Kamloops Costco to Vernon via Falkland, then Hwy 6 from Lumby to the Ferry (a great road course) and the up the 93 to Nykusp and in the back door to Revelstoke.

Interesting! Whats the travel time compared to the #1?

We made the trip a two day adventure stopping over in Great Falls, Montana and meeting up with the BC and West Coast boys and girls for a couple pops and some great stories. Then travelled the next day in mass to Sturgis. It is really worth doing and if time permits we are going again this year as are Layla and Andy and hopefully others.

I'd like to do Sturgis one year, but I'm going to Fest in Texas and not sure if I can swing both in the same year. Especially since I'm switching joints and sliding down the seniority list a bit for annual leave.

We checked it out last year and I recall it being the same miles and 1/2 hour longer ( that might be the ferry?) It is a very good twisty past Lumby and Cherryville. It does require 2 hands on the steering wheel. The little 5 minute ferry would hold us all (BC crew).Just something to change it up.

Sounds fine, just have to get Wille to meet us in Kamloops if He wants to travel with us. He can just buzz down from Salmon Arm, that'a not far.

I'll meet in Vernon, 25 minutes from here. It's where I was born and raised. The drive from Lumby to Nakusp can get really slow with RV's and the needles ferry can get backed up a few waits too.

But I'm up for it!

Enjoy.

Sad to say we can't make it to CfestV. I don't get enough holiday time Looks like we can get time off for Stugis though . Plannig on BC/Alberta Meet and Greet once again. Need to do some rescheduling but should be able to make it work.
I'm sure we'll get a couple of Friday Night Street Legals in this year.

Looking forward to seeing our Camaro friends again and making new ones!

I'm taking the easy way out and flying. How can I do that from 30000'?
