Expect more and more now, as we count down those last, final, desperate 100 or (...) (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

(...) How about anyone else? Let's tentatively assume it will be on the 20th, unless the rest ring in with major conflicts. That will make it a lot easier for all of us to plan. Robin (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

Not counting the border wait, which might sink this idea, Everett is about 2 hours drive from where we'd be leaving from. I checked this (...) (23 years ago, 24-Sep-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
