Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / March 2006PNWCO May 12 to 14 News
Join us the weekend of May 12-14 at Chilliwack B. C. For those that don't know, the PNWCO's have become a regular event up here in the PNW with RORT friends from all over coming for the experience. It is fun and everyone always seems to bring fabulous food. It is always a great way to meet our newsgroup members. I will also remind you that your company is welcome at these campouts regardless of political orientation and we expect everyone to leave political differences at the gate, as has always been the case. Everyone has been great at these get-togethers and it is always a fun time. It sure is fun to place a face with the persons you read on the NG. Chilliwack RV Park is east of Vancouver B. C. On Trans Canada Highway, and halve way between Harrison Hot Springs and Chilliwack B. C. In addition, there are many interesting things to do and see in the immediate area from Minter Gardens to Bridal Falls or Harrison Hot Springs that would prove to be pleasant and interesting port of call. Moreover, for Golf lover the RV Park is surrounded by the Falls Golf and Country Club, and ordinarily that would sound pricy however the cost incl. taxes is $ 24.15 or about $ 20.00 US with full hookup. Please visit our campout website at http://pnwco.rvlover.com/ Please email me at rudy at memotronic dot com for reservations or Ben at rvlover dot com if you decide to join us and we will add you to the web page, or just visit our forum listed at the above web site if you have questions or want to join in. Last time we had 10 rigs from this group and at this point, we have 10 rigs confirmed to attend this one, more are welcome and encouraged. I hope you think of joining us. Considering this one is hosted in Canada I would also like to extend a special invitation to posters from Canada, particularly the lower mainland to join us and to meet some of your neighbors'. There is always a potluck on Saturday afternoon and there will be a coffee-social on Saturday morning. Please stop by the website, check out past camping trips (pictures available) and make your reservation to join us! I look forward to seeing all you PNWCO'ers Regards Rudy > Join us the weekend of May 12-14 at Chilliwack B. C. For those that > don't [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] > > Regards Rudy All well said, Rudy. On another note, we also make it a bit more fun for those that have FRS radios. You can hear the ramblings of the attendees on channel 6. We have a lot of fun with the radios from early morning until bedtime, on and off. Some just listen, others join in, but in any case, it is a means to know what the group is planning as far as dinner or walks, or just for general chit-chat when the inclination arises. Some don't have FRS radios but most of the regulars do now. Just leaving the radios on all day is standard practice. Rudy & Gerri started a tradition years ago of going out to dinner on the first (Friday) night at a local restaurant. It's always an option but as the years past, more people have opted to go. Last campout most everyone went to dinner Friday night and car pooled (see, we are environmentally friendly!). In any case, it's always a lot of fun. Some arrive a day or two early and leave a day or two late. Interesting enough, comradery of the group is huge even though many come from different backgrounds (politically and religiously) since we try to stay off those subjects. These get-togethers have gotten more enjoyable each time. If you are a newbie joining, you'll feel comfortable. If you are shy, just listen to FRS to break the ice. Looking forward to seeing the regulars there and hope we get new attendees too!

You might want to check and see if use of the FRS frequencies is legal in Canada.

Yeah, when you attend, I'll show you why boiled hotdogs are better than BBQed. ;-) Anyway, maybe Rudy can shed some light on the legalities of using FRS in Canada? Thanks for the head-up Tex.

Illegal in all other foreign > countries, though. Ah no, certain frequencies are legal in Mexico for one. I'm certain if I dug I would find others. But one should NEVER assume that a radio that is legal in one country is legal in another.
