The closer we get to the date registered attendees will want to attend yet you may not have the means to get to and from the camping up Coquihalla Valley.
Here you can post whether you have a car or truck and are able to take on passenger. Make sure you indicate how much space you have for sleeping bags and other equipment passengers plan to bring and indicate what time you and where in Lower Mainland you plan to leave from.
As you are looking for a ride you can also make a post here as well. When being offered a ride please consider to offer the driver a reasonable token to cover gas, which we all appreciate!
There is also the option to take the Greyhound (http://greyhound.ca/) to Hope, which departs from several locations in the Vancouver area. Having used Greyhound last fall to get to hope it takes about 3 hours for a charge of about 30.00 one way. If you know your arrival time in Hope we can pick you up at the bus stop.
I may be looking for a ride to and from Campfur, though I will have this planned out in the weeks to come.
See you at Campfur!
I will need a ride, if anyone is attending camp fur from on Vancouver island, I will of course be contributing to gas and paying my own fare on the boat to Vancouver, if nobody from the island is planning to attend I can see what I can do about getting over to Vancouver on the ferry from Victoria and hop onboard with someone from there

luckily public transit does go to the ferry terminal. it will take awhile to get here from there but it is possible.
yeah and even worse, its the terminal over in delta!!! so far away!

you can spend $20 for vic transit, ferry, and the bus from delta, or spend $50 for a coach from vic to vanc incl ferry. wouldn't take much longer by transit.
or I could just walk onto the ferry?
Hey all ^_^ For those who are driving up from Vancouver or Burnaby Can I hop a ride. I has gas money to pitch in. Please let me know if you have room for me and my stuffs. Please and thanks. :) Might have found one already ;D
Glad you found a ride Sniffum.
In the process to visit Vancouver, you probably know how to get from Victoria to Vancouver and continue possibly to Hope Xanitos.
Possibly the only reason I wouldn't be to excited to do that is the bus cost there and back, it would be a pain in my ass
Hey I'd like a ride if anyone is offering one!
So we're heading down from 100 Mile, so I think we might be able to offer a ride to one or two peeps from Kamloops area if anyone is going, I'll have to work on my plans and make sure, but I figured I should post something now so there's time to make proper arrangements =)
hey me and honey need a ride up VERY IMPORTANAT please inbox me text me at 604 655 8786 pwease we would be much fun going up there keeping peoples enertained
I'm late to this thread, didn't know about it until today.. ???
I don't suppose it would be possible to catch a ride from Maple Ridge, Langley Colossus, Coquitlam, New Westminster, or the Abbotsford, Chilliwack or Hope Greyhound stations? I am limited to large rolling rectangles. I live in Maple Ridge, but I can get to any of the above locations if it means getting a ride to Campfur. I'm not sure how far I could lug my gear on public transit to rendezvous that wouldn't be abominably awkward, but I could muster something.

addendum I: I can pay my portion of gas for the duration of the trip, or I could gather the feed for your horse/llama/mule/donkey/burro.
addendum II: I live 3 blocks from Lougheed Highway, very near the hospital, in Maple Ridge, for anyone who might be driving East along Lougheed Highway. There is ample parking at the Rona hardware store, so I can meet you there with all my debris and artifacts. And there is a gas station right there, how handy is that?
regarding your comment ...

it might be an idea to mention what all it is that you would be bringing. no sense a volkswagon showing up when what you need is a truck.

A certain tiger (me) and his Cougar (Max) could use a ride to Campfur!

Tigerface.
EDIT: I fetched a generous ride offer with Kaeori. Thank you Kaeori!
Max it seems needs to get up there on Friday, if anyone sees this and happens to be doing the same, he has work until the afternoon then.
It appears that I will have a few spaces going up with me on wednesday(19th) night, leaving from new westminster between 5:30 and 6:00pm. PM me and I'll get back to you.
I also have 2 spots available (possibly 3 if someone's willing to squish or there's not too much luggage) , I'll be leaving on the 20th around noon-ish. PM me~
Someone should make a rides share for furs on a beach

We would really appreciate a lift, and can adjust what we bring (minimalists we are, too), provide some fossile fuel money, and best of all company.
Tigerface.
mmmm, i wonder how much improved the gas mileage would be with tigers in the gas tank???, proly not too good for the tiger themselves though :)
So it looks like I will be leaving for CampFur on Thursday, June 20th. The time is somewhat to be determined but you can easily estimate that it will be in the early afternoon.
I will be driving up in my truck (without the trailer) so I will have room for gear.
There will be myself and Clifford (real fur). That will mean that I will have room for 2 or 3 (max.)
I have had a few people express interest in coming with me but I have not held any space for ANYONE ... so if you still wish to ride with me, message me privately and I will put you down as a confirmed.
As far as the ride back, I will be leaving Sunday. Again, the time is to be determined. My rule of thumb is: if its raining, we pack up and leave after breakfast. If its nice out, we pack up and chill around the camp for a bit and leave in the afternoon.
Donations for fuel: I cannot stress this enough ... Donations for fuel are GRATEFULLY appreciate! Just to give you an idea of my expenses, while pulling the trailer, it costs me on average about $200 in fuel for the return trip. I am certainly not expecting that much in donations, but EVERYTHING will help defray me expenses.
Any more questions, let me know ...
Gizmo ...

Does anyone have room for me, two small/medium luggage's(looks like gym bags), a backpack, a tent, and sleeping-bags? I will help with the gas in anyways I can. Please PM me or reply.

GOT A RIDE
Change of plans, per roommates request. I will be leaving Thursday morning at 9:30 sharp. One seat left.
Ignore the first part of that, I am leaving on wednesday the 19th at 6pm. still one seat.
two (2) spaces ONE ONLY space available leaving on June 20, Friday afternoon as early as possible. room for anything you want to bring. contributions to the fuel fund required.
also i have spare tents but not sure of poles. with rope can be set up under a tree, and i have a tarp or two to cover. might be best used as a storage place for your stuff leaving room inside your sleeping tent.
to anyone else -- i have room to carry your stuff leaving more room in your car. yes, i have a truck.
contact me by PRIVATE message, not in the thread, or i will not reply.
As I will be stationed at the camp site almost the entire week, I will need a ride into Hope either Thursday or Friday and be in a coffee shop for a period of up to 2 hours.
Please reach out to me when you get to Campfur when you plan to do a trip to Hope. This would be awesome.
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
It seems Gizmo secured the camping spot he was looking for. He will provide you with the necessary information next week. Stay tuned and see you there!

You both
do know that the 20th is a
Thursday, right?
one seat leaving on Wednesday the 19th.
one seat available for Thursday afternoon. able to carry whatever you want. contact me by PRIVATE message
If someone needs a lift up (and I suppose back as well) let me know... I have room for 1 and a small amount of gear. However, I have 2 stipulations:
1) it costs me money to get there and back so something toward gas would be appreciated
2) please don't be insane... it's 1 1/2-2hrs drive and I enjoy what little is left of my sanity :P
Let me know by Wednesday as I plan to leave early Thursday
my 2nd passenger backed out. now i will be short for fuel so i am in need of a second passenger to make sure we get up and back.
for those going up, i can also carry all of your gear should room be needed in your ride.
I need a ride to campfur. A pickup around Lougheed station is preferred.
@Rainrat: talk to Tokar... he's short a passenger for the weekend
Hello there. I know this is super short notice, but if anyone has a free spot in their car from Metro Van up to Campfur, I'd be greatful. Of course I'd chip in for gas.
@terutt: If Tokar is full up now I have room for 1 person with some space for some gear. I plan to leave early Thursday though so not sure if that'll be too early for you. (like, before 10am early).
If you still need a ride let me know via a direct personal message before tomorrow please.
to everybody heading to CampFur. i have space to carry whatever you want to take. i have a truck and have lots of room. all i ask is that you get your stuff to Gizmos by wednesday night at 5pm close of business, or thursday noon at the utmost latest
I'm leaving on Thursday mid day and I have room for one passenger and gear, if packing light. I'm leaving from North Vancouver, and could possibly grab someone from the horseshoe bay ferry if anyone is going that route, or Squamish/West Van.
Thought I'd offer :) No big deal if I go by myself. It'll be myself and my dog, Jade, in my Ford Focus ST hatchback.
I'm hoping to leave on Thursday afternoon with the camper. I may be able to take one other person from our place here at Gizmo's. I understand that he is hoping to leave by noon provided everyone gets here on time. I'll be leaving sometime after 5pm. Though if you are coming with me, I would like a little help with the gas funds to get up there at least. Just message me here privately.
