July, 2002 We had been planning to enter the World Rogaine Championships in Czech in July 2002. But after looking at the airfares we decided that the North American Rogaine Championship would be good as well. Also, it was a good excuse to revisit Beautiful BC and to catch up with some friends that I have not seen for a long time. Chances are that this rogaine was twice as hard as the World's, though that's not to say the competition will not be stiff.
Special thanks to Joost and Kathy who convinently won themselves a new car and were able to let us take "Yella" for a drive around the countryside.

The Lion Mountains form two prominent peaks on the skylinenorth of Vancouver. Here are the Gila Monsters and the Jumping Chollas ready toembark on the North American Rogaine Championships.
