Camping Directions

Oh, and by the way, Bryce says he is not whipped!!!

Follow the trans canada highway all the way to Revelstoke. Just before you get to the bridge to go into town (right on the highway), there is a traffic light and a road turning off on your right. There will be signs for the ferry... I forget the name of it. Turn Right on that road and follow it all the way to the ferries. (about 25min?)

Just before you come around the bend to the ferries, there is a forestry road going up on your Right hand side.... it is the last road on your right, before the ferry. You may have to go down to the ferry and then backtrack...unless you are watching for the ferry distance signs. We will try to put up a sign at the road.

Just a little up the road, it branches into 3 roads.... we will try to put a sign here too.... take the center road. the one to the left go's to a log yard and the ont on the right goes up in the hills. follow the center road for about 10-15 ?? min. and watch for our sign on the left. There is no cell coverage after about half way to the Ferry on the main road... It's really not that hard.... 2 rights, a center and a left... watch for the signs.

We will be going up there monday morning... the 31st... an coming home on sunday the 6th. Hope you can make it, if even for overnight or a day. We have extra tent room if anyone needs somewhere to stay for a night...bring blankets though.

CHANGE OF PLANS FOR TONIGHT>...

we decided amonst a bunch of us that we are going to go to the town theatre instead... The Divinci Code is playing at 7:15 and then we are going to stay and watch the Lakehouse as well @ 9:45... something tells me they don'e have debit either, so bring cash... I think that has happened to me a couple times now....

Us girls have seen the lake house and it is really really good, totally recommended... but confusing. We will be leaving here at about 6:45 ish.

let us know if you want to come..

POKER TONIGHT???

THERE! THOUGHT THAT WOULD GET YOUR ATTENTION!!!

Anyone interested?? Was hoping to have people over to play a little chips.... but if not enought people can come, then what about Munchkin? we havn't done that in over a year... if not... then.... LETS DO SOMETHING!!!!! Give me a call... will be gone between 1-2:30 but then home again...leave a message on the answering machine...

Hopefully see some people tonight...

Thanks guys!!!

Camping

I should be able to make it out camping next weekend, even though my tent buddy isn't here :( ... So far I get off work on Friday at 3 and am not working until the Tuesday after the weekend. So Yay!

Camping fir Juky

Hey Everyone,
Sammi here! I have decided to not go canping because I am suppose to stay away from smoke and dust for the next week. Since these are my eyes we are talking about, I'm going to play it safe and stay home.
The surgery went well this morning; I'm typing this without glasses. It's a bit fuzzy, and my eyes are getting tired. I'll talking to everyone when I see you.

Camping Location has changed... For July

So not enough people are able to make it for te weekend to camp... As a result, we have decided to change July longweekend to the site on Okanagan Lake where we have gone the last few times...
Coming from Vernon, it is just as west side road begins to climb... it is before Fintry. The campground used to be the old Okanagan lake rec site but has now been renamed 'Evely'.

We will be going out Wends morning to get a good spot and then heading home Sunday. Now that we are going to this closer spot, we are hoping that you will come and visit us and maybe stay the night... If it turns out that no one is going to come out , then we will just go out to Sugar lake as planned.

Please let us know if you can come out and what days you think would work...ASAP

tickets to Salish

I am picking up some tickets tomorrow (WENDS) for me and a couple other people.... if you would like some.... phone me at home and if not there, on my cell. $8.00 tickets and the guy says they are going fast... there will be none at the door.

Hypnotist... Saturday night

Hey all.... Guess who is coming???

Salish is coming to Sneakers Sat night. I am wondering who wants to go???

The show starts at 9:30pm. We would have to be there at about 7pm again to get seats.... we could do a late dinner and or drinks...

Tickets are on sale already and I think they are going to go fast so we should get them soon/ OR at least by thursday. Please get back to me ASAP if you are interested....

Just weekends...

Well.... I probably won't get any extended time off, but it looks like I've been working mostly Mon to Fri and if I do, then I can come out Friday night maybe and stay the weekend.. or even come out for the day if it's close enough. But I get what you mean about the money... yipes for charging so much... I'll try to make it out to where you are. :)

camping

I thought you weren't able to make it though Mel??? The problem with Ellison and all those big campsites is that they cost way too much... Cherryville is close to where you are..??? and then we only chose Eagle bay because we havn't been out there for 2 years and it is a really cool campsite... totally worth the drive.... They ususally don't come around and collect there either which is awesome and a life saver because we would be going out for a week and Isaac is planning on 2 weeks.... so we have to keep it cheap. There are also lots of logging roads for Isaac's 4x4ing expeditions and there is a nice waterfall to hike to. I know it is farther away.... but not much if not the same as going out to Shuswap near squilax where all the non-resort campsites are. (Adams lake ect.).

I would really like to go somewhere close but they are usually all pay sites ($$$) or Evely, which we've exhausted these last couple of years.

Are you able to get time off now???

ET Phone Home!!

Hey guys!!

Perhaps we could go camping this year closer to home? Like Ellison Park? or even Shuswap Lake!!! (although it's 2 hours away.. so not so close)

Anyhow.. just a thought :)

My gift to you..

Hi All!

How's everyone doing? Sorry I've been out and about for a while. I've been working on alot of progects for the Navy. Including a new admin program I helped design. It's in french because it origionated in Quebec for some strange reason. Something about the french loving to program in perl. Who knew? lol.. I also got a ID card system going to all the cadet military camps in BC. Ontop of your standard Network Admin stuff. Creating passwords, accounts, router configs, help desk, etc.

I've also been doing the tourist thing in Victoria as well! Melissa came and visited!! :D We went to the Butchard Gardens (a.k.a The But Gardens! lol) It was SOOOOOOO beautiful! All pretty flowers! too bad I was elergic to it all! lol... My nose took weeks to recover! Then we saw an IMAX flick on some air force thing. I wanted to see some NAVY BOATS!!! But there wasn't a show like that. I pouted for a bit, but it was really cool. We also went to the Royal BC Musium. It sucked. lol. Let's see...where else did we go... OH YEAH!! We did a tour of the Parlement buildings! We saw where some crazy Irish lady came and just started talking away! It was wierd.

The pictures are of me and my sweetie in the but gardens, Melissa in the inner harber, me infont of the Empress Hotel. And there's this crazy duck!! He sits in font of the Queen Victoria Statue and waits for a unsuspecting tourist, when I took a picture, it just CAME and charged at me!! I didn't know where to run away or just kick it! It was NUTS!!! OMG!!!

So today we had a final ceremony with the cadets. I was given the "Cadet Good Service Medal" YAY ME!! Basicly it's a medal just conferming that you have no life. lol. At the end of the week, I pack my bags and head up island to sunny comox! Where the sea guls crap even more then usual and it rains only 3 times a week! Yay me! lol. The good thing is that I get free room and food! There I take over the base IT section there and run the navy camp there. Should be interesting. I'll be the bastard Network Admin from hell!!! HAAA HA HAHAHAHAHA!!! <--- crazy evil laugh! I have to pack this week. *pout* I hate packing...

Well, last week of work, the end of one thing and onto the next. At least the hang over will stop. Now it's onto something new and exciting. I'm heading to bed all! I didn't get a nap today so I'm kinda cranky today..lol.. You guys can still reach me at my e-mail address. Let me know when the camping weekends are going to happen, I can book days off then.

Take care all! If you want more pictures let me know!

Cheers,

-me

Heavenly Nights Party is a go.... Thursday night!!!

Hey all,

Geri just phoned me and said that she just isn't going to answer her phone tomorrow night and as a result, the party will not be cancelled at short notice. YES!!!!

So she is going to be here to set up at 6pm and we will start at 6:30.
CAN YOU PLEASE BE HERE BY 6PM as well..... It is important that we start on time.

Most people will be showing up shortly after 5.

I will pick up some buns and sandwich meat.... and Lindsay will be coming over a bit early, so her and I can handle that.... Sammi- can you bring your peperoni/cheese platter , Ariel- can you bring chocolates again.... just some different types that we can mix in a big bowl? I will see if Mandy can bring a veggie platter.... And any guy's that are coming can bring chips and dip or salsa. It will work out really well again if we can do it this way and then there will be a variety of munchies.

I also need a final count on who is coming.... so far I have Sammi, Mandy, Lindsay, Ariel, Monica, Cory, Dave, Bryce, and maybe Chris/Danielle, Shelley/Cam, Joanne
