19 1/2 Hours before Launch Time

Wow, Launch time is creeping up on me. Still waiting for Version 10.0 of our Itinerary for our EPIC Journey Around Georgian Bay 2012. Just talked to Bruce our leader of the Village Angels, who has done the trip and says we'll
be hard pressed to go from South Baymouth, to  Parry Sound  by 5 pm (second leg of the Journey) IF we stop in Sudbury. He seemed to indicate that I take a long time to eat. Hmmm......... may have to revamp our stopping points. Perhaps a quick stop at a Tim's, a tinkle, refuel and on the ROAD again...... doesn't seem like we'll be smelling many roses on that leg of the journey.  Oh well, I'll run with it and see what happens. Glen, our Road Captain says no problem, I worry too much..... relax and enjoy the RIDE !
Life is Short, RIDE IT !

2 Days before Launch Date -Hurdle One !

Yes the inevitable happened by Budd Glen completely dropped the ball as far as booking our second night stay in Parry Sound. I couldn't believe it !  So I had to pick the ball up and run with it and got our booking done last night at about 10 pm with Bryan. I'm wondering why he couldn't have called the hotel and done that as I had done the Tobermory booking. I did hear he was busy out back on his deck having a fire.

Oh well...... people eh ?  You just never know when somebody's going to drop the ball or screw up. Anyway, doing my preparation chores today, after my weekly western omlette at Neighbours.

3 Days before Launch Date

Just received our new Itinerary, Version 9.0 from my Bud Glen.
After shrinking it down a bit, it actually all fit on a page. Getting things
prepped and found out where to get a plug for my Garmin. Apparently Walmart is the cheapest and has a nice little bracket with it and a flapper over the hole so rain doesn't get in......  Will have to make a jaunt to Simcoe I guess IF I want to have GPS ability on-board. It could come in handy, as my Missus often says, I need a detailed map, on board Navigation and a backup Garmin GPS to find where we're going when we are RVing.

5 Days Before Launch Date

Our Epic Journey Around Georgian Bay 2012 Version 9.0 has been drafted and by Buddy Glen has apparently emailed it to me.... We are about to embark on an EPIC Journey as I have never been on a L.D. Tour via motorcycle. Glen calls it a "MINI TOUR" but it will be a biggee for me never having done more than day trips... This trip will encompass 3-4 days of on the Road !
