Montreal

Can you see a Rover and a Boler?
Trapped in the alley by Construction workers. Eventually they left and I turned the Boler around by hand for an early exit Sunday.

















Taxi taking a break from Travel. She didn't need to be tied up. She doesn't go further than 50' from that Rover.







We got lost because I didn't write down the directions properly but eventually we found our friends house and got some rest. Tomorrow we head out again for Ontario briefly then off to the Maritimes. Couldn't handle much of the City life but it is intriguing for a short while. Thanks to John and Audrey for the use of the house. Shawn


Kerry prepping for an early departure.

Sturgeon Falls

We caught hell as soon as we pulled in to the campground cause our dog was on the beach (we were within 20'of the water and didn't see the sign behind the trees.
The next morning Taxi and I thought.... what the hell..... when we were invaded by a gaggle of DUCKS!....the sign says animals are forbidden from the beach area.
If we were sticking around that beach we would have to bring in some descrimination lawyers.




We arrived just outside of North Bay Ontario at a campground that was a bit possessed by summertime residents that didn't seem to care for over night visitors. It almost seemed like old farts that were a little bored saw some fresh meat in their little Villa. So stay away from the Rock Garden Campground in Sturgeon Falls....at least until some of the grouchy old Bastards quick taking up residence there. (example: throwing the ball for Taxi in a park like setting...grouchy fart walks by and Taxi sniffs his little dogs nose before going back to playing ball. Grouchy fart says Taxi has to be on a leash. I said "I will put Taxi back on her leash as soon as we are done playing ball." He gets huffy and says " we will see about that!" Grouchy storms off toward the office.....Never saw him again but I am sure he did a bit of fumming since I didn't obey his command.
Now we did meet a family that is very nice. We sat around their campfire and got aquainted. We enjoyed the beer, hotdogs and the company, so thanks to them for turning a rather annoying arrival into a nice evening.check out the search engine they operate http://www.iconxs.com/index.html They have a new way of running searches.....who knows maybe it is the next Google.

Wawa, Ontario

Indian word for goose - and they have some pretty big ones on display here in Wawa! Picture may follow but we are too lazy tonight.
It's been a good trip. Relief from the hotter than Hades temperatures of the last few days (that had us wilting by noon time). Today we drove largely along Lake Superior which provided us with some much needed and greatly appreciated fog. We also pinned a towel over the back window to keep Taxi a bit cooler.
Saw my first black bear today and got so excited that I fumbled with the camera until the bear got tired of posing on the side of the road and retired into the wilderness. Better luck next time!
Tomorrow should get us at least to Sudbury but we are in no rush really. Just need to be back for a night shift on the 7th. Meanwhile it's just nice to have no specific Agenda other than slowly heading east. Life is good, eh!

Atikokan

Traveled from Yorkton SK to just beyond Winnipeg yesterday. The heat was a killer and still is today. We didn't have any troubles after I got some tire work done on the Boler. Today we are in Atikokan Ontario... an old iron ore mining town that is struggling to keep alive since mining was shut down in 1980. We will continue down highway 11 Tomorrow.

Jinxed Tire

An hour or two before this tire was shreaded I was thinking..."can't believe that tire made it this far." Jinxed it I guess.

Yorkton This Evening

The switch in Calgary



































A '49 Ford with 4wd and a diesel.
(basically the body was set on an old dodge Ram and the wheel base even worked)














I have forgotten the year of this Plymouth..... already, but this was a sweet ride and pulled a cool Boler.








They gave out a few awards......guess which one we recieved.

















Left macklin early this fine Sunday morning. Traveled through farm country which is always a treat for me. The unfortunate part is we found all of rough roads in Saskatchewan. Flivver didn't mind the rough roads but the Bolers axle seemed to sag a bit more from the beating. I may swap the axle in Winnipeg if I find the one I want. We stopped In Yorkton for the night. All three of us are hot and miserable. We have a good campsite with wireless and showers just across the way. I reckon we'll find a new tire tomorrow and head on in to Manitoba. Shawn
