Driving in Canada

[Asher]

They're less busy because anyone stupid enough to go out then is freezing his balls off.

Only the ***** ****ing Americans.

Seriously, I was out in the mountains yesterday and most of the tourists were Russians. Real men.

And it's not cold if you dress for the weather. Cold climates are trivially easy to dress for. Just add layers.

I hear it was so bad they even brought a 19th century steam train out of a museum to run a few routes because the modern electric trains had stopped working.

Nope, a 21st century steam train that was built by a charity and is now a successful commercial venture continued to run in the snow and helped rescue stranded passengers. It's a peppercorn A1, and tbh looking at the price of it I think they should make more of them...

You want us to plan for you??? At least give us the month you are available and some idea of your interests. How else will we know if the Saskatoon Deer Sausage Festival is for you ??

Febuary? March? I don't really want to go anywhere touristy for more than a couple of days at a time, but all I really want to see are the Rockies, everything else I'm definitly open to.

We have a Deer Sausage Festival?

Later should be better. Better chances of avoiding a deep freeze once into March.

If you decide that you want to visit Edmonton, a good plan may be to take the train Vancouver-Edmonton. I checked, and they have coach fares for people under 25 of ~$180. The trip is a little less than 24 hours, and offers a unique view of the mountains.

If you want to stick around Edmonton for a day or two, I could volunteer to show you around. I also have a spare room if you need a place to crash.

Don't do it Krill. Not unless you want to end up buried in his basement.

[notyoueither]

I haven't buried a visitor for a long time.

[Guynemer]

Yes, yes, you now burn them, we're aware. Very creepy.

[notyoueither]

Only if the broiler overheats.

Meat is expensive.

[Krill]

Thanks NYE

Unfortunately, I'm a little stringy, so the broiler might not be necessary

[Krill]

Bump.

Got 3 weeks off in September, maybe more. Anything decent to do at that time of the year, over in the Rockies area?

[Asher]

I'll be living in the Rockies at that time, but unfortunately doing me is not an option.

[Krill]

Nor would it be "decent".

[Asher]

It is most definitely indecent.

[Krill]

It is most definitely indecent.

Thinking of selling a film over the net? Could give a copy to BK for his birthday.
