Hate to shine any light in dark places.... BUT...... CANADA... is full of
diesels... TDI's...Benz's... Nissan PU's... Dodge's... Golf's (tons of
these)... also we have a coast to coast  filling station system for... YOU
ready?..... Propane....That's right.... had it for at least 10 years or more
now... Don't get me wrong... I don't expect anyone to learn anything from
this... (;^)... Yes I'm back... 6k km of travel to Fla. and I didn't even
catch one fish, surf fishing.... I didn't get one of those cheap T-shirts
either...I've really got to do something about the over abundance of quality
in my life... Trip report up next...
