am interested. I do like getting drunk in places other than here.

As for planning, just pic a weekend and departure time. I am sure people have their own interests and once people are up there they will spread out to the wineries, pubs and beaches. Having a dinner together the first night there would be good, figure out when everybody should be up there (including stranglers) and have a rez someplace for 2 hours after that. After that though, I can just see people going off and doing their own thing and maybe coming together in small groups to get drunk or sight see.


I will keep watch on this thread.
