Sounds like the meeting is going really well. Just wanted to post a message to let people, who remember me giving a talk there in 2010, know that I now have a book published about my trip - with the help of The Ted Simon Foundation.

'Gone Riding' is available on kindle as the easiest way for North Americans to get a copy. And please do - I'm really nice about Canada! :)

More details on my website...

Does anyone know the dates for the meeting in Nakusp 2015?? I missed it this year and I'm not making the same mistake again.....However I have to book my next years holidays in October.

If anyone has any info, that would be great?c?

Laundry
 

To answer my own question, in case someone wants to know for next year. There is indeed a laundromat with some front loading washers just a short walk from the campground by the Esso gas stn.

Great meeting. I really learned a lot.
Ziggy gave a URL where we could download his list. I lost it so I'm hoping someone else got it.
And is there a place to see photos?

Thank you!
 

We had a wonderful time in Nakusp. It was our first meeting and we will certainly attend others. Made somne wonderful new friends. Special thanks to Gene of Nakusp who took about 18 of us on a challenging trail ride. Some of the 15 who survived felt a real sense of accomplishment. Thanks to Grant, Susan, Ekke and Audrey and all the volunteers for a job well done!

Easy - it's always the last weekend before Labour Day! :)

See you there!

Great to hear people enjoyed it! :)

See you all there next year!

Photos - waiting for them to come in from the photographers, then they'll be posted here.

As like all the HU meetings we went, it was great!
We would (as always) like to thank everybody involved (volunteers, fellow presenters, Grant & Susan and Ekke & Audrey) and certainly to all you guys who took the effort to stay up to be there for our presentation late saturday evening. We were both really tired and I think most of you also from a couple of really interesting days but still you gave present, so thank you for that!

We didn't know what to expect from the surroundings, but we really enjoyed travelling around Nakusp and highway 3 is indeed very beautiful, we recommend it to anybody who will attend next year!

Thanks

Nobody goes thirsty... unless they want to.

Of course there are always fantastic presentations and demonstrations at every HUBB meeting.
