Thanks for this! We're definitely giving Toronto a miss, going down there would add a good 10 hours to the drive (we're going through Canada, not the states). We're on the fence about going through Ottawa or crossing the border up near Royn/Temiskaming which would take us way north of Sudbury. My childhood friend who lives in Ottawa just got back to me that he'll be out of town when where there, and I do know some people in Royn. But you do make a good point about enjoying the Canadian Shield while we can. We can't draw the trip out too much because the Mrs is flying with the baby and I don't want to leave her single parenting for too long. But we have left a couple days for sightseeing; Vancouver actually isn't our final destination, but I have family there so we'll stop in and spend a day with them.

Great idea, thanks!

Yes, I was thinking of that, I went a couple times back in high school. It'll mostly depend on if we hit Edmonton or Calgary, but I'm sure the kiddo would love it.

Ooh, thanks! I've only ever been through NW Ontario on a bus (and a brief Westjet milk run stop in Thunder Bay). Any particular areas you'd recommend, maybe for a night of camping within a day's drive of Winnipeg?

Daughter actually, but thanks for the suggestion!

Sync doesn't support posting on Lemmy yet? That's too bad. I'm using Infinity, which is the open source client I used for Reddit too. It's quite nice and posting works just fine!

What can we do to get more traffic over here?

Have him baptised. Don't let him take the supper until that is done; one of the things it does is issue a call to join the church for the non-baptised, so... It's working.

Forward, not backward. Upward, not forward, and ever twirling, twirling toward freedom!

Prepping a move is hard work, yo.

Also, major prayer request, our house hasn't sold yet and we're leaving in just over two weeks. We would be most thankful to have a buyer before we move.
