Hi Volks,

As it says in the headline, there are now only 8 days to go until the True Canadian Winter Bus Campout near Cambridge Ontario. This is the second year of the event, and we now have 10 buses confirmed to attend

the event, with visits promised from several others who choose to live

bus-less in winter. Even if you aren't driving a bus at the moment, if

you're feeling the need to get together with fellow bus pilots you're more than welcome to stop in and have a visit. Just be sure to let me know in advance if you're planning on staying for dinner.

What's to do at a winter campout? PLENTY!!!

We'll have a winter hike/snowshoe/XC Ski expedition to explore the park

on Saturday afternoon, followed by an opportunity to learn ice sculpture. For those interested in Ice Fishing there's a well-stocked lake right at the park. If you catch it there, we'll cook it for breakfast, to go with the Burritos. Or as a late-night campfire snack,

if you prefer.

Dinner time will bring us Canada's best "Chili in a Bread Bowl", prepared by the "Duke Of Westfalia" himself, Dennis Jolliffe. After dinner there are plans for a Camp Coffee Cook-off, with a workshop on how to produce the best cup of coffee possible when camping.

And then we will begin the Longest Campfire Of The Year, giving us an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the fact that it gets dark very early in February. We're planning on taking full advantage of this

with Everybus's "ncbus" Chris coming up from Greensboro to jam at the coolest campfire jam session of the season.

The www.accuweather.com "Long Range" weather forecast calls for winter

weather, so be sure to pack your woolies and bring lots of warm clothes. We'll have electric sites and there are flush toilets, heated

showers and laundry facilities nearby so everyone can stay warm and comfortable.

Saturday 2/19 Mostly cloudy, snow possible High -6° C (21F)

Saturday Night 2/19 Very cold with snow Low -14° C (7F)

Sunday 2/20   Very cold with some sun High -7° C (-19.4F)

Need more information? http://www.pottsfamily.ca/The_Bug_Pack/TCWBC http://www.hamrca.on.ca/parks/visit/valens.asp

NOTE: If you're planning on attending, PLEASE let me know so I can include you in the head-count for dinner.

Happy trails,

Greg Potts Toronto, Ontario, Canada
