You are sworn to secrecy....no matter what the bribe you are offered...no telling any of the merry band what you and your lady have planned for us....trust me, some of them will be making some mighty generous offers for just a "little hint"..
My lips are sealed M'lady.

My wife Karen and I are the couple that will meet the group at the border and plan to lead them on some roads they will not be aware of as they start their adventure through BC Canada. This won't add significantly to the time spent traveling on their first day but will give them an opportunity to see the amazing vineyards and orchards we live among.
It has been fun for me working with Karyl in the planning of their trip through BC and the Yukon as we have done these routes several times including Alaska. I have not said much about Alaska however as I could not possibly be as familiar with it as Akspyderman.
Unfortunately we can't travel the whole trip with the group as our vacation plans this year were already made but we will be traveling with them in spirit and hope to keep track of their adventures.
This is the view that we are forced to endure every day.
We won't be on the Spyder but we will be at the one and only Microtel in Eagle River July 8-10 to attend my Nephew's wedding at the Alyeska Resort on the 11th and 12th. Hope to see you guys.
Yes JT, we will also be at the Microtel on the 6th through the 9th,see you there. Gary, what route are you taking from the US/Cdn border, as we will be in Kelowna /Peachland leaving for Clinton B.C. June 29th to meet up with the group.

Helen and I (George) are the couple from Phoenix, AZ. It's about a 3 day ride to the meeting point in Chelan. WA and we've blocked out 4-5 weeks for the round trip. Excited, doesn't begin to describe our feelings about this adventure, and after meeting some of the participants at a meet and greet at Spyderfest, we feel that we will be in very good company.
Will you be able to get the recall work completed on your Spyder before the trip?

I went into the dealership today and was told they would order the kits for my and two other bikes by days end. I believe that the kits are coming out of Georgia so should be here early next week. At worst, if the kits come from Canada, they should be here in 10 days. I'm also having my 30K service done at the same time as the kit is installed so should be done in plenty of time. Fingers crossed, and toes.
I'm picking up my new Spyder in Dallas on June 11th and riding it back up to Seattle-however long it takes. I'd love to join you guys but will have to see what my husband says. What's the youngest passenger you would allow to come along?

We are all well over 18 so I would think that a child would be bored with our company.

You might be surprised... but I definitely would not want to make anyone on the ride uncomfortable, especially being that I am new here! At any rate, I just found out about this ride and I'd love to go but not sure my husband would be cool with me taking off to Alaska right after my trip to Texas...

If your husband's name is Griffon, you should have no problem "taming" him and him keeping his cool. As a certified old fart, there is a lot of pleasure seeing the world through young eyes.

If you are seriously considering going, you should contact Karyl (MurphyBrown) about it. She has arranged all our lodging stops and we all have reservations. If there are still rooms available you'll need to get on it. now. Karyl is going to re-confirm all the reservations next week.

Ha ha, no, I have a herd of SAABs at home and their symbol is a griffon. Plus Spyder F3's remind me of those mythical creatures. I would love to go on this trip but I think at this point I will have to wait til next time just because my trip from Dallas might eat up all of my "fun time" for this summer. I hope you all have a great time though!
Just in case anyone was wondering....official countdown started on my desk calendar...yep just put the big X on today...well it is almost 7 a.m. so day is done right???? Have a great day.

We are pretty well ready with everything ready to load. Just need to do an oil change just before we leave. Heading west from Saskatchewan in about 2 1/2 weeks. Looking forward to meeting up with the group again.
