Canada BS Thread

this should be the boring argument thread.

 

Bring in something you wanna talk about like moving to sunny BC

 

June 13th weekend, tentatively.

 

Why has my sig pic disappeared?

 

Where abouts ?

 

Sorry we aren't as exciting as you over there in NS.

 

Staying at my buddy's place in Sooke until I sort out employment and such.

 

haha Where did you get that pic of me?!

 

Are you driving across the country?

 

Driving across a country, won't be Canada though.

 

Great spot in the summer

 

Ah. Scenic trip or just don't want to do the whole drive across the empty prairie?

 

So I hear. Doesn't really lower the stress level of moving 6000kms without a solid life plan. haha

Prairies are fine. Straight, flat divided highway with 110km/h limit. It's the 25 hours in Ontario (especially the northern half) that I am avoiding.

 

Yeah. Can't argue with that.

 

My brother coined it as "Onterrible". Slow, hilly, twisty old highway with no civilization or cell service and super expensive gas when you finally see a station. I can see why so many rich folks have kickass cottages up there because it is so private and relaxing....just not a fun drive. ha

 

Yeah, when I last did it we went across the Michigan "panhandle" and then up through Lake of the Woods. That trip was pretty fun.

 

I haven't 100% decided yet which way I will take this time. Either NB right into Maine and under the Great Lakes or Canada until Sault St Marie, Ontario then split between Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. I just want to avoid the 401 and northern Ontario. My route will probably be a game-day decision based on gas prices and exchange rates at the time.

Speaking of travel @OZ-T, would you re-enter Canada and take the Tsawassen-Swartz Bay ferry or stay US and take the Anacortes-Sydney ferry?

 

Good luck.

 

Tsawassen - Swartz

 

Shorter? Cheaper? Faster?
