I have a 48' enclosed trailer I need moved from Toronto to Red Deer late Aug/early Sept. It will be loaded ready to go and would be a perfect backhaul for someone going back west empty. If anyone knows anyone interested in this type of load or someone who may know about this type of load please PM me
Cheers

All I know is it's an expensive run. About $4800 or so for the trucks we send out there but those guys always run with trailers.

yep its a done deal Rich, couldn't turn down way more money, better perks, ability to race, parts at cost, way better rivers, way less traffic, way more mouintains and way more cute white girls in cowboy hats ;)
Im outta here early Sept and yea the labour day weekend bash at Big Cheif will be the unofficial sendoff and we're tryin to set up a bar nite in town before that that more people may be able to make it to. I will keep you guys posted but come out to BC! Last weekend was a total blast most boats Ive seen there yet I think
I may be on a plane the tues after labour day :O
Any help any of you guys can give is apreciated

A lot of Albertan boaters actually spend their time on lakes in the BC interior, many actually keep them there. Good for business - Ralph's cash spends real good out here !
And Sylvan Lake near Red Deer is actually really nice, but busy.

Haha obviously I have my work cut out for me educatin people about what good boatin is, even out west!
Alberta has alot of sick places to boat, assuming you're into skimmin thru 5" of water, jumping the odd log and scraping the odd gravelbar. :D
I saw Sylvan Lake and other than goin there to party I have no desire to boat there at all. Im moving west for killer rivers and to hone my skills for whitewater racing. I prefer to be able to get out and stand up when there is a problem with the boat lol
The upper Red Deer river, about 30 mins from town, is AWESOME and the Clearwater even better. I fully plan on doing lots of adventure boating next year and hopefully can find some awesome scenic and technical rivers in BC to shoot as well. For a taste of the clearwater look up "Xerophobic" at youtube.com
When I said BC before I meant Big Cheif island where we often party. Some of you club guys should make it there for the labour day weekend. Good weather will bring in huge crowds there and will be my last outing here for a while. The boat may already be in a containeer tho

Yeah...I got trucking connections..sleep with the guy :D ...but he doesn't go west, just east.
We're gonna miss ya and that rooster tail that I think got everyone wet at the bogbash. Looked like you were having one hell of a great time....now I'm wishin I had asked for a ride!!
Not many people get to work at a job that they love...so enjoy!!!!

thanks for the kind words etc everyone its nice to know I'll be missed. I doubt you;'ve seen the last of me in these parts tho, there's a few boat parties im keen to make it to next year ;) My tunnel just may have alot more bars in it and be ALOT faster :D:D:D
And of course once Im settled any of you that care to grab a cheap flight out west are more than welcome to come and see how the other half of the boating world lives, bashin rocks and jumping logs, bring your helmet!
Honestly I cant get out there fast enough......
Cheers

Mandella wish I cold have hung around more to swap 460 tech tips. I never got a ride in that thing myself!
Come on out west next year and watch the Worlds. Seems like Spncer King from Hay River got his big 600 inch Ford working properly at the last race and will undoubtably be a force to be reconed with yet again(he didn't win the Worlds 5 times in a row for nothing :O ) He walked away from the pack from what Im hearing but then again that shouldn't be surprising to us eh? ;)

My new boss Dale told me he placed 2nd. I asked(knowing full well) who he lost to. He said "Spencer" so I said oh well if you're gonna lose it may as well be to a Ford LOL (he failed to see the humour in that for some reason haha)
