Barry ... don't worry about laying out the route if you don't have route
mapping software. I'll map it out for you and send you a copy for
"vetting". I should be able to get at this on the weekend.

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.
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.
