Just under 24,000 kms
3 time zones

18 states
Up to at least 7500 feet elevation

By far and away the longest trip I’ve ever been on.

You're close enough to home to go check the mail? Elmira correct?

I believe Brent gets home on the 18th. You could always take a few days off and go collect that lathe cabinet.

I’m gonna grab the mail here soon, yessir. I’ll probably try to work this week and take the weekend off, and yes a trip to Brent’s house would be a good idea.

Maybe if I time it right Brent’s wife will have a home cooked meal ready just as I show up ;)
 
hahaha!

Just got a new stove so it might work out! Hopefully some stuff left on the shelves. Travel home tomorrow will be interesting.

Your trip has been quite amazing Dave - Are you isolated in your truck for 14 days? - Seems like you have been for quite a few days on the road!

Let me know if you are stopping by and I will have the boys on hand to load you! - Should have a motor for you too ;)

I will for sure give you a heads up, before swinging by!
I’m heading to Indiana tomorrow with a load.

Safe travels to you tomorrow!!

Hey David,

That was an amazing adventure. Thanks for letting me ride shotgun.

That really wasn’t a question....
Sure! If you want to follow along again, that’ll be fun

Where should I go for the weekend? Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton? Lake Louise? I’ve been through Banff and Jasper before, what’s the drive like between Lake Louise and Jasper?

Lake Louise - Jasper is amazing but steep and winding. Isn't that a little out of the way for hitting Edmonton?

As for hwy 1 in the park. We had better check. Seems to me they are doing some major work. A 3 year project or something to that effect.

I could drive to Edmonton, park the big horse, steal a car, and play tourist. Or head to Red Deer/Calgary and do the same.

I should invite myself over to @CalgaryPT place to see the RC lawnmower in person! :D
