To all northern California. Oregon, and Washington Mini enthusiasts.

Time is now quickly approaching for Mini Meets West 2010 in Penticton British Columbia Canada. We have a route planned, hotels and ferries booked, even lunch & dinner stops. If you would like to join us for all or part of this adventure, please let us know. I can send you all the maps, schedules, links, etc. We will be leaving on June 23, meeting up in Eureka CA, and will spend the night in Brookings Oregon. We will have at least two classic Minis in our caravan. Then its a 200-250 mile per day drive hugging the rugged-twisty Pacific Ocean coast through Oregon, Washington, up the Olympic Peninsula and a ferry boat crossing from Port Angeles to Victoria BC Canada. Two nights there with a visit to Butchart's Garden, then a ferry to Vancouver and a drive to Pentiction for MMW 2010. Our return is open so we will go where ever the wind takes us. Hope you can make time to join us on this journey.

If you are planning on driving to MMW in Penticton BC Canada, please be sure to get an insurance certificate for Canada. I understand this is required for entry to Canada via car. I know that AAA, Hagerty, State Farm all offer these certificate cards free.

Here is the official Canadian Auto Insurance Information:

British Columbia - Driving in BC

U.S motorists should obtain a Canadian Non-resident Inter-provincial Motor Vehicle Liability Card from their insurer before travelling to Canada

Motor Vehicle Insurance
Ensure that you have proof of insurance while driving in Canada. US motorists should obtain a "Canadian Non-resident Inter-provincial Motor Vehicle Liability Card" (commonly known as a "Yellow Card" or "Canadian ID Card") from their insurer prior to travelling to Canada. This insurance card indicates that you are covered with the minimum legal insurance coverage throughout Canada if you are stopped by law enforcement officials or are involved in an accident in Canada.
If your insurance representative requires further information about this yellow card, they should contact:
