We have all made it home..

A note from Dave and Adrienne, so now all of the crew that headed out to Winona for MMEMW2009 have arrived home. Roger arrived back in London earlier in the week.

"We have arrived home safe and sound. After Marcel dropped us off in Lethbridge we stayed with friends for five days. Relaxed a bit and went sight seeing to Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump, the Lancaster Air Museum, Fort MacLeod and dozens of antique shops in Nanton. We then borrowed a truck from our friends in Lethbridge and rented another U-Haul and hit the road last Friday. We made it to Princeton where we pulled over for the night. Early the next morning we headed out to Victoria and managed to catch the 11 oclock ferry without any problems. Finally drove up to our house around 2:00 and off loaded Wooster and turned in the trailer. We want to thank Marcel C for giving us the lift to Lethbridge. You are a life saver and an asset to the Mini community. Thanks again Marcel and we are looking forward to seeing you next year at Mini Meet West in Penticton. Also a big hug and thanks to Roy and Pam L of Lethbridge for letting us use their truck to tow Wooster home. Also want to thank Mike and Roger the Hat, Terry and Linda for the support and help getting us to Winona. Also would like to thank Rick Higgs for trying to get us help back to Victoria and all the Mini Maniacs at Winona that helped or sympathized with our plight. Once again we would never have made it back without your support. Thanks again and we will see you at MMW in Penticton next year. "

Next year will be a short trip for us, as Penticton is an easy days drive.. See you at MMW2010! I am off to London in the next few weeks, and will be going to IMM/Mini 50 celebrations with Rog. Mike

On our way home

We left Lethbridge today at 7:00 a.m. and stopped at Princeton at 6:30 p.m. LONG day of driving. I honestly never knew BC had so many darn mountains! Wooster is safely tucked up on his trailer enjoying being chauffeured I think! Picture to follow. We'll be home tomorrow. YAY!

Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump

Tuesday in Lethbridge

We went to Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump today. It was great. Had buffalo burgers and a buffalo smokie. From there we went to Fort MacLeod and visited the old RCMP fort and saw a musical ride put on by students dressed up as 1800's RCMP. All very interesting. Talked to Willi on my webcam tonight but I think he has forgotten who we are. sigh!

Our Motel last night.
Time to go best Motel so far
Rain again, but not to bad. Below the back to the Border.

Leavenworth to Victoria BC 345km

We have arrived home.. a total of 6884 km. Car is still running great and very dirty. I think I got every bug on the road that Murray missed! It will take me a week to clean up the car and get it looking good again.. A great trip..

Rain...

Rain & cloud we just drive through, struck by lighting too, as
radio went into over drive screeching a bang, but we drive on.
