For NW Region Members

[Netnorske]

I have been in discussions with Rickyboy about doing a combined 2012 Rally with the Western Canadian Region. They would like to host the rally, most likely somewhere between Banff and Calgary, Alberta....possibly in the Kananaskis area just west of Calgary.

While your first thought may be that seems like the North Pole....it is only 975 miles from Rawlins, Wyoming and about 915 from Klamath Falls, OR...the furthest reaches of our NW Region. Most everyone could reach it in two long days ride, or three short ones....nearly the same as Crescent City.

Attendance would require acquiring a Passport if you don't already have one, but you have a year to get it if you need one. They are good for ten years and you should have one anyways, regardless if you would plan to attend or not.

I would appreciate feedback from the NW members if they would support the idea and plan to attend. I can assure you the scenery up that way is spectacular and well worth the effort to make the run.

This would be the first KawaNOW Rally in Western Canada and it would be awesome for the NW group to support them. Many of the Western Canadian members attended the NW Regional Rally in Kalispell in 2010 as well as the Redwoods Rally in Crescent City in August 2011. Together we could have a nice showing and a great rally.

Let me know what you think either in this thread or via a PM, but I do appreciate your feedback as we hope to make firm plans in the very near future to secure sufficient lodging for the group.
