I'm planning to get rid of it pretty soon - I don't have a need for it anymore, and the way gas prices are going...

I'm definitely interested in going to fall castle. I'm in Mississauga.

yeah, if i can get a job... then i can get a car.... then i can go to Castle

So, we've got around 8 or so interested folks, good.

If we rented, we could get 2 full-size cars from Enterprise for about $70 each-4 people each comfortably, decent mileage and enough space to store all our crap. Alternately, if we can find someone with a station wagon and a pickup, we could swing it that way (I'd rather not rent those-through Enterprise, at least, it's $18-ish a day for a car, and $50-ish a day for vans, SUVs and trucks).

I might be able to beg off my grandparent's Crown Victoria-4 people comfortably, 5 if the people in the back don't mind getting cozy, and more junk in the trunk then Beyonce. Plus, decent mileage for a road yacht.

EDIT: Should I start a new thread on this? Fall Castle is still a ways off, and isn't really big enough for everybody to commit yet, but I do want to get the word out to any Canuck who wants in.

Are any of the Ontario Contingent Going to the Spring Castle? If so Maybe we can Meet up and play together. I will be attending with two other friends.

Speaking from experience, a van is more preferable than a big car. Much easier to put gear into. Personally, I usually take my case, gearbag AND small backpack for the hotel. The reasoning for all that stuff is because I don't wanna have to borrow someone else's gear if my single marker goes down. So I bring a whole bunch.

The alternative is renting 1 cargo-type van and everyone else carpooling. Toss all the gear in the van. Done.

That could work (renting a cargo van, then carpooling everyone else). Personally, I own a '79 Lincoln Continental, but it chugs gas like it's going out of style...huge trunk though. You could probably fit 4 bodies in there. Not worth it.

So right now we have 12 interested parties. Pretty good guys, Canada will be well represented. Sure start a thread, you can never be too early. The one thing I have thought about was a charter bus. Okay now that the laughing is over, I have a friend who I went to school with and his parents run a bus line, greyhound types. I am going to get in touch with him about this idea. Split up it might not be too bad if he can get me a discount.

I just found out that a bunch of the local scenario guys are looking into going as well. I'll create a new thread and point them here.
