Hello everyone. I guess it is about time that I set forth what I feel =
would be an interesting route thru the Okanagan Valley to Golden B.C. I =
looks like I will pick up the group from Greg at the ABFM in Vancouver.=20
Day 1: The drive out to Hope is fast or slow (if you drive slow which I =
find hard to believe of any Jaguar owner). The route then will split and =
you can chose either the southern route along Highway 3 and 3A to =
Penticton, a nice drive but you will miss the rugged beauty of the =
Fraser Canyon (Hwy 1). The southern route is basically flat as it =
follows a river valley. If you chose to travel up Highway 1 we will pass =
thru some spectacular vistas of canyon walls plunging down into the =
Fraser River, the road is part of the Trans-Canada highway so there is =
no problem with rough surfaces. At Spences Bridge we will head East on =
Hwy 8 , another scenic drive up to Meritt. We will then go south on Hwy =
5A to Princeton a bit of a windy road where you can "let it out" and =
have some fun, then onto Hwy 3 then 3A to Penticton. There are several =
Hotels available along the beach (Names and rates to follow). You can =
select either route and it will get you to the same destination. The =
long route will be about 2 hours longer.
Day 2: A liesurely drive from Penticton to Vernon with stops at a couple =
of "Cottage Wineries" to do some sampling and pick up you favourite =
variety. We will pass alongside of several large lakes on the way to =
Kelowna and north to Vernon. There are several secondary roads that you =
can chose if you want to get off the main Hwy.Vernon also has several =
fine hotels with varying prices.
Day 3: We leave Vernon and procede along Hwy 97 to Sicamous =
(pronounced..sick-a-moose) don't ask why. Again we will be travelling =
beside some beautiful lakes. At Sick-a-moose we join other travellers =
(probably not in Jaguars) on Hwy #1. We will then procede to Golden =
travelling across the Monashee Mountain Range, Rogers Pass and then to =
the Rockies in Golden. This will be a scenic trip as the mountain tops =
will probably still be covered in snow. Golden is where we will overnite =
and Craig will meet us for the Calgary leg.
I hope that I am allowed to use up 3 days for this leg as there is a lot =
of breathtaking scenery along the way. I will be accompanying the group =
that decides to travel the longer route on Day 1, as I have travelled =
this route many times. There will also be Jag mechanics on call for the =
leg, should the need arise. I still have to find asuitable Map site to =
lay this out. Map Quest seems to cater to the USA road system. Any =
suggestions, Bob..

I liken the SC's coordinator's responsibilities to organizing a tour =
of friends through their province / state, showing them the highlights =
(or, per recent discussion, allowing them to go strike out on their =
own). Plan a route with some nice spots to see, eat, and sleep, and =
perhaps a gathering or two along the way. Those who strike out on =
their own are pretty much on their own, except for perhaps some =
emergency phone numbers.
Each Sector will have its own flavour as set by the organizing =
committee. As a group, we have to agree to a minimum set of standards =
only, as well as to get some financial, legal, and insurance issues tied =
down to get rid of legal worries for the organizers.
I have a hunch some Sectors will be quite structured, and others much =
less so. THAT freedom and variance is what will make our Tour quite =
unique.

We are not police, nor minders, nor baby-sitters, nor even tour =
guides in the snese of shepherding people from one spot to another, =
counting heads and so on. If this is what is expected of the SC's, I =
would like to know the limits of our responsibilities now. Some of us =
may not feel we can or should have such responsibilities.
