Road Trip

[Barry Churcher]

What a wonderful trip David. I hope some day to get up and visit Gordon but I will probably have to do it by scheduled airline. Just to illustrate to non Canadians I have figured some distances as the crow flies:
Europeans- it is the distance from Amsterdam to Ankara Turkey and back

Australians- further than from Melbourne to Alice Srings and then to Townsville and then to Sydney

Americans- Seattle to Atlanta and then to Buffalo and then to Houston

Also Dave didn't explain that part of the trip is by boat. If you don't get there in time in the fall you have to wait till the ice freezes on the lakes and take the ice road. In the spring the road is closed till the ice is gone and in the fall it is closed until the ice is hard enough to drive on. Gordon truly is at the end of the line.
Cheers,
Barry
