A CANNY GOOD READ!

The expedition started at 7am when I said my goodbyes to parents, brother and sister and proceeded to hit the open road. The Red Hawk (myself) was riding low with the mass load it was carrying, but all the gear I wanted to take was crammed, jammed and strategically packed in.
I was to meet the Gunner at the Big Stop Irving just across the Quebec Border however due to being a tad tardy he would not be there before I. This lead was not to last long as the Dessert Strom (Brian) was breaking all land speed records and rapidly approaching.

The cars were gassed up and Quebec was looming – crazy drivers were very close. Traveling in convoy Dessert Storm led the way followed by the Hawk. The plan was to drive a steady economical speed, however once on the highway and up to speed we were battling for position with Quebecois residents. Once the brian entered the fast lane there was no looking back. Montreal took us about an hour to get through. As Brian had all the directions to our pit stop I had to keep him within distance…I lost him. After some evasive maneuvering I once again re-located the Gunner.

The intrepid travellers.

We are staying the night at Brian’s relatives house just outside of Ottawa (about 30 minutes).

Tomorrow the plan is to hit the road by 7am (6ET) and then we shall probably snag some breakfast and a couple of coffees once on the road. Our destination tomorrow is Hearst, which is located in Northern Ontario.
