Wondering on the agenda while in the park? I'm asking as I may try to squeeze in a couple of hotel tours/info gathering while you all are out cruising then meet back up (I expect I may depart from the group for about an hour or so....just depending on the plans). This info may be in the thread already just being lazy....lol

LMAO!!! Andy is right. There are no firm plans. Red Rock Canyon for sure. Cameron Falls is a no brainer. Cameron Lake is a great drive if the road is open. As you know, Sheena, there are tons of places in the park for pictures. I'm the type of person that after I've seen something over and over and over...it kind of blurs in my mind. So if you know of anything that would be outstanding down there...PLEASE...say so.

Okay, this will bump this back to the top for everyone.

Andy is quite right on this. It will definitely be easier for us to get onto Macleod. The only bump would be the lights at 162nd. We may not all make it through them at once.

It is the parking lot of the Empire Theatre by the Superstore in Shawnessy. The address is...16061 Macleod Trail SE. If we gather in that parking lot we can all get onto Macleod Trail pretty clear. 2 sets of lights after we leave and then it's clear sailing.

I'll check with jason on the drives, we've done some crazy hikes there, but the trails are a bit skinny to run the cars up will check out some options.....

I'm bringing my mom and I know she's never seen red rock canyon before so that's a must for us!

Okay, yet another update. Finally got hold of the Twin Butte General Store and they are closed this weekend. They are having their annual cancer fundraiser so will be closed both Saturday and Sunday. There are other options for eating. There is even the Heritage in Pincher if we want to stop there then carry through to Waterton. OR, we can do as planned and stop in at Vimy's in Waterton. We can discuss our options.

I don't mind stopping in Waterton for lunch.

Wherever works, doesn't really matter to me!

I don't think anyone would be disappointed with Vimy's. Like Smarbrit said in a previous post. The food was great and the one waitress was SO entertaining. I hope she's still there and we're lucky enough to get her. She could be a professional comedian! LOL LOL

Car is all cleaned up ready for the bugs on the highway. See you all at Empire around 8!

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Up early enough to see the sunrise, see you all soon!

What a beautiful day yesterday was!! Thank you Tom for organizing, great turnout, awesome cars and a fun group.

It WAS a beautiful day! And so calm in Waterton. Don't often see it like that down there. Most everything was perfect. Coming out of Lundbreck Falls, moral of the story, don't let a mustang lead! LMAO!!!!

We did have a ton of fun, did we not?
