ONE MORE SLEEP and I
turn into a Plain Monkey as the passenger for the (Inter)National Ural
Rally. As the significant other of Frank, the driver, right out of the gate our
shiny green Patrol accumulates 50
points. Last year, we ran out of gas, but were excited to know that we’d earned
50 points. This year, our intention is to garner The
Full Pucker at 100 points, meaning that we’ll run on reserve until
we run the tank dry. Talk about throwing caution to the wind because Frank is a
meticulous military type and wouldn’t ordinarily allow something so predictable
to happen.
Our adventure roars to a start in Campbell River, BC, with
friends on a Gear-Up, and a pickup point in Courtenay to gather more friends
and their Gear-Up. We drive to our ferry connection from Vancouver Island to
the Denman Island community.
The Unexpected Adventure Bonus could be ours
considering that on the Islands you only have to wait five minutes for the
weather to change. I’m thrilled at the opportunity to pull on my ‘Ural Hoodie”.
It would be great to earn an extra point per kilometre for the time it’s
raining.
Wish us luck. We look forward to hearing your story.
