Default Directions...

I pinched the following off the BB2 page, but I wonder if one of you gentlemen couldn't be a bit more specific regards coming from the GTA? Perhaps a Googlemaps link as well, complete with address?

Quote:
From the West:

Follow 417 through Ottawa. Continue on 417 towards Montreal.
Take Exit 96 at Carlsbad Springs or Exit 88 at Vars.

From the East:

Follow 417 West towards Ottawa .
Take Exit 79 at Limoges or Exit 88 at Vars.

From Exit 96 (Carlsbad Springs) proceed North to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and follow the route markers.

From Exit 88 (Vars) proceed North on 33 to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and follow the route markers

From Exit 79 (Limoges) proceed North on 37 to intersection of road 26. Turn right (East) on 26 and drive to the village of Cheney. As you approach Cheney, you will see a government surplus outlet on the left side of the road. Continue East at a reduced speed and look for an intersection (Drouin Road) located between a corner store/gas station and a restaurant (Chez Marie). Turn left (North) on Drouin and ...you get the picture.

See the following URL for a road map of the area: [http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/tra...eets/Map11.pdf) - zoom in on Vars/Limoges etc...

Default Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

Yes, you are close, only a bit NE of Bob's house. There are only two problems:
1. I doubt you'll get here in time for the weekend
2. if you can find us, we will probably be overrun by Torontonians.
Such is life.

1. He could, if he left NLT tomorrow (to allow for time differences and jet lag)!

2. Overrun?? You mean being edumcated by Torontonians...

Bob and Grant,

If recent history tells us anything, keep the Torontonians away from the BBQs! See: http://canadianpress.google.com/arti...iXXm8NH_LabbVA - note stuffed monkey in the hands of what passes for a burly he-man in TO...
