So true Morris. My area also has 2 old landfills that has been capped so who knows what is buried in that. Not to mention the port handles alot of stuff as well.

Cool! Do you have a map location? I would love to visit this on my drive through Canada. Probably interesting site.

Hello David and Don, congratulations your new to you 67 F100! Let us know what route you are taking on your way home. It would be a good idea to have the brakes, steering components cooling and ignition system closely looked. I`d use regular oil with a zinc additive. That`s one of my favorite yrs of Ford trucks.
Hopefully those chemical weapons have been properly looked after Shaun, not cool to hear of anyone glowing in the dark.
Bummer on the home opener loss Grant, 5 C weather is a little on the cool side.
Davi


Thanks so much! Yah Its had its work done but its also 50 years old - going to need a bit of luck forsure. Also I will let you guys know if we start glowing yellow from visiting that site or if the truck starts miraculously getting 2000 mpg - Im up for any other recommendations on pretty/interesting places to stop.

Thanks!

Old landfills are scary Shaun, no one really knows what`s in them.

I`m in the Saskatoon area, looks like your most direct route is mainly through the USA, unfortunately you`ll miss my area completely. Use google maps for a direct route.
Hopefully you`ll get decent mileage tho not likely anything near 2,000 mpg.

Some days you`re golden and some days you`re not John, hopefully it`s only a minor set back.

Some days your the pigeon and some days your the statue John.
bought a pool table, cues, rack, triangle and rake at the auction last night, I only needed the cues and rake, got stroked for $6.04 for it, sold the table to the guy that works at Billy's corner store for $50. My life gets rough some days Lol.

So true Perry.
Wonder what the guy sold the pool table for after he bought it from you? It may have changed a few hands before it ever left the auction house.
