Coming into North Bay tonight
 
Hey Dave, the Icefields Parkway (highway 93) between Jasper and Lake Louise is a beautiful drive but no fun in a big rig. It will be espeçially nice this time of year with the trees just starting to bud. My favorite motorcycle road in Alberta.

Nice!! Maybe I’ll aim to do that Sunday
Anything else in Calgary to see? Or Red Deer?
 
If you want to park your rig in a secure area near Red Deer, I'm 35 min east and have lots of room in the yard (1/4 mile off the pavement) for a rig to park.
We might be able to find a beer, shower & a spare bed for you if you like.
 
Post lots of pictures please, even if it's not very interesting We didn't get to see what that part of Ont looks like last trip.

Truck AND trailer? That’s important to clarify....
Is there a place to rent a car near you?
I’ll send you a PM
 
Thanks!!!! Exactly what I imagined the shield to be like. It's all interesting to me. Keep them coming.

Looks like a nice day.

On the road now heading to where? How many pieces of rusty pipe?

Looks exactly as it did 6 years ago when I still lived in Ontario. A bit swampy with only one park that was named informally "taste of BC" - for pp that could not afford the real thing.

Four pieces of rusty pipe. We made Hearst, ON. No real rush and the next place to stop is 150-200 miles away.

*points generally west

We heading west we’ll probably hit Alberta Saturday
 
Hey David,

You might want to avoid stopping in Calgary. It's the COVID hot spot of Alberta. Calgary area businesses that were supposed to reopen today have been ordered to stand down for another 10 days by Alberta Health Services.

So much for getting a hair cut today Blaaaa…..

How about posting a picture of that load of pipe you're hauling?

Lots of room for both( 3.5 acres of yard), and it hard packed if your loaded, I'v had super B's in here for grain & have parked hundreds of time in here with loaded end dumps...in on one approach and circle the garden and out the other approach...wont even have to use reverse in & out. You could even snuggle up to the shop if something comes up that needs worked on to ruin your site-seeing weekend...had that happen before...

Closest car rental is in R.D. but I think we can get you there and back easily enough.
 
Here is covid-19 for Calgary:
"Kenney said both cities will move into a staggered reopening. Starting Thursday, retail businesses, farmers’ markets, museums and art galleries will be allowed to reopen consistent with the rest of the province.

However, hair salons, cafes, restaurants and bars won’t be allowed to open at 50 per cent capacity until May 25. The remainder of Stage 1 openings, including day camps, summer school, post-secondary institutions and places of worship, will be allowed to reopen June 1 in Calgary and Brooks."
