Hi Dave,
RH> I won't, probably good chance we'll never meet--unless we do the drive
RH> up to Nova Scotia with the camper some time.
SH> Then it's a short 8 or so hour drive here. ;)
RH> It's something we're thinking about. Back in fall of 2022 we did a New
RH> England/Canada cruise with Steve's family. Due to stormy weather the
DD> Easiest way yo get to Toronto from N.S. would be to drop back into the
DD> States and point west on I-90 to Buffalo, NY then tip it north to
DD> Toronto.
We have family in western NY so it would be an easy trip from there.
Another possibility would be in conjunction with our mission trips to
VT, but then, we usually stop in NY as part of those.
DD> I'd not want to do it pulling a cramper trailer. But, other than a few
DD> areas of urban sprawl it can be a pretty drive. And once in
We've towed on all kinds of roads so it wouldn't be a problem. As long
as the GPS is accurate and traffic is flowing well, cities are not a
problem. Last year we went thru Austin on a Saturday afternoon--lots
more traffic and construction than we'd anticipated but the GPS was
accurate and we got thru without incident.
DD> Canuckistan you can jump on the 401, one of Canada's nice East-West
DD> highways and
DD> zoom west until you get to to Windsor. Then drop back into USA and the
DD> Interstate system and keep on West until one of the daughters is near.
Depends on what other plans we have. This year there's no graduations or
weddings, other trips are spaced so that we're not going any further
west than Ohio. Have to plan the western trips well in advance since
we're usually gone about a month with them. Interesting, along the way,
shopping in different supermarkets--found a Lowe's out in New Mexico
that claimed no affiliation with the NC chain but did carry the same
house brands. Harmon's, just down the road from our daughter in UT, has
a good sized store that is very similar to Wegman's, maybe closer to
Publix or a big Harris Teeter but a fun store to shop in.
