|  |
Bilal remembers: "Saturday night before I went to bed I remember asking Andrew about his best part of the trip so far and undoubtedly for him it was the car race event .. for me it was the Sea Doo ride... well it worth every single penny... lots of thanks to Justin for making time for the Sunday evening second ride... It was indeed lots of fun... Julius had it all right when he commented " you cant knock that smile off your face can you ?" .. Second best part was the one time shot of Justin's 'Fireball Bacon frying pan event'... well the moment was captured at the right time... it was indeed lots of fun camping with all the people ...looking forward for more..."
Michelle recollects: "We were in the last car to arrive at the campsite, as all of us passengers fell asleep and Cordelia was left to fend for herself on the dark, slightly foggy back roads to Sauble Beach. We were awoken abruptly in Owen Sound to a very pretty fire works display. Bilal was given a couple of free fire crackers (which were later used at the campground).
On the navigation front, we should have turned at something called 'Owen Sound Street' way before we actually hit Owen Sound. Bilal, who was riding shotgun, kept telling Cordelia to 'gas it up' as he felt she was not driving to her full potential (it was very dark and misty out). Eventually our indefatigable group made it to the camp site, albeit the back way, at 5 to midnight. Signage and flashy lights had been left out to aid us in finding the site.
On Sunday, Simba was given the new handle of 'butterhead' after melted butter dripped on his head from the table while he was busy lapping up the butter off the grass.
Around the campfire, Julius told everyone some great jokes. Although sometimes they had to be ‘translated’...
That's all I can think of for now..."
Justin recalls: “I have great memories of the campfire discussions both Friday, and Saturday nights. We sure had some interesting life stories to share. I also had a great time staying up until 5am Saturday morning talking to Michelle and Bilal, and until 5:30am on Sunday with Michelle and Martin. It was really great to have an end of event dinner with Michelle, Bilal, Cordelia, and Simba to wind down and take a break from ‘volunteer duties.’ I then had fun on a jet ski ride Sunday evening when Bilal offered to take me out on Georgian Bay. When it was my turn to ride, I made sure to ‘Gas it up!’ Another unforgettable weekend. I really enjoy being a part of the TOC.”
