So hopefully the rain holds up tomorrow. At Harrison lake there will be lunch set up for the meet
There will be the option of a Smokie (chedder and honey garlic) or a regular beef hot dog. There will also be served red potato salad, and watermelon slices. I will also have a few veggie dogs available for anyone who would like one.
Prices are a ticket, which will buy you the lunch , a serving of salad, and watermelon, and a pop or water.I will have plastic forks/spoons/knifes/paper plates and napkins also available as all condiments (fried onions, ketchup, mustard, relish ) I will also be bringing my BBQ up there, and John Hartman has offered to help with the cooking of the smokies and dogs. The place where it will be held is the usual place, near the boat launch at Harrison lake. My wife (Yvonne) will be going up there a bit ahead of time to set up the site, and grab one of the available picnic table area. I will also try and get a table up there to help serve stuff on as well.
Smokie lunch ticket $7
Beef Hot dog lunch ticket $7
extra hot dogs : $1
extra smokie $2
Tickets can be purchased from me, right before lunch. (at Harrison) Bring cash for payment as I don't have any card payment options or anything.

MEET OVER AT AROUND 3:45... everyone then can make there way back to wherever they came from!!
***THREE PLACES TO PAY ATTENTION***:
1. On the Lougheed Hwy between BCIT and Mission, there is 2 turns (or more) for Dewdney Trunk Rd.
One right after the Pitt River bridge, and, the next one.
DO NOT take the one right after the Pitt River Bridge. Its the next one you want! Its clear
if you have the map (you have printed it out right?)
2. Watch for the interchange from Lougheed Hwy to Hwy 1 after leaving Harrison. We have gone the
wrong way more then once!!
3. Watch for the interchange after travelling through Hope, and getting back on Hwy 1.
The HWY 3 exit sneaks up, and we have missed it and headed to the Coquihala more then once!
