    Did you see what made the stain? Not defending these guys that ____ out of the open door but a stain in front of the door is a bit vague to send to a company. I've drained my cooler of melted ice water out of my door. That would make a suspicious looking puddle too. Is that against your rules too?. Now if you saw a guy standing there doing it by all means go to it. But if a puddle is all you see...

    I haven't thought much about running in Canada, but it does sound like a challenging adventure. I have thought about possibly trying to run Alaska someday. I imagine it's a similar deal.

    I thought the problem was he was parked across the lanes instead of in them! Then of course, so was the guy taking the picture.

    The shape of the puddle would suggest splash marks which would suggest a large quantity of liquid was dumped at one time. The liquid then traveled and pooled by the door. You can also see splash marks on the skirt.

    It’s funny...you will get a deliver and they will give you the name of the nearest town and then map coordinates, because the nearest place with a name is a hundred miles away. 100 miles away from the nearest stretch of asphalt. Sure enough, there will be a plant where they say it is.

    Some of the places are so far out that they will top off your fuel tanks at the plant just so you can get back. I can’t remember the name of the place...it’s in northern Quebec...they know you can’t make it up and back, so they top your tanks off free of charge.
