Rally Québec City 2022
The hosting team of Laura Ewing- Pearle, Adam Pearle, Ray Vela and two helpers, Natasha Czapszys and Greg Wilson had begun their plans to take the rally to Québec, Canada in 2019, but the pandemic had delayed the planning and execution of this rally for almost three years. In 2020 and 2021, efforts were made to keep the rally alive during Covid-19, but the rally in Canada in 2022 brought the Road Rally back to its origins, without the necessity to mask and the ability to book a rally house across international borders. Finally, some forty of us were able to scout the beautiful city of Québec, Canada, engage in interactions with merchants, and wander the beautiful sites of Montmorency Falls and the historic old town of Québec City. The rally was based on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which was particularly apt for this location.

The winning team was "Gimli, with Colin, Tatianna and Wayne Wolf, who barely even made it to Quebec. The team went through the old town and managed to get to Montmorency Falls ahead of everyone else. DFL went to "Aragorn," which came in dead last after a number of attempts to reclaim First Place from the year before.
