Patrick and I are headed off to Montana in Flivver(  )on Thursday. We hope to be there by the 4th and we will be pulling the Boler for accomadations. I have started a blog if anyone wishes to follow along. http://rusticrover.blogspot.com/ Half way through Patrick will fly from Calgary-Home and Kerry will fly into Calgary from BC for the road trip home. We hope to make a Bolerama on the Saskatchewan-Alberta border and then back through Canada. Shawn |

Thanks John and Todd. We return the Canadian route and we will post updates as often as possible. Hott as hell in Montana. The mountains are the coolest area. That is where we are headed for the weekend. Major beautiful trails up there. Patrick stayed there with mortocycles and cold creeks and some family while I ran some errands for everybody In Great Falls. Cheers Shawn PS Flivver is running freaking great....Knock on wood( my center Console ) |

Shawn... if you are coming back the Canada way and your travels bring you near London, Ontario, give me a hollar fiver one niner, five two oh, two eight eight two. Or if heaven forbid you need any help while in Ontario. Been reading your blog with interest (you passed within 10 miles of my door on the way from Niagra Falls to the Border (assuming 401 route of course.) Glad to see Flivver is behaving (wish my truck would....  ) |

In Calgary now and swapping co-pilots. Kerry flew in from Port Hardy BC to travel back home with me and Patrick flies home to catch up on the mowing and summer mischief. The trip here with Patrick was freakin' great and unforgettable. Tomorrow Kerry, Taxi and I begin our return trip(all Canada) in Flivver with the Boler in tow. Our first stop is the Prarie Egg Gathering In Macklin Saskatchewan. Shawn

Sitting in Yorkton SK this evening. Updating the Blog and checking emails on the tailgate of Flivver. The Heat is brutal. I could go for some of that rain you guys are getting in the Maritimes.
Rotated tires and tweeked the allignment a bit at the Prarie egg Gathering. I also borrowed a grease gun and slapped some more grease on things. We won the award for traveling the farthest. Cheers Shawn
