Oct 13 Thanksgiving

All of the time that I traveled and tried to get an idea of the communities of others, I remained very aware of my own, the people who supported me and kept me going in so many ways. Most I tried to thank on the different pages of the website but I am not sure who ...

Doing the math

Anyone who knows me knows that ‘doing the math’ is not something I usually come to voluntarily but here I am so you have to know that It is not too complex. I was gone 149 days. Sitting here at my computer looking at my life I have to say it doesn’t...

Oct 6 Tax Dollars in action

I can’t say that I have driven across Canada yet but I have gone a good long way through BC, Yukon, the tip of the North West Territories, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. While I can’t even say that I covered most of those places extensively I feel...

Oct 5 Memories

I left Sault Ste. Marie in the pouring rain but half way to Sudbury I knew that the sun would come out. Seemed to me that the sun didn’t know it yet but at least I only needed the wipers on intermittent. Hwy 17 must have had some work done on it since...

Oct 4 Superior

Wow! Driving around Lake Superior is….well superior. I am loving it. The day has been a patch work of rain, cloud and sun. Perfect for driving. I think Karma loves saying continue 690 km. No turns. Just stay on hwy 17. I just love driving along, following the...

Just a quick up date.

I stayed with Lori in Winnepeg and loved her energy. Then I drove all day to meet Shawn in Thunderbay. The weather was drizzly but ok to drive in. Once I hit the Ontario border though, the speed limit hit 90 and MAN 7ookms is a long way at 90. I saw speeders stopped...

Oct 2 Quick update

Well it is official. I LOVE grasslands. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Airdrie where I could still see the mountains. It was great to see Carmen again and meet 4 of her 6 children. Isn’t it funny with old friends. We stepped in as if our conversation had just...

Sept 29 Airdrie Alberta

I heard geese flocking past my bedroom window this morning. I have seen them in their formations heading??? who knows where but it is a sure sign of fall. After making me an amazing breakfast Catherine suggested that we go for a hike in the Sheep River Provincial Park...

Sept. 28 Creston to Black Diamond

What a beautiful day to travel. I woke up early, had breakfast and hit the road. I had less distance to travel today but had to work in a time change that I forgot about and so it took me by surprise. The further east I get the more like fall it seems. The leaves are...

Sept 27 Leaving

I woke up early today to a crisp almost fall day with bright sunshine.  Rika had packed me a lunch that would probably last a week and both she and Marce were up to see me off. Vincent was in fine form prancing and ready to run. Me too although I had mixed feelings....
