If I ever need one painted...I will call FF and see if he will do it. Have a nice trip out of it too!
What a tour it would be ifin you fella's were able to git together and do an old car tour...I have thought about doing such a tour....take all the people you have met through car site's and make a cross country's tour.....If me ship ever come's in a little bit I is going to do a cross Canada tour and then back accross the USA....Would take me three or four month's at least... ......You are more than welcome to come here as there is room here...My place is not anything fanncy and is well used but it lets me do my thing...
If you ever do that, take the south route through Osoyoos. I can't imagine how they built that highway! You spiral down one side of the town, some 6,000 feet and back up, without ever losing site of the town's lights for another 6,000 feet! Now that Calgary is all screwed up with arm-toting gangs, I shudder at going through there. I owned a factory there in the 1980's, and it was just rednecked cowboys, now its a freakin' warzone! Too much money and ego. Pretty, crowded and nutz. I've gone coast-to-coast 5 times. Different highways 3 times. What a trip! My only ALWAYS stop is just east of Estevan, Sask. There's an ESSO truck stop there, run by a family for generations, kind of log cabin style, with the best pies anywhere. Better than the truck stop on Blackfoot trail. The best steaks in the country are at the Alberta Ranchmen's Hotel near Cache Creek, BC! (go figure!). And the PEI Church Bazaars during summertime. All you can eat Altantic lobster or crab for $5.00. The nicest sunsets are on the Yellowhead (highway 16, coming back) 300 miles of sunset during late July to Early August. Sunrises too, going East. Southern Sask and central MB, are oceans of grain, 10 ft high sunflower fields and Canola flowers. To the horizon. Hard driving, its 5 days from PG to Toronto. Easy driving 8 days. Add another 4 easy days to Nova Scotia. Take the South shore of the Saint Lawrence and cross on the 4 car ferry from Bangor, Maine to Cornwallis, NS. Takes you through some of the prettiest farm land in New Brunswick, after you see Quebec City (like being in Old French Paris), and the checkerboard farms in Nova Scotia. Really awesome. And!!! For a treat and all the Amethyst you can carry, there's a cliff on the east side of Nova Scotia, called Lookout Point, Windsor County is farm land, so you turn North East near the town of Windsor, and climb the hills. The whole cliff is Amethyst! Big chunks. Don't wait too long before the Government screws it up too bad. So I could pitch a tent and visit ya, huh? Hope to do that within a year or so.
Norm ya know you is invited for sure...and ya not need a tent.....got old car out back....we got's room in house.....but if ya want to tent I gots lots of room.....
