Hey, you gonna watch Transformers?  

  This summer, I hope to go down to Portland, the Island, Interior BC, National Parks, Bellingham and the usual beaches, parks, etc.

Alaska, BC, Yukon, NWT and Alberta for me. One month road trip. Pray that the god thunderbird is kind...

I don't know what I'll do for the summer. Not going anywhere until august. :)

I plan on exploring my yard....from my adirondack.  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 21 07 01:13
  I've got family in Alaska. So sometime in the future I'll trek up their. But then I also want to see the Arctic Ocean too so I'd take the Dempster highway. But I'd need my car for that.    
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 21 07 01:16
I eventually want to visit every region of BC.
all 26 of them.
 
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: P.C. on Jun 21 07 01:18
We have 26 regions ?  [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/c028.gif" border=0]

Post by: purelife on Jun 21 07 01:19
Uhm, are we talking about summer for this year or for the next coupla of years?  AND, are we talking about what we wish to do for the summer of this year or?  

  OR, do you actually want to know our ACTUAL plans for this summer that are going to be FOR SURES?  

  I'm confused and don't want to hi-jack another thread.

Post by: Michel on Jun 21 07 01:21
Yeah Purelife, I can't tolerate anymore such sun and heat in crazy Van... lol

  Sipposely when you drive the Dempster highway, you have to expect 2 flat tires and your windshield cracked. They say it's the most exciting experience you'll ever live in your life while remaining seated.

  Wouhou ! (not sure about that butt anyway...)

  Oh well, as long as no grizzly eats me...  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 21 07 01:23
yeah I saw a 8 minute piece on the National about the Dempster highway. Some guy from North Van did the whole thing in a motor bike.

On a motorbike ? With all these bumps? Need balls to do that, need balls... (//vny!://discoverseattle.net/forums/richedit/smileys/Happy/12.gif)
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 21 07 01:40
yeah it was some guy in his 60's I think. Then they talked to a girl from Saskatchewan who was bored working at the 24hr cafe at Fort McPherson. Apparently being sort of stranded for a summer is not the best idea.  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: purelife on Jun 21 07 01:46
Whatever and wherever you go SD, I would NOT drive alone.  It's not advisable to go on any of theese trips outside your comfort zone alone.  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Michel on Jun 21 07 01:51
I hope I'll see lots of wildlife that I never or not often saw in liberty, especially grizzlies and caribou. Brook Falls is crazy, you must reserve a campsite in the first week of january if you want to see the grizzlies fishing salmon during the migration of July. Otherwise you cannot stay more than 2 hours there, and since it's around 500 $ for the seaplane... pricey pricey. With some luck, I'll see some fishing in other spots. Kutzeymateen maybe...  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 21 07 01:56
oh don't worry I won't go alone. Besides that's not fun anyways.  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: P.C. on Jun 21 07 02:00
SD....your map shows 28 regions.  (just so you don't miss out on any exploring)

Summer? What summer. It's June and raining cats and dogs. My garden isn't complaining but I can do without the wet weather for a change.
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Devil on Jun 22 07 08:22
Summer is here! yay!

my plans are finishing a few projects through my work

A mid summer trip to South Florida with work...(then I will have to make a decision soon after that)

Going to our cabin for a bit in July, this is what I am looking forward to the most...some R&R!

Hopefully a trip to Portland sometime too to see an amigo there. We camped along the coast in Oregon in 2005, just my son and I , it ruled! We may try to do that again in late August.

Post by: Michel on Jun 22 07 10:49
Last two months in Van have not been very good so far. Is it normal weather here ?
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 22 07 11:02
apparently not. I read something in the Sun about 'Where's Summer?'  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Michel on Jun 22 07 11:07
OK if it's bad at the point that the media talk about it, it's good to know then.
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 22 07 11:20
It's suppose to be in the lower 20's in june, mid-20's to upper 20's in July and August.  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Devil on Jun 22 07 11:41
Actually, Vancouver can have some pretty hot, sunny, sweaty summers. It can stay sunny for long periods of time in July and August.
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 22 07 11:53
Vancouver hot? lol.
Although you guys don't have air conditioning up their so I guess it would be 'hotter'.
 
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Devil on Jun 22 07 12:04
ok, maybe not St.Louy summer hot, but definately into the late 20s in July. Usually people are not dying from heat stroke like in T.O.
Title: Re: Summer!!

Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Michel on Jun 22 07 12:11
Me either, just can't wait to see the real Van summer then, cos I don't want to regret those 34 and 38 celcius humidex from Ottawa and Montréal.
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Sportsdude on Jun 22 07 12:13
I don't think you'll see it that hot in Van. Unless you go into the interior. Apparently it gets that warm there.  
Title: Re: Summer!!
Post by: Devil on Jun 22 07 12:26
Yes, in the rain shadow (Kamloops area to the Okanagan/USA border). temperatures regularly exceed 38 degrees. Its not too humid either.  Kamloops gets wicked lightning storms because the cool coastal air crashes in with the dry desert like heat. I think there is even a lightning study centre in Kamloops?
