From home, Almonte, ON
Back home in Almonte Wednesday evening around 8 pm. Uneventful drive through the Spring scenery of upstate Pennsylvania, the Finger Lakes regin of New York, crossing the boarder at Thousand Islands then into Almonte. No problems encountered at the boarder crossing and we did not get inspected or asked to pay any fees - yahoo ! Our home was found intact and well care for thanks to our good friends Bruce & Cathy who looked after things while we were gone. Thanks a million ! Sleeping in our own "real" bed after four months in our rolling bread box was good. Then came the reality that we are back, our adventure over and digging through the mounds of mail, unpacking the Westy, reorganizing our home, Rita's job at the Almonte General Hospital and getting my business back on track became our major focus. We are making headway on those projects. Hopefully you all enjoyed reading about our adventures as much as we did having them. If we play our cards right we may be off again next winter on another adventure !
Trip stats:
20,252 km total trip distance
$2,300 CAD gasoline
Repair & service:
Replace coolant level sensor
Repair rear exhaust header crack
Replace distributor cab, rotor and spark plugs
Two oil & filter changes
Hasta luego mes amigos !
