Cross-Canada trip

[NickST]

^^ Sounds like a blast!

That will leave Nova Scotia as the only province in Canada in which we have not raced.

3 territories too    Yukon is beautiful in the summer.  I don't think it's technically possible to drive to Iqaluit though.

Apparently there is a solo club in Yellowknife.

There are clubs that run autox in Yellowknife, NWT (NWT Motorsport Club) and in Whitehorse, YT (Klondike Kruisers).

LOL!  C'mon guys, how many of you can even say you have made it to all the provinces, let alone the territories?

I'm closer to all of the states than I am all of the provinces 

[MurrayPeterson]

I hear ya.  We are 6700 km into our trip, and haven't even reached the halfway point yet 

We are starting to worry about tire wear now, wondering if those RE71R's are going to get us all te way out and back.

I made it as far as Alberta when I left BC... I think drumheller is as far East as I've ever made it

I'm just missing the Atlantic provinces and Nunavut - at 31yrs old!  not bad

Nick, there's not a lot of anything but big sky between here and Winnipeg, Northern Ontario is a bit more interesting but full of bored police and low speed limits.

Made it to St. Johns today after a 16 hour ferry ride.
We aso lucked out and got reservations at Raymond's restaurant this evening (best restaurant in Canada, top 50 in the world).  Expensive, but oh goodness, it was incredible!  Worth every penny.

More touristy things tomorrow and then off to Bell Island for some more autox.  It's *good* being retired

A 16 hour ferry ride!  Holy smokes!

Is that normal, or was there an issue?

It's normal (and expensive).  North Sydney to Argentia; we left at 5:30 PM and arrived at 10 AM.  We paid for a cabin, but the boat motions kept me awake most of the night.  Even a boat that big got moved by the ocean swell, so it felt like trying to sleep in a car driving through a twisty road, complete with a bumpy paving job.

That's very exciting Murray! Congratulations for making it all the way to St. Johns. It must feel very fulfilling.

I don't blame you for having a hard time sleeping under those conditions. I would have a hard time sleeping in a boat under any conditions... because I would be on a boat!

Also ont thought that crossed my mind... Where do you sleep if you don't get a cabin?? Your car!?

It is kinda cool.  This is also the longest vacation I have ever taken in my life; it makes me feel like I should be going back to work

I hate boats and things boat-related.  No cruises for me when I get old

No idea.  You are not allowed onto the car decks when the ship is sailing, so sleeping in the car is impossible.

recliners on deck 6, I think
