Planning For Some T&A

[jamesq]

T&A War is in Clearwater BC this year, which is quasi-near Kamloops. It's also closer to Vancouver (~6 hours) then to Calgary (~9 hours), so I figure I'll head out to the left coast for a few days afterwards. Tentative schedule:

• June 26: Take the Friday off and go to T&A War. A pleasant 9-hour drive through the mountains.
  
• June 27: Shooty-shooty. Bashy-bashy. Drinky-drinky.
  
• June 28: Pack up the camp and go to Vancouver.
  
• June 29-July 4: Hang around with my cool Vancouver peeps. Maybe day trip into Seattle or Victoria via train or ferry.
  
• July 5: Drive back to Cowtown and it's dusty brown-ness.

Along the way I'll see some shows, listen to some music and hang out at coffee shops.

T&A War is likely for us at this point... but not set in stone... we'll see how the next 2 weekends go!

Yaaa AT War. Google is telling me it is an 8 hours drive though. I need to adjust departure time if its 9

Looks like it's 9 hours via Kamloops and 8:39 via Jasper:

Oh! Right I guess I should map to the site itself rather then just Clearwater....

It also calculates that going the speed limit... If you're a ten over (Ie, tends to hit about ten km over the limit regardless of what the speed limit is) like me, then it will probably take 8 hours of driving time.

Not including meals, bathroom break, random wild life, and the like.

I tend to knock off about 10% of what google tells me.

It's usually accurate for me, if only because I tend to take long breaks.

Ohh Random Wildlife. I dont THINK there are any happy couples in my vehicle!

Yea.... just make sure that if you have any happy couples you keep the rear view mirror pointing out the back of car or somewheres else.

Did I ever tell you the story of Caterena Etc. ad nauseum and Althea in the back seat of a car that I was driving undressing?

Ah... Good times.

what ever google says, you get stuck behind RV's at that time of year so don't be too attached to your schedule!
