Anyone in Alberta

Hey All,

I have a 2004 purple SSR and live in Edmonton. Anyone living close? Anyone thinking of going to Peachland in June? We are considering the drive.

Hi, Nace

Welcome to SSRFanatics.

Frankmp is from Edmonton, has a red SSR. Bumblbee (yellow) and Doctorde (silver on black) from Calgary are on here as well. I think a convoy from Alberta would be great - were you referring to the Peach City run in Penticton?

Still have a pretty good number of hotel rooms available. Should be a blast. We did the Lake Chelan run last September and really enjoyed it. Most of the group that met in Chelan will be coming. Sandy and Wayne (Turnheadz) will be there with their UV, and we're hoping Johnny from Wenatchee will have his there as well. Johnny has killer ghost flames on his.

Nice to see you on the site - stay in touch. I'll be in Edmonton for the Boat show mid March - I'll be in the Supra/Moomba booth. Drop in if you get a chance - frank may come around as well.

Hi Nace. Welcome aboard!

Ray, I'm thinking of trying to make the trip in June but too many variables in life to book rooms just yet.

I understand about life and its variables. I have no idea what I'll need to be doing that weekend, either. All I know for sure at this stage is that whatever it is will just have to wait.

I've been at the Beach Cruise since it started, and this is the first year I'm actually going there to play. Every other year, I've had a boat on site, trolling for potential customers. This year is all about having some fun with other Fanatics.

I guess I'm getting closer to semi-retirement.

Hope you can join us - as the list of confirmed Fanatics gets longer, it'll become more tempting.

Thanks for responding, we are going to try to make it to Peachland in June if work and life allows it. Too early to book rooms yet. Stay in touch and we will let you know when we figure it all out.

Thanks for the reply. We will let you know what we decide. Stay in touch

Born and raised in Edmonton but now call the west coast home. Hope that still counts as having Alberta blood??

Really, really, hope you can make the Peach City Beach Cruise this year.

This truck is just so totally amazing, and the only thing that can add extra wow is to see a string of them all in line, shining proud in Penticton.

Fingers crossed that we will see you there - I've already registered and the hotel rooms are booked!

I'm also ex-Edmonton. Grew up in northern Alberta, went to U of A, worked several years in Edmonton before moving to the Okanagan.

Nathan - remember that we're in Penticton, not Peachland - you'll be really lonely looking for us there.

Hope you can make it. I had only met one of the Fanatics at the Chelan run by a total fluke when he was driving to Penticton. After two days with the group, it felt like we had known each other for ages. You'll really enjoy the group, plus we have entertainment, food and a great car show to top it all off.

Keep in mind the room reservations are only being held for us until 60 days out.

I've got a perfectlly good Honda van for any inclement days. At the slightest sign of a flake,(snow that is),the ssr,(what does ssr stand for?),will be in the garage--It might even think that it has been adopted by someone in a warmer climate.

Thanks for the reply Ray. I'm in Calgary. I am awful at comp. skills but today I think that I have finally figured out how to reply. I'm looking forward to learning about this crazy truck and meeting some of the other folks who are crazy enough to own one. If you would like to chat off of this site--and maybe help me with some of the skills needed to use this site better, contact me at --johnonline@shaw.ca--I also have a nearly free long distance phone plan and if given a number and an appropriate time to call would be glad to do so and chat.

One last blitz for our fence-sitting friends. Our room allocations will end on May 19th or so.

There should still be accomodations available after that time. there are lots of motels in Penticton, and a few in Summerland. Our guaranteed rates are better than shelf rates if you were to phone in.

Hopefully, a few more of our Alberta friends will decided to make the trip.

NW SSRs at the Penticton Peach City etc

Hi, For sure.
Bought the first one about a year and two weeks ago... By July 'she who must be obeyed' said she was not getting to drive it enough so... started the hunt for a second one. Picked it up about two weeks ago in Oregon.
