Claybank Saskatchewan: Operation Mason Relic May 9, 2009

Someone should film this for Kill Haus so I can watch it

Been a few people asking how far away this is.

Basically:

Regina 1 hour
Moose Jaw 1/2 hour
Winnipeg 7 1/2 hours
Calgary 7 1/2 hours

Closest Airport - Regina (WestJet and AirCanada), I also believe BearSkin Airlines flies here for those who have access to them (North Ontario, Manitoba, Sask, Alberta).

From North Bay, Ontario it is about a 22 hour drive. I've done it several times not a bad trip if you have multiple drivers. Hardest Part is getting out of Ontario lol. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Nort...laybank+&2s=SK

From Toronto or SW Ontario regions you may want to look at cutting across the states via Windsor and comming up through the south via Manitoba or Southern Sask. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Toro...laybank+&2s=SK About a 26 hour drive.

From Vancouver it is approximately a 19 hour drive. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Vanc...laybank+&2s=SK

From Kelowna it is approximately a 15 hour drive. http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Kelo...laybank+&2s=SK

I don't think people will be wanting to cut through the states and come back through Canadian customs with a trunk full of airsoft guns

Touche, although they could always ship them ahead of time as the gas and time saved would probably be less then the shipping.

I'm more then willing to be a receiver for them.

I have two CQB's, and now access to this location at Claybank. This, as far as I'm concerned is just the beginning. I entered the Airsoft world a little over a year ago so there is a lot more to come, however, I just had a look at the BWIII location and videos, that looks pretty sweet...no?

I also have interest in coming to Ontario in the future and doing something there as well.

Brian, thank you, I did find that after I posted the question. That's a lot of people.

For out of town players looking to travel in for this game and wondering about hotel rooms instead of camping at the site, Moose Jaw is 1/2 hour from Claybank.

I talked to a customer of mine who owns a couple local hotels here in Moose Jaw, May is the beginning of Tourist Season in this area so hotel rates usually jump to over $100/night.

He said he will do $79 for a 2 bed room for anyone calling to make a reservation.
He has bought 2 hotels here in Moose Jaw, The DreamLand (closer to the highway) and the Capone's Hideaway (downtown across the street from the liquor store and beside a bar). All rooms have TV, Highspeed Internet and Fridges.

Just give him a call if you want to make reservations and tell him you were referred by Kip from GM to get the cheaper rate. Ask for Nick at 306-692-1878

Dreamland Motel: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Rev...katchewan.html - please note the one review is from about 4 months before he bought this hotel it changed owners 3 times in the past 2 years.

Capone's Hideaway: http://www.yellowpages.ca/bus/Saskat...e=Moose+Jaw+SK - he just bought this one a month ago.

Never was either.
