Board Float Trip - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'll be there, unless something very strange happens. Heck you never know yesterday I was told I was going to Afganistan, but then the same afternoon my vacation was cancelled - Praise God!!!

My family and I will return to the states in June. Desiree and I should have the Burb and the RV by then. Sounds like a great trip. I will be more than happy to do the grilling and cooking. Don't much care for the water(long story).

Sounds like a blast.

For some pics of my truck.

I would love to come out there for that float trip especially to see all of those 67-72's sitting everywhere. The drive from winnipeg manitoba canada to there would take me roughly 18 hours of driving though and that is quite a bit. I think the longest that I have driven it is about 2 hours straight It has brand new motor and tranny and I am sure it would make it. But then I would have to somehow get work off and college. Make sure there are lots of pictures taken so that everyone who can't make it will be able to see what we are missing.

nroden · 02-28-2002, 06:53 AM

I'd love to be able to go but I don't see how I can. I have a job next summer and have another vacation to goon tomy sister's in Springfield for a week (taking my 72 down there by myself). Thats a long drive for me by myself and I doubt my parents would let me go considering I will just be getting my lisense in March (7th).... truck should be finished my May (??? Hopefully)
