After a hardy hike it was time to join together for a fabulous lunch at the Westcoast Wilderness Lodge near Egmont, BC, where all the tables along the windows were reserved for us. The view was spectacular. |

A memento of the tour given out was a 2007 calendar with pictures of all the people and their cars. The cover photo was this one of Marge and her late husband Bill, to whom the calendars were dedicated. |
