June 20th, 2015 - 6th Annual "Alberta" Camaro Cruise
 

The 6th Annual “Alberta” Camaro Cruise will be held on June 20, 2015.

Edmonton Camaros will be meeting at IKEA South Edmonton Common - 1311-102 Street https://www.google.com/maps/place/IK...ae180355ab8bc9 at 8:00AM, leaving Edmonton 8:30AM.

Calgary Camaros will be meeting at the Davenports, 1530 Aviation Rd NE Calgary, www.davenportmotorsports.com, at 7:30AM, leaving Calgary at 8:30AM.

All Camaros will be meeting in Red Deer at the Costco/Staples parking lot - 162, 37400 Hwy 2 - 10:00AM - 10:30AM. We will be leaving Red Deer at 10:30 sharp, due to highway construction and route change, and driving to Rocky Mountain House, which is about an hour and 20 minutes away. Red Deer to Highway 11, North on Highway 20, West on Highway 12 and South on Highway 22 into Rocky Mountain House.

The Chevrolet dealership in Rocky Mountain House, Edwards Chevrolet, www.edwardsgarage.com, will once again be hosting a lunch for our group. This year will be a little different, as the dealership has elected to work with the local Boys and Girls club to cook. Lunch will cost you a $5 donation to the Rocky Mountain House Boys and Girls club. A great cause and worthy of our support based on all that Edwards Garage has done for us over the past 2 years. We will be departing from Rocky Mountain House at 1:30PM(Sharp).

Rocky Mountain House to Saskatchewan Crossing is about 190km, with two stops along the way, Abraham Lake for photos and the Park gates. Each stop will be approx. 20 - 30 minutes, this will keep us all together. We will also be stopping at Saskatchewan Crossing for a short break. For those heading south from Saskatchewan Crossing, Banff is about 135km, with great stops like Lake Louise along the way. For the majority of us that are headed north, Jasper is about 155km, with some great stops like the Columbia Ice Fields along the way.

For those headed to Banff:

We do not have a designated hotel, last year we used the Douglas Fir Resort & Chalet, located at 525 Tunnel Mountain Rd, Banff, AB, www.douglasfir.com, which proved to be adequate.

For those headed to Jasper:

Booking a hotel in Jasper this year has been more difficult than most as, most hotels are sold out for that weekend and most Saturdays in June for that matter. We have blocked 35 rooms at a “Preferred Rates” with the Best Western Jasper Inn & Suites, 98 Geikie St., Jasper, AB. The rooms will be available for our group until 4pm April 20th, 2015. This is a busy time in Jasper, so book early. I am also working with a second hotel for an additional 15 rooms but at this point, the preference is to get as many as possible at the Best Western. Book early to avoid disappointment. You can start booking anytime, directly with the hotel on their reservation line at 1-800-661-1933, quote Reference: Alberta Camaro Cruise - 407700-82G.

________________________________________
I will be monitoring the posts and recording the people that have said they are coming on June 20th. The first number will be for tracking of people for the BBQ at Edwards garage, the "yes" or "no" if you have said that you booked a hotel room in Jasper. Then the number if you said "yes" to a group dinner and told me how many people from your car will be attending.

Please check your information. If you are not on the list or I have missed your confirmation or I am missing your numbers, please let me know. I would like to be able to give accurate numbers to Edwards Garage and track numbers for the group dinner.

Sunday - June 21, 2015 - Father's Day! I am open to suggestions.

Want to thanks you 68 RS for setting this venue up. My wife and I are planning to just do the cruise with you folks for Saturday only and head home that night. I will be leaving Camrose and head over to Rocky Mountain House to meet up you folks there. Cruise up to Jasper and leave later on that evening.

Thanks John!

I'm gonna keep this date open as I would like to join in on the cruise as I would like to get some mileage on my car because for being a 2010 and having 8800km on it just ain't right lol

John, your the man.
Thanx for keeping this alive and growing, I am definitely in for the trip to the Xing just not sure of an over nighter yet.....
Looking forward to running the Camaro with the pack.

I am BOOKED! 2 for group dinner.
Like I mentioned before, I may have another thing going on that weekend, and may only be able to go as far as Rocky. I'll let you know if I give up my room :)

Also, John/Layla, I will volunteer to send out the forum private messages to everyone from the list last year. If someone else has already started this, please let me know, otherwise I will start this later tonight.

Booked four nights at the Maligne Lodge in Jasper.

Alright, I've sent out all the private messages to everyone that was on the list last year. There were a few names that didn't match a forum handle, so if someone knows the following personally, perhaps you can let them know?

• John Nielson
• Ed and Irene Sware
• Dennis Lavergne
