Somebody should enlarge it and print it on a T-shirt.

Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1678 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 10:59 am:    Dave, I thought the video was pretty good even with the downsizing. Thanks for posting it. Dave Tegeler (Aeroengineman) New member Username: Aeroengineman Post Number: 21 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2003 - 10:18 am:    My son Steve degraded the video to get on here. On my player I have to run it once to get it loaded with the image frozen, then I push play again to see the motion.

I hope he'll add it to the video for the club Xmas party. It's quite spectacular to see the raging water in motion.

Notice how much if the road isn't there. We drove on the remaining shoulder - one lane after waiting 1/2 hour at 9 pm on the 19th. We got home at 2:30 AM.

Andrew H (Stokpro) Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 246 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 12:07 pm:    Glad you guys made it out safely. This weekend will make for an interesting story in Amici di Maranello. Did Dave shoot some video footage? Story of the SUV... http://snurl.com/2qes Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1674 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 11:28 am:    The last of our group drove out of Whistler this morning and safely crossed the repaired section. The road closed again at about 9AM. Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1673 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Monday, October 20, 2003 - 5:03 am:    Peter, I just got back. The road was repaired Sunday evening so FChatter, Dave Tegeler, and I drove down along with hundreds of other stranded visitors. It was dry so the road repair didn't get washed out. The drive through the twisties in the dark was fun. Sadly, there were fatalities up in Pemberton when an SUV tried to cross bridge but the driver couldn't see that it was already washed out. The towns up north of Whistler are basically underwater now.

That Highway is washed-out too? Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1672 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2003 - 2:16 pm:    Guess what? I'm posting this from Canada. We are stranded in the Westin Hotel here at Whistler. A few with urgent need to leave will be taking a float plane out of here today. I'm staying another night and probably take the next charter out if the roads cannot be repaired. Stay tuned. More stories to come. '75 308 GT4 (Peter) Advanced Member Username: Peter Post Number: 3172 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Sunday, October 19, 2003 - 1:40 am:    I hope you guys made it past some of the worst flooding, which washed-out many sections of the main highway due to the massive flooding. In fact, as of now, Whistler/Squamish are inaccessible. It hasn't been fun the last few days, I've had to work outside and I got soaked to the bone. Its been a bad year for weather here: if its not heat-waves and forest fires, its massive flooding! Good luck guys and I wish you a safe return home. Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1671 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 9:01 am:    I got two umbrellas with me. Albert Lim (Albertl) New member Username: Albertl Post Number: 18 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 8:56 am:    Don't forget the umbrella...;-) Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1670 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 8:54 am:    I'm taking the golf clubs with me anyway. You never know... Albert Lim (Albertl) New member Username: Albertl Post Number: 17 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 8:40 am:    The trip across the bridges with the high winds will start off the day right. Wonder if we'll see snow. Dave Tegeler (Aeroengineman) New member Username: Aeroengineman Post Number: 17 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 1:08 am:    I'll be meeting at North Gate theater - can't pass up a drive through the tunnels. Stan - we won't be playing golf! Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1669 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 12:11 am:    Latest weather check showed possible two inches of rainfall tomorrow in Vancouver. Not to mention the high wind we'll encounter along the way. Gonna be quite a weekend. Andrew H (Stokpro) Junior Member Username: Stokpro Post Number: 240 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 5:56 pm:    Wish I could make it... Take lots of pictures so I can see what I missed out on. Willis Huang (Willis360) Intermediate Member Username: Willis360 Post Number: 1668 Registered: 8-2001 Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - 5:15 pm:    This weekend, some of the Seattle FCA members will be heading north to Canada and join our Canadian Ferrari Club friends for a scenic trip through southwestern B.C.. It'll be a wet trip but should be a fun adventure. Pictures will be posted when I get back.
