Western Canada….. finally
It’s my last day on the road. Last day traveling. By the time I reach Vancouver I will have driven at least 12,000 km. I’ve been very fortunate, thus far (still have to drive from Penticton to Vancouver today) with weather and nothing dramatic. Hope the trend continues for the day. I have seen SO…

Rocks and Trees and Trees and Rocks and … waterrrrr!
A Canadian group, The Arrogant Worms, coined my title. I borrowed it from their fun song, Rocks and Trees. It’s true, true, true! Northern Ontario fascinates me with its wilderness and its people. Today I searched for a truck stop for breakfast and was dubious when…

Sault Ste. Marie, Cirque, some memories…
I’ve lost count what day this is on my return road trip. Does it really matter? Tonight I sit in a motel in Nipigon, the same town where I stopped on the way east. This time I chose a better motel. Today I drove from Sault Ste. Marie (the “Soo”). The day was perfect. Dry…

Day two, three, four…
Since my last post, I have traveled to Montreal via bare trees, cold winds and then back to some fall colour. The ride into Montreal rolled me past the Museum where I saw…

Back On The Road…. Day One…
I’m back. On the road….. I left Prince Edward Island yesterday after…

Still on Prince Edward Island….
I am still in Prince Edward Island. PEI was my final destination East and I knew I’d spend awhile here. My mother and father needed a good lift so that’s what I’ve been doing. This time has been full of mixed emotions. Like some of the topography here, constant shifting dunes. I witness the parallels…

Road trip Out-takes… one
It’s hard to record everything that happens on a road trip. Especially if you’re blogging at the end of a long driving day. So. I thought some outtakes would be appropriate. These could last for awhile! Today’s published out-take happened in…

Day 15: Last day rolling to…. Confederation Bridge!
I’m here. I’m in Prince Edward Island. Holy moly. I did it. I arrived on the day I was hoping for. My birthday, August 21st. My goal was to reach my Dad and have a brandy toast. Well, it happened. We were ecstatic! And, have been talking and sharing stories non-stop. My last day on…

Day 14: Morning off, Montreal Traffic, le Cote Sud…
It’s amazing that in the 14 days I’ve been traveling I’ve only slept 3 nights, including tonight in Rivière-du-Loup, in a motel. I am blessed with beautiful, caring, generous, and loving friends. I’ve slept on the floor (on couch cushions), on a couple of couches, about 5 comfy beds and one….very hard one, tonight! I’m…

Day 12 into Day 13: Dawn, 5 lanes & back to the city…
Monday’s blog, Day 12, was written before the day was finito. Knowing I was intending on leaving before dawn yesterday morning (day 13), I packed up as much as I could before my friend Tom and I went off to Cambridge (not too far away) to meet our other friend, Dan. More hellos, hugs and…
