2024 Run #3- To Harrison Hot Springs- Wednesday, 15th October

The last scheduled Car Club Run of 2024 took place on Wednesday October 16th. Following cancellations of the Run the previous two Wednesdays as the result of forecasted miserable weather, it was decided to throw caution out the window and go for it. With the forecast predicting a break in the weather and a rain free period in the late afternoon, the Run start was moved to 2:30 pm at UFV in Chilliwack and then meeting up with folks in Abbotsford at Lepps on Highway 11 at 3:00 pm. Following a pit stop here, the Run progressed to Mission and then along Highway 7 to Agassiz. A total of 5 cars took part in the Run, which started off over the Mission Bridge somewhat slowly, with intrepid drivers monitoring their engine temperatures as we were caught up in construction and rush hour traffic. After going through Mission however the Run along Highway was pleasant in the late afternoon sunshine. The convoy of cars stopped in Agassiz for a quick beverage and supper at the Sossy’s Saloon where drivers and passengers were serenaded by a rather proficient piano player. The Run back to Chilliwack started at twilight and ended up in the dark. Those members travelling back to Abbotsford were also subjected to a cloud burst as rain caught up to them as they went down the freeway and North Parallel Road. All in all, a fine adventure and fitting end to the last scheduled Run of the year.
