So when is the next try? I'll have the 90 together this time ;)

BTW... what happened to the windshield?

The windshield was European spec tempered glass in front of the driver and safety glass had been installed on the passenger side. The driver’s window completely fell to pieces when struck by a rock 2 k before the pavement.The team removed the passenger window and installed it on the driver’s side while I watched and a suitable replacement for the passenger side was found much to everyone’s surprise from an old truck canopy, this was duct taped on. It lasted all the way home and I have now replaced them both.

Speaking to a contact up North, expect to see portions of this road upgraded to support a mine.

What they are referring to is the North Canol Highway that takes you to the trailhead of the Canol Heritage Trail.

Not the trail itself.

Several people expressed interest in purchasing a copy of the Canol DVD at Founder's Day. Thanks to help from Dave Blair, it's now posted in the Merchandise section.

Regards,
Pete

FYI... the feds are about to spend a shit load of money on a huge environmental inspection of the Canol road. Might be something to do with turning it into a park.
