TeamD Adventures

Found some time to post a couple of snippets on the TeamD Youtube account. No editing at all — just raw footage from the camera because Windows Movie Maker crashes every time I try to use it.

The Alcan Rally stopped in Burns Lake, British Columbia today and TeamD rally competitors Marinus and Renee Damm bought lunch for all rally competitors and staff at the New Leaf Cafe. The cafe owner Nathan is an old friend of Marinus’ and how could we pass through without stopping to visit.

It would be easy to say that any free lunch is a good lunch but our host Marinus is only the starting point of the story. I might guess it was filtered and chilled, showing attention to every detail.

The other sandwiches were equally well received. Roast beef, salmon with artichoke heart, and vegetarian options were all receiving raves.

Someday you will find yourself in Burns Lake, perhaps on the way to the Alaska Ferry in Prince Rupert, to ski in Smithers, or just to take a little drive.
