What I learned/observed

That this rally was attended by a GREAT bunch of people

That Canada does have some geese of their own - they are not all in America,

That Canadians are a very patient group of people. They have to be you have some fantastic twisties but the speed limit is low and there are minimal passing zones. Also have stop signs every 500 feet in town

That Canadians like to bowl, they have these sign along the roadways SEE Below They also have signs showing a car speeding up an incline about to jump over farm equipment, such thrill seekers.

All the signs are in French (I think) but almost everyone speaks/understands English.

You have telephone booths, with phones.

That everyone at the rally was GREAT.

That trying to determine how much a gal of gas cost is a waste of energy, you need it so just buy it (if you can read the instructions).

A group that knows how to laugh and have a good time.

Motel that was chosen was perfect for our needs and owners where very supportive of us.

Was encouraged to see that when somebody needed help there was no lack of bodies to lend a hand.

Need stronger pants pockets to carrry 1 and 2 dollar coins, but you don't have to carry any pennies.

Super group of attendees, have I mentioned that?

Looking forward to the next one.
Trevor

Yes Trevor, and we have signs that nobody knows what they are for with just a big question mark on it.

Here's what I learned, keep your motel room door locked or you may find a stranger in your bed.
