due to a slight change of plans by my group, we will unfortunately be missing out on the trip now. We'll hopefully be able to meet up at the cheesecake factory when everyone else gets there though. Sorry guys!
We're too close to do the Supertrip, but there is going to be a boatload of Victorian PAX-goers on the Thursday, 11:30 Clipper to Seattle. Look for the overly-excited pack of nerds travelling with a girl so whacked on gravol that she's forgotten her own name. (That would be me.)

I'll be travelling in that clipper as well...
Lol, *whole boat is full of Paxers, staff on boat are like WTF?*
And Qwhacker, I'm pretty sure all the times listed are in PST or PAX time... hehe
Better double check with bowser but all the BCers are going by their local time for the times listed, which is PST.

Actually that would be me, I wanted to know since otherwise we leave edmonton at 5 not 4....ugh might just leave at 4 anyway...do not want rush hour traffic.
b0wser, I'm going to be going to the cheesecake factory at about 1pm to try and get a table for 14-16 people for 2:30.
if others want to come early to play DS with me in the cheesecake lobby, feel free
Well I don't have a DS as mine decided to die but I'll be heading down there as soon as I check into my hotel...
Maybe I'll see you there early then SmallLady...

Rush hour traffic is a huge bitch no matter where you are. I adjusted the schedule to depart Edmonton at 4:00 your time. The Calgary point will stay as is, but I then added an hour at the Skyline Esso Truck Stop where it would be easiest to get a good meal, gas fill-up, and catch that hour back up to the rest of the schedule. Good idea to bump the watch/phone back an hour at that point.
Any chance on an update for the rest of the schedule?
Does this look better? Not sure how the city traffic flow to the border has been lately.

I'm probably going to be wearing my PAX 06 t-shirt and jeans. My name is Audrey. Depending on how far the gravol's gone, you might need to remind me of that. I will be with four or five guys, probably more as we pick up other PAXers.
I love the Clipper, but I always, always, always get seasick if I don't get loaded. Sigh.

We are going via Jasper - Kamloops - Abbotsford . Leaving Edmonton @ 8 PM, Thursday September 2nd.
we also split the drive among the 4 of us so you must be legally able to drive.
I'm going with two other people from Victoria to Seattle. Most likely taking a ferry between 5-7pm and arriving at the Quality Inn & Suite Convention Centre Hotel at around 11:30ish. If anyone is staying at that hotel or is taking a similar route, let me know. We can stop and have a friendly chat, do whatever. All my other friends from Victoria (apart from the one I'm driving with) are taking the clipper so feh.
Yo guys! Our guy Rob, or Sevecon on the forums put together a video of day 0...
It's pretty much just footage of our road trip down here but I figured since some of you are in it, I'd post it on here.
Enjoy!
