Well we have visited Ottawa Ontario and today we drove through a bit of Montreal Canada. Al Sinner drove us into the National Air Museum in Ottawa and it was a very fine museum indeed. Al drove as cool as a cucumber while Audrey, Gary and Judy gave conflicting directions and offered irrelevant commentary on everything that caught our attention. Continue reading Urban Canada:

Ontario on the Fly
We always thought Montana was a big state to cross. It takes a three hard days of driving to do it. We just finished six hard days of driving to cross Ontario Canada and we have another day to go. Our average drive has been 240 miles. Yes, I know, I have said that we didn’t want to go that fast.

The Blue Hole:
We have escaped from rainy Oregon. There was some concern that the alley behind our daughter’s place might be muddy from all of the rain and we might get stuck. We had no problems at all. We extracted the trailer with Neil’s jeep, however. The trailer made the jeep squat, but the front tires stayed on the ground and we only had to move it about a hundred feet.
