COC - First-Annual Ground Squirrel Day Festival at CrossIron Mills\n

Thanks to everyone who signed up and played along with this year's folly. \"See you\" next year! Comments from the Jokey Jokersons...

Wendy: might be a bit late as attending Barb's event first
Elissa: i don't have much of a sense of humour, but this seems like a good idea. #reallynotreally
Yannick: April 1st events are driving me \"nuts\". :)
Mike: Are you sure we don't go there? I guess we would have to go outside to go there, but we don't know if we can go out till after Millie goes out... I'm so confused!
Yavorka: I can eat ground squirrel but I just can't pick one up and rub it on my face. Also; will I be back in time for wallyball?
Lori: My dog loves shopping....can I bring my dog?
Lois: Will bring peanut butter.
Cynthia: I have an advanced degree in shopping so this is right up my alley. Also I am more than happy to go outside and play! I was wondering if there will be anyway I can volunteer at the Monty Python Booth, I have a in depth knowledge of the Arguement Clinic techniques and can spew some stuff verbatum. \"Snotty faced heap of parrot droppings...\"
Bruce: Ok to bring my Squirrel Dog?
Katherine: Love the great choices for free gifts, especially #4 (o;
Marg and David: We shall be there in our sparkly finest attire :-)

2016-06-04: COC - Highwood Pass (Hwy 40) from North Winter Gate

Best trip to Highwood Pass ever! With the mild spring we've had, the pass was clear all the way to the top, and the temps were extremely warm.

Everyone went at their own pace, but most of us managed to have lunch and a visit at the pass before heading down.

There were a couple of grizzly bears on the side of the road as we were coming down. Duane got some great pics and captured a short video clip

We'd had a bit of a late start because of the road construction on the TCH on the way out, but that was nothing compared to our return to the city. Brent and I didn't make it home until close to 7:00 after spending well over an hour stuck in the construction bottleneck.
