You might want to watch the road conditions up there. 'La belle Province' does tend to get more snowy and colder than we do in Ontario. Watch out for the way those Francophones drive too. They do tend to drive much more aggresively. And by the way, "Parlez-vous Francais"?

I used to have some friends that lived in Montreal and I went up for a visit.
Needless to say I did not drive. Nova Scotia was also a fun one. My friend
did all the driving. When he was out this way I did the driving in Vancouver BC.
West vs East drivers. It's the people in Washington State that freak me out the
most. They have no clue how to merge into the freeways. They pull onto a 60MPH
roadway at 45 and think that they have done good. The work there way to the left
lane and go 5 under the speed with no cars in front of them.
And what ever you do don't give then more than 3 dray days or they forget how
to drive in the rain.

Good point Mike and also be aware that you can't make a right turn on a red either. They will tag you even without Quebec plates. Funny thing is the cops speak as good as or better english than us but won't know a word if they stop you LOL.

Good point about not being able to turn right on a red light Don. I should've remembered that since I was only just there during Christmas of 2011. At least in Montreal they do speak English, but in Quebec forget it. Not only that, but those kind of people look down upon non-French speakers big time. Those French Canadians have got to be the most narcissistic, self-entitled, obnoxious bunch of people I've ever encountered in my life.

Now I see how your racking up all those miles. Running all over the place delivering trailers. What kind of fifth wheel is that? I have a Curt 20K slider and it looks nothing like that deal you have there.

Nice setup, is that a toolbox in the back, right in front of where the tailgate would be? I didn't think you could do that, it's low enough it clears trailers no problem. Great idea, I guess you learn a few things running around that much. Where you headed next?
