Hi Ken: Yes we are planning to be in Vancouver Tour. Get prepared, we plan to bug you and your wife for a few days afterwards. Hope you know of a few sights we can visit. All the best, Bert & Sonia & Aletta and James.

Bert and Sonia-and James and Aleta
I am sure we can keep you amused and busy sight seeing for a few days --No problem. I know of a lot of interesting places nearby. One day trip to Wells Grey Park will have you looking at three or four waterfalls that are quite impressive.Okanagan Fruit growing area is pretty nice country --and they have a lot of wine tasting places as well.That would make a nice day trip. Maybe a nice day on a good jet boat at a big lake here would be a nice restfull time as well. ( could even maybe squeeze in some fishing ) I am sure we can keep you going for a while -

Hi West Coasters !!

Sounds like a nice kick off to the Durant year!

Get everyone and their cars limbered up for Vancouver.

Hope you all have a fun time and find some gold. Maybe then Bert can get some headlights for his Star.

One day Cathy and I will make it to one of your events.

See Y'all in Vancouver......

You haven't lived until you've been to the California Redwoods!

I have made hotel reservations for my wife (Cyndi) and myself for the tour. We will be bringing our 614 and am looking forward to meeting everyone. Do we have a daily agenda as we have relatives in the Modesto area and want to plan an extended time before or after the tour to visit them.

I've made reservations but was unable to use "DMAC-Bert". I guess Bert's influence goes just so far.

I hope my Star can handle the climbs.

Is there parking for my 30' trailer?

Just 17 days to go and the Gold Rush tour gets underway.

Just three days left before the start of the Gold Rush Tour.

It looks like we will have a record turn out of 8 to 9 cars from 1922 to 1930. I will post pictures.

Bert and Sonia have rerun the route and will make sure we won't get lost on these old back roads. But I think with 50 wineries in the area a few of the cars may need to make a pit stop or two along the way.

Frank, keep an look out for the headlights on Bert's Star, rumors are running wild that there may be some progress in that area, but I can neither confirm or deny any of them.

I'm headed out for the Gold Rush Tour now.
Looking forward to a fun time in the in woods.
