    That does look like a handy program.

    I suppose the weather would be kind of iffy there this time of year too?

    its really the time of year that the weather should be ok---with no major storms--but this crazy year who knows
    snow removal is generally pretty good thru most of it--but some areas are worse than others for some reason

    Well I'll leave trusting for a wonderful trip

    When I get back I hope to land a job with a neighbor who has four trucks. He runs between Calgary and Nogales. Or Calgary and Calexico. That would bring me close to a place where I get my prospecting equipment Then I'll reretire in about six months and go prospecting full time.

    do you get that way quite a bit??
    i loved running both 11 and 17-more so 17--sometimes tourists can be a pain in the butt--but most of my driving was nights and am then sleep--gta to edmonton and back--sure miss it

    i have never found it too bad in winter--nasty but not parkable--what i dont like is when there is an accident and you are stuck in the line up waiting for an hour or two
    i can remember when i first starting driving in 98 --pretty much used to run 11 as fast as we could handle it--but the last few years since they have been really enforcing speeds --its much nicer ride at 60/65--unless you get stuck behind a manitoulin truck and down 50 mph

    Yes the RED EXPRESS do not move too fast and as they are growing in size going to be more on the road.
