Day 1 - Vipers Road Trip

Hey there Viper fans! It’s Aaron, John, and Mike checking in on our first night on the road. We just got to the hotel in Powell River after a long day of travel. The day started off with a 7 am departure from the Wesbild Centre. On our bus ride to Vancouver, we saw our first snow of the season up here. Once in Vancouver, we hopped on our first ferry from Horseshoe Bay Terminal to the Sunshine Coast. This ferry ride was very interesting for the rookies. The rookies were split into two teams (Americans vs Canadians) and we had to compete in a scavenger hunt that was put together by the veterans. Each team had to try and get all 10 items on the list. Some of these items were more embarrassing than others, such as a few pictures with random passengers on the ferry. Both teams ended up getting all ten items so it went to a joke off to see who won the competition. The Americans proved to be the funnier of the rookies as they won the joke off and the overall competition. After a short drive we boarded our next ferry. This ride was not as eventful but it provided some beautiful scenery. We landed ashore just outside of Powell River. We then had our final leg of the trip which was a short thirty minute bus ride to Powell River Towns Centre Hotel. Once we got here we grabbed some dinner and many of us headed over to Safeway to grab some candy and snacks for the week. We’d also like to note that Malcolm ‘Styles’ Lyles was in hibernation for all 11 hours of the trip. Were now just hanging out in the Hotel, getting some down time with the boys as we prepare for a big game tomorrow night against Powell River. Hope all you readers got some good insight on our first day and we’ll be checking back in tomorrow. Farewell from the Baby Blue line!
