The smitty’s on westside has been torn down for the GMC dealership being built. Check to see if the new location next to the old Canadian Tire is open

Could do... Timmies is the home of my most favouritest happy meal! Xtra large dark roast DD and a Farmers Wrap with bacon and extra egg, mmmmm. 8)


But the ‘Dub also puts on a decent basic breakfast too.


Here’s hoping there’s plans to get another Smittys-built.....
I know, I can hear the groaners from here.  ;)

Closed, wow that sucks, I'm going to change it to meeting at the A&W, Timmies tends to be busy all the time, I don't think we'll find room for more than 4 or 5 jeeps if we meet there at 8/9am on a saturday.  Kind of puts a damper on breakfest but the A&W Classic Breakfast has never disappointed...

Either way due to the room and time we'll be meeting before 930 at the A&W in the west of Cochrane:
23 Westside Dr, Cochrane, AB T4C 1M1 (There's a lot of room in the back here)
Planning to leave at 930.

Breakfast, at A&W, bring your Tims with you(?) or try A&W if you haven't already.

In the future, I really hope that the "Mountain Ridge Plaza" is the deep west of Cochrane gets a gas station or something, it would be the perfect place to stage...

I usually stop at the newer shell station at the top of the hill coming from hwy 1. They have a tims there and decent washrooms.

Now I’m torn... Tim’s Happy meal or use the a&w coupon I have for a $5.99 breakfast combo?  :-\


Apparently I’m coming more for the food than the fun...  8)

Ya, and your Jeep was small too! ;) 
I heard you had issues.
Something about your drivers seatbelt not holding the child car seat in place?
