Ray & Darryl's Excellent adventure - Rotary Car Rally for Food bank in Shelburne ON
Permalink  

While some of you were at  The Fleetwood Cruise or Barrie Flea Market 65Camino and I jumped in the LeMans and participated in my Rotary Club's Car Rally. I had the only vintage car. It was set up like an Amazing Race with envelopes and clues to each destination and activbity ending up at a member's farm near Mount Forrest for a BBQ. It was a lot of fun, the only draw back was it took 12 hours from start to return home. Darryl and I won a prize for Most Enthusiastic.

Here are some photos of our day....We met for breakfast near the Airport in Toronto.

Great diary of the day. Looks like it was a ton of fun. I thought your picture of Northern Dancer might come out of that Exotica building as you mentioned you were a little lost. Thanks for sharing.

There were three prizes given out, Most hopeless which was a foregone conclusion and went to another member of the club. 

Then there was Most Organized that went  to a member, his wife two children and their dog! They drove their Range Rover! Seems they completed every task, every bonus and every photo required. We won't mention that they are good friends with the owner of the farm and have been there dozen's of times!

We were awarded Most Enthusiastic, we did everything too except get a photo of sheep with a team member. We could have but we wrongly assumed we had it in the bag so we blew by the sheep on Grey Road 9 doing 75 MPH just before the farm.

Chris were were practically at your place I figure.

The important thing was it was a lot of fun plus we helped out the Food cupboard in Shelburne.smile

Great pictorial. Rally's are a lot of fun. Done a few myself. There's nothing better than spending a day with good friends, meeting new people, and getting to drive your favorite car.
