    Default Any western Canadians?

    I'll be passing through Canada this summer from Calgary through the ALCAN into Alaska. Any BOTLs in the vicinity? I'm looking for things to see at people to herf with.

    Don't know if it fits your schedule, but momma and I are doing an Alaskan cruise from 6/10-6/17. We'll be around the western part of Canada (Victoria, BC), etc. around that time.

    What route are you taking through Alberta?

    I live north of Edmonton but would be happy to meet you there (or in the vicinity) for a cigar if the timing worked out and you're heading through (or past) it on your way north.

    Duder if you go to Victoria during George's cruise two things:
    1. Don't trust George, he totally hustled my wife and I in what became known as the Great Dragon Scam (GDS), which was featured on 60 minutes a few months ago. You can read a bit about it here.
    2. There's a guy here named Mark who lives in Vancouver. I can't remember his username. TwinkleToes or something. I stayed with him when I did the Epic Road Trip (ERT). You can read a complete day-by-day synopsis of the trip here. Just show up at his house unannounced, he likes surprises like that.
    3. Lately I find that making lists with three things in it is ideal.
    You're welcome.

    "Hustled" your wife? Certainly not! In fact - not to be a conspiracy hound, but I sense this could potentially be a weak attempt to cover-up of her involvement in the great Yugo fiasco.

    Inquiring minds gotta know...

    George, I will almost certainly be staying pretty far north or east of Victoria (really just heading Buzz's advice). Enjoy that cruise with the lady though!

    Cpt, My plan right now is to hang a left at Edmonton and get on the Alaska Highway there. I was reading about another highway that bypasses Edmonton through a National Park and is supposed to have killer views. I'll let you know when the time gets closer.

    You'll be coming right through Grande Prairie, AB. Give me estimated dates and I'm game if work cooperates.

    Sorry our timing and location don't match up with your trip. That would hav been great to catch up with you. But - neither here nor there - the wifey poo and I intend upon enjoying the crap out of this cruise!
