Canada here we come

Vicki and I have to say a big thank you to Robert Morrison for taking us out to dinner last night and driving us all around the sites today. Your company and banter were greatly appreciated.

I am happy to report that Robert and Vicki's trip to here has been relatively uneventful. The missed the snowstorms that are supposed to hit Alberta by mere days, and are now in sunny Manitoba. I picked them up at 0900 this AM, and took them through the museum workshop, the museum, and the dustbowl. After a quick stop at the Shilo inn, we finished with the tour of my meager collection, and they are now back in Brandon. Vicki was a trooper.....often after a few hours the wives seem to lag behind or get grumpy. Robert, you have yourself a keeper.



Best of luck and safe journey to both as they head on thru Ontario. Watch for those cows on stilts we call Moose.

Thank you for a great day out Rob and for taking the time to share with us.

After two days of driving we are now in Longlac for the night. We plan on three short drives next and spending three full days in the Hammond area to catch our breath.

Longlac is where I usually call it a night. I kind of thought that if you made Dryden the first night, Thunder Bay would not be a long enough drive.
However you are now in for a bit of a boring roadway for the next bunch of hours. That stretch is not particularly scenic. You will find a few military pieces (C1 howitzer, a M113A2, and an M109A4+) when you pass through Heard.

We are booked into Microtel Casselman arriving on Thu 3rd and leave Mon 7th Oct. Having trouble staying logged on at the moment will try contacting previous responders tomorrow.

We are in Cochrane tonight, then North Bay tomorrow night and Casselman Thursday night.
Bob and the barn crew and Terry we would like to meet as many as possible Fri, Sat, Sun.
We will need addresses for the GPS. Email is rpearce123 @ outlook.com without the spaces.
