We crossed the bridge into Canada and
found it interesting that they were not interested in looking in our
Van or our trailer, I guess we look beyond suspicion.
The drive through Canada on the
Trans-Canada highway (Rt 17) is really not on a highway. It is for
the most part a two way traffic road with top speeds of 100 k/h
(62 mph), however everyone drives at least 120 k/h so we just went with
it. You go through many small towns and frankly you really don't
feel like you are in another country at all, everyone speaks English
and the signs are first in English second in French.
We crossed back into the USA in
Ogdensburgh the bridge is at least a mile long and all steel,
including the deck...this would not be fun on a motorcycle.
We arrived at John and Kathy's about
7:30PM, it was great to see our old friends, we sat on their huge
porch, relived some old times and had a refreshment (or few).
They live in farm country and in the
morning we watched the deer eat the farmers corn. John doesn't hunt,
but every time I visit, I think that I should visit him in the fall.
We again hit the road about 7:30 AM,
with only 150 miles to cover to get home, piece of cake. We stopped
and said hey to my parents on the way through Moriah and then headed
home.
We arrived home around 12N, it was a
nice sight to see. We had a fabulous trip but it is always nice to
arrive where you call home. Our house sitters, Liz and John had the
place squeaky clean and left us stocked with food, and spirits.
I
sure hope they don't expect the same treatment when we visit them in
Florida... :-).
John and Kathy have a great "campground". We only get to see them once a year so it is always heartwarming. All in all a wonderful trip but....home sweet home!
