Mark,It is best to meet up with us on Clifford (near Mount Forest)for lunch ,Then you can cruise with us to Fergus.
Blaine-- Do you have an address for that restaurant in Clifford?

I'm not familiar with that area so if someone in that area wants to pick a scenic route go for it,Just remember some cars have quite a trip just to meet up with us.

I'm not that familiar with the back roads around here . Does Doug have any ideas ? We could check out a back road atlas to make sure we hit paved roads .
I googled between Waterloo and Clifford
Clifford and Mount Forest
Mount Forest and Fergus
about 2 1/2 hrs of driving

I would like to meet up in Arthur since Waterloo is a long way to go to start a cruise. Arthur is about an hour an a half for me.

We need to pick a location to start from, Arthur is around 1 1/2 hr for me too (guesstimate). Maybe we should shorten our cruise a little so we are not driving all day.

Blaine and I can meet in Fergus and then meet up with everyone. Just let us know where and when as it does not matter to me.

Didn't there used to be a map here that showed our locations ? It would be helpful to plan a central spot next time .

I got a guy from Ingersoll coming if it doesn't rain,He is meeting me in Hickson at 8:45am along with Ben and maybe Richard.Plus i got to call two others yet.I'm thinking keeping our meeting place at Timmies in Elmira like other years and cruising from there.We should be there at approx 9:30

That's a good map. Give you an idea of where everyone is coming from . We should keep it and let first gen people add themselves to it . Can you do that ?

Yes, I can. I can do it one of two ways. I can allow anyone to edit it or I can allow a list of e-mail addresses. Those people would have to make a Google account with their address, which is simple and quick. We can't have just anyone editing it though, that would be chaos.:)

Doug

I will accept your offer and meet you at the Fergus Arena at 9 am.

I think there should be a longest distance travelled award! As my contribution I will take myself out of the running for that contest and provide the prize! Winner travels the longest distance to our final destination for lunch.


See you then

Hey guys,

Hope you're enjoying the day. Sorry, I wasn't able to make it out today. Funny thing is I was in Mount Forest yesterday visiting the brother-in-law's family.

Hope to see some pics. I'll make it out that way soon!

Those are some really nice pictures Blaine! A couple of mine turned out alright, but I'm glad someone thought to bring a real camera. Dad and I had a lot of fun and can't wait for the next cruise.
