OMG, I wanna see that! I'll even help you get him shitfaced... I'm even willing to tie him down at the tattoo-shop! (and let him pay the bill )

Why not on his chest, btw? Then he has to look at it too

well not too long ago it would have taken 12 or 15 beers to do that but now I'm probably a cheap drunk

[TattoodGirl]

Oh YEAH!!!! and the chest hurts!!!!

He can pay for the drinks too

Detour Lily,their lives wont end being cut off for a week.It was an extra 2 day drive to get to the BC side here when #3 was washed out.

Or walk.That only took 4 hours.

[ziggy]

lily lily:

A 2 day drive, eh? To get from #3 up to #1 and back down again?

You could drive all the way to the coast and back in less time.

3 hours to calgary,6 to golden,then all the way to cranbrook and then sparwood,ya,about 2 days round trip.Unless you know a shortcut.

It was faster to go into the states and through Montana.

I have never had a problem on that road...It is a beautiful ride or drive..depending on your choice of vehicle...Lily is right, its the morons that drive it...when it says slow down..you do it. There is that one corner going into Britannia that will mess you up if you take it too fast....Folks should drive/ride the route to Tofino...NOW THAT IS FUN!!!

Try the going to the sun highway in Montana.The X used to lay the seat down so she didnt have to look out the window at the drop offs.

I would say..."ok,were passed them" and she would get up,look out the window and then give me a left cross because we werent by them.

Yeah, that road is crazy. No shoulder, a flimsy guardrail and a straight drop of 3000 feet! White knuckle driving for sure...

It was a make work project during the depression.Awesome on a motorbike.

Something like the highways going into Mazatlan Mexico.Some of their roads make the Going to the sun look like a sunday drive.

$1:

It's not 6 hours from Calgary to Golden. It's probably nearer 3.

I can drive from my house on the coast to Canmore in less than 12 hours, and that includes stops along the way.

Better add a few hours on to the trip if #3 is closed,thats a lot of traffic on #1

The boys were doing the drive in about 14 hours,I took the chopper and hotel room instead.

lily lily:

I don't know how this is relevant to the slide shutting 99 down for at least 5 days, but I do know that even accounting for extra traffic, there's no way your trip would take 2 days.

If it takes you 6 hours to drive from Golden to Calgary you must drive like a little old man, because I can make the trip from Armstrong to Calgary in the same time.

Well maybe im wrong on the times to golden but im not on the trip because the boys were doing it every 4 days so im sure if could be done faster they would have.

400 guys that did that trip would agree.

Lily your missing the fact that Zig and his buds stop at every bar that's with in 10 miles of the TCH.

Right Zig?

Ha Ha,actually i took the chopper and it was only 20 minutes.I had to stay in Fernie but lots of the boss's were driving for their 4 days off.It was faster to go through montana.

No way would it even take one.


Oh wait.... you were union back then, weren't you? I suppose the boys were putting in for travel time.

2 days round trip,factor in every single vehicle that went to the trans canada that couldnt come on #3 and thats a lot of traffic.

The boss's werent union,no such thing as travel time either. From the work site to cranbrook was 3 hours, do the math and its an all day drive.

[ziggy]

lily lily:

A day there and a day back?

Sorry, I still don't buy it. I've made the trip to Alberta too many times not to know how long it takes.

And I stop for visits along the way.

Try it in tourist season when #3 is closed and go through Invermere,theres probably a few thousand that had to make the drive every 4 days so I tend to bieleve them.
