He blew that thread title, 04 and Senic.
Also blew the link to the restaurant.

Crossroads Restaurant Rosseau

Read my sig.

Valk can you change the thread title.

 

I will attend. Never like to miss a chance to drive Southwood. Although Norm is not on the forum (yet) I know that he plan in attending. I look forward to seeing you guys there. Will Bryan be back in Ont. by then? Anyone know whereabouts in Sask. he is?

 

Beaner is in Saskatoon.

 

Sounds like a great event Hal. I already have plans that day that I unfortunately cannot change.

 

Me too - gigging in Grand Bend. We're running out of Summer

 

Sorry Gayle and I have already committed to participating to the Tail of the Dragon on the very same weekend. Any body else heading to the Dragon?

Hal: I just got off the phone trying to make reservations for us to come from Windsor and the lady said they needed a Group Code - 3 #'s. She did not have a block under Southern Ontario Crossfire Club Autumn Cruise. Any ideas or is the block at the Holiday Inn Express?

Paul

 

Hello Kegger,
My oligopolies, a typo was made and the inn said they would only hold rooms on a contract.A pensioner as I, did not comply but Lorne and Elain from London got great rates from the Comfort inn next door. Or you can use my CAA 620 282 1646032 005 Membership and I can meet you there on the Friday evening or Sat morning at your checking out to verify. Phone # 705 279 2278. Would be great if you could make it and share the day with the group. Please take a moment to indicate your intentions.
Till Later
Hal

First time use of the forum has been a task!!!!!

 

Hi Hal: Helen and I coming on the 3rd. I'll make separate reservations then somewhere very close. Are we still to meet at 8 at Holiday Inn?

Look for the Yellow Limited Roadster with the lid on..............far too cold up there when you live in the "Florida" of Canada". I'll let you know where we have made reservations when I make them. Anything planned for Friday night?

Thanks Hal.

Paul

 

Well, Paul - you could always try the top down and use one of those spiffy scarves that Norm (DaJudge) wears! You'll recognize him. He's the guy who looks like Snoopy on top of the doghouse going after the RedBarron. I understand that he'll be bringing Woodstock along in the passenger seat for the day, too!

 

Looks like a good outing....count me in Hal, and Angelo said he is coming if his crossfire is on the road again after the dear incident.

 

Oh deer, those damn dear are everywhere up hear.

 

So I have herd. LOL

 

That was my house and I have guests staying all over my house, they do not know it yet but some are in tents and others in the shed and garage. I got their deposits so they are stuck with it.
PS
Breakfast is extra, a lot extra.

 

Unfortunately, J and I will not be able to attend due to family commitments....enjoy, have fun and post pictures!

 

Thanks to Hal and Gwen for a day well planned!
The twisty roads were a delight, the Fall colours were amazing, the venues visited were a treat and more importantly, the people that made up the group in typical Crossfire fashion, were a delight to hang out with for a day....
