It is closed both ways south of Merritt due to a hazardous goods fire, alternatives are highway 1 through the Fraser canyon or highway 3. It's Victoria day long weekend so there will be lineups.

What were you going to do with a 42' sail boat in Iowa? Just asking.

Planes, hotels and restaurant meals get old in a hurry. I knew people that made their living doing that but it was hard on them and their families. AIDS (Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrom) was common.

Yes. What do you need to know?

My dad was an air frame/hydraulics instructor with the RCAF during the war. He would drive five days before flying five minutes. When I asked why he replied " I am always afraid I would look out the window and see one of my former students on the ground crew. After some of the stunts those guys...

8) The camper definitely needs freshening up, I love that truck.

Because the superior minds at the FAA have decreed so. After all, they have to be seen doing something. ::) Maybe the reasoning is that an explosive device in the hold could not be manually activated but there are certainly ways around that.

I would try an inline neon spark tester available for cheap at most auto parts stores. Watch the bulb when the engine falters, if the color changes to yellow or quits the problem is ignition. If nothing happens it could be fuel delivery, possibly a control board or wiring problem that is...

X2 We made the mistake of going with a marginal tow vehicle, it was not a pleasant experience. Mileage was terrible, it struggled on the hills and windy days were terrible. We now have a 2500 with the diesel which may not be suitable for your needs but we love it. A four door with a fold down...

Nobody has been condescending and we have had immediate offers of assistance when needed. It has been the same...

We enjoyed 18 once we got clear of metro Portland, the Evergreen museum at McMinnville would be worth a visit if you are into that kind of thing. 26 would also be a good bet bringing you to Cannon Beach, it is spectacular. It would be a shame to miss part of the coast.

My wife came with four granddaughters, a fifth has since arrived. There better not be any greats yet, the oldest is fifteen. ;D

The English language is really something isn't it? ;D My buddy's son wanted to get his cdl but was really worried. He went through school in a period when they were not taught traditional spelling, apparently they had some new age system that used the sound of the word so your post would be lost...

DW locked herself out the vehicle and waited over an hour for roadside assistance. I later asked why she didn't use the hidden key, the look on her face was priceless. ;D We hid one after dumbdawg jumped on the door switch at a gas station.
