Retro Rock-It spent the night under cover at Armidale...
At breakfast, OKA parked beside Retro Rock-It!
The local Lions Club put on the breakfast for everyone...
Ben dealing out the bad news in the morning driver briefing...
Ben doing his reimagined version of "The Thinker"...
Heading out onto the track... The first part of the track was open, but after that the rest of the day would be bitumen...
Damian was driving for the day, but Jason was feeling a little shy...
There was a bit of dirt in the morning session...
But there was also water in several of the causeways!
Splish splash!
And there ended the dirt for the day, and indeed, for esCarpade 2022!
Driving through the clouds...
The boys stopped at Dorrigo for a coffee and a comfort stop... and there was a frog in the toilet!
Back on the road, heading down Waterfall Way...
And what day on the 2022 esCarpade would be complete without roadworks!
Waterfall Way... wonder why it's called that?
Down closer to sea level, the sun came out...
Down the highway...
Through Macksville on the Old Pacific Motorway...
Before arriving at the Mystery Location - The Pub with No Beer at Taylors Arm!
After a delicious lunch, Ben again broke the bad news that the afternoon track was not happening, and all people would need to follow their GPS to the meet up location in Coffs Harbour ready for the parade into the Family Fun Day...
Retro Rock-It checking out!
And meeting up to wait for the parade into town...
Jason took this awesome panorama photo...
Parading...
And at the Family Fun Day!
The Camp Quality families were excited to see the esCarpadians!!
Damian found Kylie the puppet for a selfie!
Quick video of the shenanigans... while Damian was trying to get a video done, Ivan from Thor decided it was a great time to blast him with his super-soaker!
After throwing water at each other and greeting the families, it was time for the boys to find their motel and have a quick rest before the final night dinner...
The Camp Quality esCarpade for 2022 had come to an end... Well, the driving part of it! The last night party was still to come!
OMG how many pictures did you take Damien,phew that was one hell of a drive. But well worth it in the end.With some great fun at the end.Enjoy tonight's dinner party to the Max,and have a well earnt rest tonight As alway doing it for the kids.
2022 will be Damian's 11th Camp Quality esCarpade - after the disappointing cancellation of 2020 and postponement of 2021's event, and this year he will be joined by his brother Jason for his 2nd esCarpade - one decade since his first one! Retro Rock-It will be undertaking its 4th esCarpade with Damian, and the fundraising target is $25,000.
