[JAGNUTS] John Macartney Arrives NEXT WEDNESDAY

[Tony Koschinsky]

That is the route we took with the JONAT a couple of years ago and it was 
all paved then.  Be sure to schedule a couple of photo ops at Round and 
Crooked lakes, with maybe a stop for coffee at the Valley Bakery in Fort 
Quappelle.

Just to clarify Bob's message, our cottage in this instance is at Emerald 
Park which is on the number 1 highway just east of Regina.  I will try to 
get away to join the caravan somewhere east of Regina if I can and show you 
the way in, if you can estimate where you will be and when.

Tony

>> Hi all
>>
>>
>>
>> Thanks, Bob for the legwork on getting things set up, and to Tony for
>> hosting the barbeque.
>>
>>
>>
>> The plan for meeting John Macartney is to be at the Saskatchewan
> Tourism
>> information booth on the Saskatchewan/Manitoba border at 1:00 PM on
>> Wednesday, September 2nd. John will be accompanied by members of the
>> Triumph Drivers Club of Manitoba and the Manitoba Austin Healey Club.
> We
>> will do a photo shoot at the Border sign with the cars and drivers in
>> the cavalcade and then drive into Moosomin for lunch (18 km from the
>> border).
>>
>> Proceeding west, we will head north off the Trans Canada at Whitewood
>> and roughly follow the Qu'Appelle valley:
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> I'm still awaiting final confirmation from the Winnipeg organizer that
>> the rendezvous time matches their plan, but let's assume it's OK
> unless
>> I send out a change notice.
>>
>>
>>
>> The more the merrier for the cavalcade travelling along with John, so
>> please come out and meet us. If anyone wants to do the trip all the
> way
>> from Winnipeg, they are more than happy to have you, plus you are
>> invited to their barbeque on the Tuesday, Sept 1st (see attached
>> invitation and Manitoba schedule). Ed and I will be driving down to
>> Rocanville (just north of Moosomin) on Sept 1st as we have a bit
> farther
>> to travel, so will meet anyone travelling from Regina at the border.
>>
>>
>>
>> The trip west to Calgary is still a bit more up in the air. I received
> a
>> copy of an e-mail that they sent to John last night with a couple of
>> route suggestions, but nothing final.  They have not yet confirmed if
>> they have anyone coming east to meet John. It appears from that e-mail
>> that John would like to depart from Regina on the afternoon of the 3rd
>> to be able to break the long drive to Calgary into two days (he has to
>> be in Calgary on the 5th to meet his wife, who is flying in from
>> England). This likely means that he will only be in the Regina area
> for
>> the evening of the 2nd and morning/early afternoon of the 3rd. I have
>> sent an e-mail to John requesting that he confirm his travel times and
>> dates between Winnipeg and Calgary. Assuming he departs on the 3rd, he
>> will likely stop in either Maple Creek (my suggestion) or Medicine Hat
>> (Alberta's suggestion). If he stops in Maple Creek, anyone that wants
> to
>> drive out and back can caravan all or part way there; Ed and I will
>> overnight and caravan John as far as the Alberta border before heading
>> back to S'toon. If he wants to go to Medicine Hat we will likely just
>> take him as far as Maple Creek where we'll do a farewell coffee stop.
> I
>> will let you know as soon as I get details- hopefully this evening.
