Eldon and I got there a few minutes after 9am, and we waited until almost 10am, so we decided that since no one else is coming out, we went for a drive anyways. it was a little wet, but overall, it was still a good drive, it cleared up a little later, was windy though.
The roads past pemberton had a lot of gravel on them, and it was getting a little cold up there, strange considering we did this around this time last year, and it turned out great, but after talking it over, Eldon and I are thinking of doing this once in a while and if others feel like joining, then they can, but we wont get our hopes up in the future.

I was there waiting for at least 20 minutes after 9am.. there wasn't any parking in the church and the big huge school bus infront blocking the entrance. Anyways hopefully we can reschedule for another day..

Well I set my alarm the DAY before, but it never went off, got woken up by some telemarketer and was like **** it's 9:20. My buddy and I bombed up to Whistler anyways hoping to catch the group but obviously that didn't happen. The drive up was crappy because of the rain but the drive down was fun, it was dry and 2 other cars (Benz E500, and a BMW X3) were doing some pretty fast speeds. Anyways hopefully next time. Damn!

I'm thinking of doing this tomorrow since the weather's going to be nice. Can someone please tell me roughly how long the whole trip takes if I take the Lillooet to Lytton part of the loop?

nOOOoooOoo~
damn it's too bad about the weather......
hmm perhaps another meeting place might be better since ppl always had problems finding it (or missing it and then heading onto the highway which is hard to get back around)....
hey Andrew and Mark, did you guys take any pics? post some~ :D

Darklighter it's about 6 hours round trip (without lunches or stops). Post some pictures for us if you go!

Unfortunately, something else came up but I'm still planning on doing this trip in the next week or two if the weather is nice.

This sounds like a pretty sweet drive - I just need to find the time to make it!
