Default Anyone traveling between the Lower Mainland and Alberta (Calgary)?

Is anyone driving to the coast in the next few weeks or so? Passing through Calgary on the way back? Or is anyone on the coast travelling into the prairies in the next few weeks?

If so would it be possible to carry some t5 light reflectors for me? (Please and thank you)

Bump? (Have to ask... If the dude on craigslist can ask for a free laptop so he can look at porn without using his roommates laptop, I figure maybe I can ask if someone doesn't mind carrying a light for me from Vancouver to Calgary...)

Can I fold them up and stuff them into a saddle bag?

We're hopefully heading that way in a little over two weeks, but we'll be on our bikes.

I went to Banff a few weeks ago for the long weekend did some hiking there.
The Rockies are sure different from the coast mountains. I might be back this summer. If I come out I will let you know. It's a long drive though and the gas bill was almost $450 round trip.
What is with camping in Alberta $36 a night. thats with fire.
In BC it's $22-$25 at most and I always bring my own wood unless I am on the coast.

Think it will be more like $50-60 but the real issue is that the reflectors are long and skinny (60" long by 3" wide). GreenSpottedPuffer is having a heck of a time finding a box that that will fit this.

If it has to be shipped then it has to be shipped, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask if someone was going on vacation or something out that way and just save the dude the hassle of finding something to ship it in...

Kind of out of the way to suggest, but check a hardware store/drywall place. .. a drywall cornerbead box would be ideal. 8 foot long, and super tough box
