Default Carrier

That was me and my son bringing the Carrier home from Nova Scotia to Ontario. Quite the adventure. Balmy weather to minus 4 without the windchill, then freezing rain, snowed in and so on !

I will be posting some photos soon and hopefully you folks can help me identify some parts and tell me what is obviously missing.

The interesting part of the trip coming home was from old timers coming up to us while fueling up. I have possibly another couple lined up for extraction in August!

Jim

Default Now thats a tracking system

Hi All

I really get a kick out of MLU, how many members do we have? With just a few well trained spotters they spot a vehicle on the move across the many miles of road in Canada. Then in under 18 hours they identify the owner and destination of the vehicles.

Cheers Phil

We would all make really good spies wouldn't we!

I guess really what is so much a part of this is that there are so few routes to travel on long distance on that the chances of being spotted are high.
