Swisha Loop 2018

Just want to make sure the date has been decided, my wife is being asked to submit vacation time request for the summer.

August 6th ~ August 10th is the week?

More camping action showed up today

That neat ass temp monitor showed up as well, better than I thought it would be. I thought it would only keep track of temps while the bluetooth is connected and the app is open or something. No, it keeps all the data on the sensor, and your bluetooth device just queries it for new data on the fly. So it always has ALL the data available.

 

I believe so that's the dates we agreed upon, right @tacoma16 & @Joe23

Also got this for a "lazy man" meals.



and picked those

 

As of right now yes think that's the date were going for

 

We can make it official....

 

I’m not gonna make this trip so my opinion means nothing on this topic but I say do it. In my experiences planning trips it’s way less stressful picking dates and sticking to it. It’s almost impossible to find a date ever that works for everyone. I know it sucks, I’ve missed many trips, but the fun of this hobby is there will always be a “next trip”

 

The man said make it official!
So August 4th Saturday , everyone will be making the drive to Quebec!?

 

Im cool with whatever.

So Saturday August 4th we all meet at the designated location (I think we will send a pm out with all the info).

With leaving on the Saturday it gives us wiggle room for "in case" situations. Essentially, giving us 3 extra days on top of the 5. Ill add it to the OP


Official start date Saturday August 4th

 

Yep, we have the plan, just need to polish it and will send it to those who are coming.

 

You guys will be meeting at the gas station on route 307? I may be metting you at the meeting point, And maybe roll with you for the day! It would be a cool day!

 

Most of us are meeting in TO and then heading up there, how many people are coming with us from Ottawa/Quebec?

 

Me and @Bocsy44 passed on this one... for others I don't know...

Is it a possible thing to give an estimate time that you guys will be on Quebec Border on August 4th?

 

We are still looking at the times, but I would estimate we will be passing those areas around 1-2pm, depending on traffic and how many times all those heavy guys will need to refuel with their 14-20L/100km

 

I'll continue to keep an eye on that thread for the estimated time. I would really like to convoy with you guys for the day! Maybe camp for the first day, depends on how late you want to roll, but for me, anywhere we reach the first day will still allows me to go back home the next day

 

You are more then welcome!
We will be PMing those who participate all the information in May, to keep it a bit private and secure, but we will be updating this thread too with some general information, so keep an eye on it.

 

Great thanks!

Maybe @Bocsy44 will be available too for a wheeling day, will see what he thinks about it

 

Man- I knew I couldn’t make it this year, but I just got a big stomach-drop-of-disappointment watching you guys start firming up details...

 

Put me down. I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to make it but am actively trying to prep.

 

I just need to make SURE truck is good to go. I'm not willing to inconvenience anyone because of an oversight on my part.
Hey, wilderness @Joe23, what do you think about this thing

This looks fun. Wife and I have been on the road for 8 months, we'll be just outside of Montreal working on our fixer upper by then. If we can sneak the time in, we'd be stoked to rally with y'all!! Think we'll have enough fuel with one extra 5gal/18.9L Jerry can? Other than that, sure our rig can make it!
