The Spring Thaw is fast approaching, participants are busy in their garages getting cars ready, and the route is looking great! All registered participants were sent an email on Sunday with more info about preparation, start location, and other details (if you didn't get it, let us know!). For those of you unable to make the full weekend, there is still an opportunity to join us at various points along the route. Here are some details to help you rendezvous with us!
FRIDAY, MAY 1 – OFFICIAL START – SQUAMISH, BC
We know you probably like historic machinery of all kinds, so we thought we’d start the event at the West Coast Railway Association’s Heritage Park in Squamish. Google Map
The best time to come check out all the cars would be between 12:00-2:00pm when everyone has signed in and final preparations are being made before the start. Take some extra time and check out the Railway Heritage Park!
SATURDAY, MAY 2 – SUNPEAKS RESORT, BC
Perhaps you're located closer to the interior of BC? Well, head on over to Sunpeaks in the Kamloops area on Saturday afternoon! Spring Thaw cars will be arriving around 4:00pm, and we're planning to meet up with some local car club members outside the Village Day Lodge. The drive up to Sunpeaks is a great road, so come join us! Google Map
SUNDAY, MAY 3 – HOPE, BC
And finally, after a weekend of adventuring through BC, the cars will be arriving in Hope, BC for a Lion's Club fundraiser BBQ lunch, where the cars will be on display. We will be arriving around 12:30pm at the Hope Curling Rink – about an hour's drive from Vancouver. Google Map
We hope to see you out there, and hopefully next year, you can play hooky from work too and join us for the whole trip!
So where do we park on Friday PM?
hey bill goggin…i’m pretty sure friday pm parking is top secret info that is known only by the organizers. we probably wont find out until friday at tech inspection/sign in.
