    ok so now that the package is able to get to Regina, Canada, perhaps it should take a trip to the US? go through North Dakota? @MTgirl how strong is your TW EXpress up that way? How far east can you folks get it?

    I'm just spitballing here. It seems like the frozen north has very few TW members compared to the US, especially ones in the center of the country.

    LOL! Not even close!

    ... but if it makes it to North Bay, and then south to Toronto, and east to Belleville...

    I know for a fact that citizens often break their shovels on the plow trucks that immediately bank snow at the end of their driveways once cleared. There is a shortage of shovels immediately following the first blasts of snow. To be a plow truck driver is a dangerous profession in that part of the world.

    They have also tried to sabotage the trucks...

    Like gravy soaked French fries will last that long o_O

    What I mean is smaller border crossings I’ve passed through seem a bit more relaxed. I grew up on the Canadian border and have family on both sides. If one were to gift something like truck parts- a hand written note stating the gift is to the person crossing the border has worked for me many years.

    I used to send water samples in foam coolers with ice pack via Purolator. I guess it is doable with cheese curds :rolleyes:

    Welcome! Say goodbye to your wallet. Monies will be spent on truck parts!


    Do you know anyone between Regina and where you live that can help with this TW Express? :D:D

    Participate in this TW Express! :bananadead:

    If this goes off without a hitch, I'll buy a batch of stickers and send one to everyone that helped.

    Hmmm... so far we are able to get the package to Regina from Vancouver. Can't find anyone to get from Regina towards Ottawa. Need to get it in the hands of either @Bocsy44 or @Kemosabe before they come to the states for a meetup.

    I'm also looking at going into the US as soon as possible and getting a chain going that way. More TW members here. Or in the states from Regina.

    That reminds me, @MTgirl do you have any established TW Express folks up by you?

    Oh that's not going to happen living in Los Angeles, lol. I was wondering about the generic one in the post @EatSleepTacos posted.
    I have my own TW express going down here. Gotta get parts to San Diego for a couple of members down there. Picking up on Saturday 2nd set of parts to go.

    I might look South from Vancouver to you west coast guys. I'm stuck in the middle of canada right now with this supposed route. It was suggested that, because of the numbers of US TacomaWorld members, we go into the states asap to complete this long TW Express.

    What's the furthest you have done an express?
