smclelan Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Get in that machine and get to work!! Enough picture taking, no wonder the signs are not up yet!! We are leaving Nova Scotia tomorrow around 4pm, Stephen, Dave and I. We will stop in Riverview and pick up Andyman and be in PALC about 9pm. I have no idea which way we will go Thursday morning yet. That decision will likely be made tomorrow night with the map spread out on the bed with a couple woobly pops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
