Abit of a copy to another thread but i'm looking for the quickest way to take the family on vacation to Enderby area in B.C. next week. In the past i go through Cochrane, Golden, Sicamous then Enderby. This year i was going to try Rocky Mt house, Nordegg, Golden etc. but i just got off the phone with the bro in law and he said that there is major construction still on this highway with long delays. Can someone confirm this? He also tried to tell me that it's waaaay quick to go Hinton, Jasper, Valemount, Salmon Arm. ASny truth to this.

Ric, i know you head to Mabel lake, which way do you travel??

Hey Lexi, if i take the Blue River way can i camp over night in your parking lot:d:d

Summitric, we leave next Friday, July.4th for 2 weeks. I saw that 3 valley gap road on google maps but i don't want to pull the Malibu or trailer for 3 hours down some goat triail. Are you going to be there?

Buck50, the resort we're staying at has an air strip right on it many people that live there own their own airplanes. Check it out. Mabel lake resort & airpark. Mabel Lake Resort and Airpark, Camping and RV Park Enderby, British Columbia, Canada

My buddies(3 of them) all have their own lots on the golf course will all be out there.... My wife is taking her sister out there in the convertible mustang next wednesday for a week, and they'll be in the shuswap falls rv resort staying with their mother. Think we'll be heading out there in july/august some time, but time is precious this year.........:(:(:(:(

i left sicamous this morning. No real construction delays. Maybe lost 10 minutes to construction delays. We went rocky this time. Takes the same amount of time versus cochrane from my house (gibbons). From Spruce Grove go rocky. Jasper will be minimun 2 hrs. longer.

I also know the one your speaking of....nice shack, we thought of renting this then having our friends pulling RV's camp on the drive way and help cover costs. Last year i rented the victorian house in the resort just up from the water.

Sorry Ric, so you will be there or not!!! i'm alittle slow.

Sounds like i should go through Rocky, i'll call AMA and see what traffic conditions are like. Cheers, can't wait:d
