I wish I had the energy right now to type up a full report, but the only
reason I'm awake right now is the laundry I'm washing right now. We
probably won't hear from Jason & Norah until sometime tomorrow; they got
back to Toronto shortly after I got here and have a lot more to take
care of.
My brake rotors are packed with mud. I had a stick wedged between the
inside face of my rim and the caliper on my left front wheel. Had to
take the wheel off to remove it. This after removing a rather large
stick from somewhere in my right rim, plus plenty of mud, were was
causing quite the disconcerting shimmy out on I-90 at 75 MPH.

Hell, it was my first time, I don't consider myself an off-roader yet!
I'm going to need a chisel to get my chassis clean. That mud is pure
evil. Shoulda hosed it off when I had the chance at Jon's.

We just had burgers, dogs, and chips. Nothing outta the ordinary. That
QC was terrific. Ed definitely moved up in the world with that purchase
:)
All I'll say about Adam's antics on the ravine wall until I get the pix
online is this: vertical 4-wheel burnout.
The flag, the flag...after Adam's brush with the rock that punctured his
tire, Ed, Jason & Norah and Chris drove out (Ed had Jim & I in his
truck) out the way we all came in as we were running out of daylight
(7:00 in the woods, we used headlights). David and Jon stayed to help
Adam out (I hear they pulled out the Hi-Lift). We were all collected up
at the barn and heard some chatter on the radio. Then David came
rumbling up as Jon called in "you seen David?" A few minutes later, we
hear "here we come guys" and look out into the field. All we can see of
Adam's truck is that big red & white flag flying over the grapevines. I
think I got a picture of that as well. Looked like Canada was invading
on foot from our angle!
