I'm doing the Vancouver Lake route and my wife is busy this and next week. I was planning on doing it between 18 and 23 December. I think it's safer to have a driver and observer so I'd like some company to either drive or observe. I have an older Volvo sedan or even older VW camper which is nice because you can keep you tripod extended in the passenger area. Both my wife and I are allergic to dogs and cats, so it would be nice if you don't have those or smoke either. I can send personal references if that is of concern to anyone. Michael Medina
