Section 3 - Part 1 - Thunder Bay to Dryden

The drive across to Dryden is now behind us, we dropped off Chip at the airport and headed west. We left Thunder Bay on 35, 236 miles and finished in Dryden on 35, 453 miles, a total of 217 miles. The drive was not as sunny as we have had before today and there was about an hour of heavy rain. I managed to lose Derek but we met up after an hour. We met some good people on the way across when we stopped at a service station. It was not Watford Gap and consisted of one pump and a small shop but the coffee was great. We ended up having to tell everyone in the shop what a 2CV was and that it was not an automatic. Everyone seemed to know someone in the UK. I met a couple who are touring Canada and were on there way back to Vancouver. Steve Elliott and Lucle Walker offered to play for us in Vancouver at what ever venue we want. As you never know if a band are any good he gave us two of there CDs. It fell on Derek to listen and approve Derek has given the OK. You can learn more about Elliot and Lucie at

During this segment we have crossed another time zone and saw a black bear on the main road.

A service station along the way, not exactly Watford Gap!
