Doh! The other right - yes the shopping centre is to the left - unless you consider the legion a shopping centre.Hee Hee - bring your thinking caps - Did I mention I have a degree in Computer Science and math? The clues are simple but have an element of thinking involved.Cheers,Cameron

That was great! The picnic at the beach, followed by a code-busting treasure hunt (I think I have a future hacking into Swiss bank accounts :) ), and a beautiful drive on winding country backroads----all with a great bunch of smarties. The rain even held off until I was leaving----and I just caught my ferry home.I guess when the locals see their paper next Wednesday, they'll realize what they missed.Thanks again Cameron and Gerri.

We add our " THANKS" as well for a job well done by Cameron and Gerri ( and Gerri's mum for a fabulous cake...) sure wish we hadn't rushed for the ferry...( living on Gabriola island for 7 1/2 years made me paranoid about ferries...)Judy and Louis

Some more pictures - the remaining cake did not survive the evening!The winery was definately a case of seridipity - at first we were going to go by then I figured - ah what the heck - pull in - and then we we saw a shiny red cabrio - we knew that we were in the right place!So no worries on the rush to get the ferry - so goes life on the Islands.Here is a story for you - apparently the Brother in Law saw a smart being towed - wondered if it was one of us - nope!He caught up with the tow truck driver the next day - found out what the scoop was. Apparently the car wouldn't start - okay - not so strange - but the reason was - the lady that owns (I hope that it is her car anyways) the smart had decided the dash needed cleaning, and as we know nothing gets rid of dirt quicker than a good old blast with the hose! :o:o:o:o:o:o Yep she used the hose to clean the dash - not sure if she confused the smart with a Honda Element or what - but I definately would put that on the things not to do list.Sean - we need to get another toaster - I need to get it engraved this time so it doesn't wind up in someones kitchen! :lol: Cheers,Cameronps. Gerri wants to do a wine and cheese run in June - watch for details!Cheers,Cameronpost-375-1210655943_thumb.jpgpost-375-1210655976_thumb.jpgpost-375-1210656000_thumb.jpgpost-375-1210656046_thumb.jpgpost-375-1210656224_thumb.jpgpost-375-1210656695_thumb.jpg

LOL! She's probably a distant relative of Gent. :lookaround: I hope she didn't decide that the inside of her fuel tank must be dirty, too.

Hey now. Even my mom (who knows nothing about cars), would never do that!

Looks like a fun day! I could probably be convinced to join in a wine and cheese tour in June! :D

You Island people have all the fun! I am hoping to come over to Parksville/Qualicum area June 12 or 13 to 15th.Any plans in that area for that time frame? If so I can maybe convince hubby that I need to take my baby instead of my big MDX! :D

Hmm, maybe the weekend of the 14/15th of June could be the winery tour? Who is planning it?

Hmm - looks like the wine tour will be the 15th - watch for details - I will start a post - as soon as I figure out exactly what Gerri is going to try and shoehorn into the day - hopefully it is a smart day - small on the outside but plenty of room on the inside :lol: Cheers,Cameron
