Hi everyone,

This year it would be really great if a we had a few of the MR2 people out. We share the same engine platform so why not? :D

The Run of the Ogopogo meet this year will be August 5-7. Time to book your calendars and those days off from work if you can!

For those who haven't been before, the "Run of the Ogopogo" meet is held annually in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. I'm biased, but I think it is one of the best meets of the year and is a lot of fun. There will be an organized cruise, great photo ops, great meals, some fun activities (eg. go-karting!), and some prizes too. We try to spice it up every year to make it that much better too. The location is perfect for getting people from Washington, Vancouver, interior BC, and Alberta all together at once. Not to mention, the weather is almost always beautiful that time of year in the Okanagan valley. I hope you can make it! :)

Over the coming weeks I will post up additional information on the T-Shirts, accommodations, driving directions, and a "itinerary" which we almost always divert from once we are there! haha. All in the name of fun of course.

Post up your info if you're going to make it. I think we will definitely have a good turnout this year as always! Can't wait to see everyone again. :)

I might be in for this - perhaps without my MR2.
Will likely be in Vernon this week as my sister is due this week and I'd like to be down there. Might just show up to check out the cars, and most importantly your '94 GT-Four.

Damn. I'll be driving through there right at the time, but won't be in the MR2 because we're camping :(

Definitely would be nice if some of the MR2 guys could join in. At least just to check out our cars if in the area.

I haven't ruled this out. If I go, I'll be a last minute add.

Is there an itinerary?
