There were a few, Daytona Beach is probably the picture you're talking about!? I went on the dunes in Oregon, the dunes near Province Town and a small beach on the Florida Pan Handle as well.

Lots of pictures, a short explanation...

We walked across PEI and in the process ran across the kei truck. The Westafalia was a very enthusiastic couple from Quebec who both flashed the peace symbol while over taking us on an uphill (not a proud moment for me).

Well, I'm touring around Newfoundland now. The picture of me reaching out the window is due to the fact that one of the bolts holding the thule box to the rack came off while driving to the ferries. I'm held the box down for 15 minutes as we completed the drive and then used a zap strap to secure it. since we arrived on Sunday and today is a holiday I've yet to find a hardware store that's open and we're in a National Park now so chances are it will remain like this for a while. :-D

Thanks!

I don't have a ton of time for the route back unfortunately but it looks like I do have a bit of leeway so I'd definitely be interested in meeting up. I should be in the Toronto area on the 10th of 11th of September and will be around for a couple days.

Well, a trip to L'Ans Aux Meadows today proved to be even more exciting than just that. We saw an awesome expedition vehicle, lots of Moose and found the best photo op spot for the Delica since I bought her!

I've had some bakeapple jam and will be getting some wine soon. Unfortunately we've been told that we probably missed the icebergs by a couple months.

Travel with girls and they'll introduce you to more girls! But seriously, having lots of friends who are girls will get you places, they're also a lot cleaner and a lot more enjoyable company. :-D

Thanks Wayne!

The plan is actually to pick one up in Abotsford on the way home and make this a clean $20,000 trip. :-D
