I am going to try and make it, should be good but it depends on work. If I do then I will volunteer for some duties (not doodies).
What other ways are you advertising this? Maybe I can help that way too.

I know a great little hotel in Wawa. That is my halfway point.
From Winnipeg to Kenora you can dodge deer.
From Kenora to S S Marie you can dodge moose.
If you go through Michigan, you can dodge deer again.
Keeps you alert.

The drive through northern Ontario is pretty awesome, a VIA Rail ticket would let you watch scenery and never have to stop for gas. They probably wouldn't let you take a turn at the wheel though.
I think I've had a few beers at that hotel in Wawa, many years ago.
You can make it.

Bruce I've done the drive to Thunder Bay and that took almost 24hrs of driving...
Next weekend I'm going to the
Concours d'Elegance, Sunday June 19, 2005, Appleby College, Oakville to hand out flyers to the Porsche crowd.
I will also be hitting all the bug shows I can with flyers.

Going the North Shore is way longer..... the mapquest route goes thru the USA (cheaper gas too)

I've driven the North Shore several times. Yes it's beautiful, but If I'm driving a 914 that far I want people every 200-300 miles incase I need help. :

Do Bug guys like 914 guys? Or do they think our cars are Porsches and call them NARVs?
Mark Henry
Jun 20 2005, 10:27 AM
That's funny...couple of years ago I was at a bug show and a guy said "that doesn't look like a VW to me".
Most of the bug guys will drool over the P-cars....but some won't admit it.
Mark Henry
Jun 20 2005, 10:31 AM
We have at least a half dozen 914's coming...I'd like to see at least 3 times that number.
Who's bringing their 914? Come on guy's get them off those jackstands!

I'd like to be there, but it's the day after my wedding and I think my wife would rather spend the first day of our honeymoon in a slightly more romantic and exotic location.
Nice tractor, though.

I've been approched by the Audi club as they also have no show. Alex from the German look forum might be handling that end. I'll know more later today.
Looks like we might have a large all VAG show happening here!

Just bring your stuff and $15 for each 10 foot spot (about 25’ to 30’ deep) pre-register not needed.
WE ARE ALMOST ALL READY FOR THE SHOW !!!!!!
Still lots to do, signs to make, etc. but it’s moving along.
There will be good signs on most routes to the show, watch for them!
Mark Henry
Aug 12 2005, 09:34 AM
Anyone that does a mapquest or yahoo map search...both are a bit wrong, but if you get there you should see the signs.Zoom out to level 6 and you can see Elizabethville, whoever made these maps is on crack
