No one... RCMP loves GAOC!


So its supposed to be 10 degrees this weekend.... brrr that sounds cold, but then I realized I needed to convert the temp.... 503 degee Kelvin... that sounds much better.

[sunrunner_pei]

:funny:

There better not be any tickets.

[RedGrandAm2003]

So who paid them off? :lol:

[sunrunner_pei]

Owen offered up his 'stash'.

[RedGrandAm2003]

chocolate doughnuts? :lol:

Question:
Anyone know of any good scenic type pictures we could go park and such?? I've been thinking and cant think of annnnny. Is moncton that bad? :lol: How about of the new bridge thats built? *shrugs* Guess can park on the old road to the old bridge lol.. oh well thats too far away, nobody wants to drive. lol.. except me.. but i'm weird like that.

[sunrunner_pei]

I have no idea. We got some great scenic shots in Halifax one year though.

[RedGrandAm2003]

well halifax is nice though. I'm trying to think of a place that overlooks the city or something, but nothing comes to mind... its too darn big anyway. I might go for food now that I think of it too. Uhm. There could be some potential that overlooks the Lake. But you'll have to go into riverview.. but if people are willing to drive or whatever. I'd love to get some nice shots of our GA's so I have something to look at while i'm on my vacation :P

[sunrunner_pei]

Riverview isn't far.

[RedGrandAm2003]

yeah but some people might be all like... hate driving and such. Riverview isnt very far, no. (shawn, check your pms :P)

[TheTrader]

there could be a few good spots... near Jones Lake in Moncton, not riverview... ummmm, down beside the road that leads to the new bridge maby... ummmmmm, there is a parking lot that borders on the river & the trail which is right down off of assumption blvd, near the Rogers call centre....

then there is Centennial Park where they have the Atlantic Nationals... could be some good places for shots in there... and also the parking lot for Mapleton Park has a nice log cabin that could be in the background...

there is a bunch of goos places around the city... I work for the City of Moncton Engineering Dept, I have seen them all :P

[2001GAGT]

Hey I just went looking for the pics of us all pulled over and they are not in the gallery, I know they are out there, maybe Kelly took them.

[sunrunner_pei]

I think Kelly has the pic... I was too scared to think about a camera.

[RedGrandAm2003]

:lol: What happend anyway? details please! :)

[2001GAGT]

[JMILLS]

That trip was a Blast we need to do something this fall haven't had one for a few years. I was thinking because Kelly would like to have on in NS, maybe we could drive the Cabet Trail (sp). I think that would be nice.

Kel, do you guys have different software up there? Last time I used my Microsoft GPS unit in Canadaland it told me that the highway was the only road and that I was 25 miles off shore when I went through St. John and that worried me... lol

[sunrunner_pei]

Kelly, you had better be driving the Grand Am, or I'll hit you over the head with a torque converter. :chair: Stop being a :hellocat:

[RedGrandAm2003]

... not sure yet but I did check the front end this morning and everything appears to be tight and secure but it is slightly out of alignment (according to the steering wheel) and doesn't wear tires ... very strange ... anyway, I lubricated all the front end and will wait and see if that works its way in ... rotated the tires too thinking it might be related (even though they really didn't need rotated) :(
