Cross Canada tour under way
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2014 1:53 am
Just a short note. We've been on the road from Vancouver since July 23 in a mixed camping/family & friends visiting/moteling trip across our majestic country (man, Canada is huge!) Currently in Ottawa. I'll try to post some of our interesting stops when I can.
It's been a fun drive with an ever changing landscape (we took the northern route from Edmonton to Kenora, so the prairiesdidn't get boring) in a variety of weather conditions. Last night we were slowed down by intense lightening storms on highway 17 south of Pembroke. The L400 has behaved beautifully, except that at our last diesel stop I noticed a badly worn front left tire. She had been pulling to the right, so I'm guessing alignment problems (hopefully not worse). We'll be in Montreal in a couple of days where I'd like to do an oil change, buy 2 new front tires and have the alignment checked. Any suggestions where I could find a Delica friendly mechanic there would be welcome.
