return to canada

Loaded out of oxnard, out of the docks,(i had to be escorted to the loading bays by a docker as i was not a us citizen , and escorted out again at a cost of 80 dollars, what a con), a load of bananas for safeways, edmonton, alberta, we drove up to santa clarita,barstow,baker las vegas,salt lake, idaho falls, crossing at sweetgrass and into lethbridge where we dropped the trailer for a city driver to take to edmonton, a journey of 1670 miles in 2 days, what a drive, we team drove the truck to get the load in on time this ment i drove while the other driver slept and visa versa. The scenery was stunning and the weather was sunny and hot all the way, im starting to turn brown.The hardest thing is relying on other people to help as i have nowhere to leave my belongings, steve is driving his car around with my suit case in his boot, and i have a few things in a night bag, martin has lent me his sleeping bag and i am staying at a drivers house. to save hotel bills.tomorrow i will find out if i am going to vancouver as i have to be shown how to drive over this mountanous road,i will let you know how i get on. I wanted to post some pictures but i have left the leads in my suit case.

  1. Sounds amazing! Hope you get yourself sorted out soon with your stuff. Its bound to be a bit difficult when you are starting a new venture. It will settle down soon no doubt. Mum sends her love, and I do, take care xx
