Great news and keep up the report. Also change your avatar to reflect your new Escape.....

Welcome to the forum (see you joined in March but this your first post) and congrats on your 17b. Well if you've not been west before you'll find Ontario is very big, you've done one day but could take two more before you hit MB but I guess if you're going to Chilliwack in four days you're driving long days. By the way since you're from southern ON you must pass through MB just stopping for gas, food, maybe a night stay otherwise you have to self isolate for 14 days. Now we do have some nice campgrounds but you don't have the trailer yet

Stop by and camp in MB on the way back you won't have to self isolate coming from the west.

Did you see on the rallies that there's a Niagara Wine Escape? It's still on at least as far as things go now. We may not have any Americans attend though. It's very close to you.

There is 3 exemptions to the 14 days travelling to the western provinces is one

Nothing like leaving a place like Toronto, driving for a long, long day and still being in Ontario. Makes you realize how big the province is.

Enjoy the drive and try not to leave ETI after your orientation with your head spinning. The drive home with your shiny new Escape will be even better.

Fantastic! It’s been fun following along with your journey West. (We just got ours one week ago, delivered). Congratulations and have fun going home!

[Major]

Cool! The traffic was great ,except in Calgary ,where the trans Canada goes right thru the city ...no bypass ,iand some small towns in BC .A bit of construction for about 200 Kiilometers in Ontario and BC .Mostly bridge repair s ,and one flipped tractor trailer in BC �� missed the tornadoes in Saskatchewan too...

Congrats, nice truck as well. Looks like you have the lift on the 17.

Hi: Major... At this point Niagara Wine Escape is still a go. Modified to camping w/ no pot luck or beer/ wine exchange. Trailer tours only if folks are comfortable doing them!!! Campfires with "Social distancing" will be held at site 52 each evening. Bring a chair and mask if you feel the need for it. BTW nice looking combo!!! Alf

Does anyone else wonder why there is an Airstream parked there?

There is a bypass for the Trans-Canada through Calgary. Next time take Stony Trail north as you enter the City. Stony Trail is quite fast and will route you by freeway right around the north end of the City back to Trans-Canada again.

The guy in the airstream was helping his sister set up her New 17 escape ,the weight dist hitch for the suv was a pain to set up so they were there for a while

[Major]

Thanks Didn’t know that or remember I ,I was just following the gps ,sometimes it does dumb things.Just how it’s programmed I guess .Ill use the bypass on the way back for sure !
