Finally Got It Home!
Well, it was an adventure my son will remember long after I'm gone LOL! We departed Woodstock, Ontario on the first Sunday morning of Spring Break. A cool but uneventful drive to East Chester, Nova Scotia.
After scrounging as many parts and pieces as we could, and got the Carrier loaded on the Trailer, Tuesday things started to get interesting. First, we had an issues with the front passenger window. Went down perfectly. Up..... well, not so much! (Did I tell you I hate anything electrically operated) So we came up with an improved window for the 1950 km ride home.

The Trip Continues
We ran into some real CRAP WINTER weather heading back up through New Brunswick. This ended up allowing for a 24 hour layover in Woodstock, NB until the roads were acceptable.
People really came out of the woodwork to check it out at fuel and food stops. I have to say the 'Coaster's' are a really great bunch and very hospitable. Looking forward to a return trip during better weather.

And Meanwhile, Back at the Barn
Here is the Carrier and a couple pallets of parts. I guess the 'Scrounging begins in earnest!

Last one for now
Perhaps the coolest part of the whole ordeal was when we were cleaning the interior floor up a bit. My son was in the front gunners compartment and found an old .303 British blank cartridge which was fired.
