It sounds to me more like he had the misfortune to get stuck with a control freak on a power trip. Well, they can't *all* be stationed at airports frisking Boy Scouts and grandmas in wheelchairs, and trying to confiscate Medals of Honor...

Man oh man I can't believe we missed each other by less than 100 feet!!!!

If you had of hollered or honked your horn while at that cabin, I would have heard you.... I can easily hear the folks when they are in from my campsite.

I 'really' wasn't expecting anyone and was in too much pain to go wheel around over to the other camp areas for a visit like I normally do or everyone else in there would have know where I was too. I did turn the CB on 16 and gave a holler now and then, but....

But how could that be? I thought the billion dollar Canadian gun registry was supposed to get guns out of the hands of criminals. (sarcasm off)

Towards the end I have some photos of the WJ getting the oil/filter changed after the trip. I did not bother with jackstands, I just used a convenient retaining wall in my driveway.

The synthetic blend oil on the white rag off the drain plug has 2744 miles on it. It does not oxidize and breakdown like straight dino oil.

I did see fresh BFG tracks so I suspected you were nearby. I did honk several times in series of three, perhaps you were relaxing at the time.

I also had that French radio station playing on the car radio and I had a campfire in the stone ring all evening.

Of course the woods are so think we could have missed each other by 10 feet.

For sake of clarity, crossing at Sarnia/Port Huron looks out-of-the-way but is actually very close in time and milage as crossing at the Ambassodor Bridge in Detroit.

I've also found the Tunnel to be a breeze... I've passed through on several occasions with just a nod.

Any return trips will certainly NOT be via De-troit.

Perhaps my feelings are a reflection of my small town mid-western values.

No one living in here Hooterville would act in such a manner and no employer or Village Official would tolerate it.

I mentioned that I had been to LA and NYC and did not expect to ever return. I have also been to Miami and Chicago and treatment was similar.

Perhaps the residents in those cities look down upon Midwesterners for our quaint and polite manners.

Perhaps they dislike us because we can properly pronounce common words.

Perhaps it is because people from the center of the country all speak the same language and have basically similar (but also slightly varied) accents which we refer to as having NO accent.

Perhaps it is because graduates of our public schools actually know how to read and write.

Perhaps it is because Midwesterners recognize that peoples are diverse and don't care what holidays you celebrate as long as you don't try to deny our beliefs. After a while we will incorporate your celebrations into our lives as well. Isn't that the true measure of diversity?

Note: politically incorrect comment ahead.... Perhaps it is because our lives are not dominated and controlled by the unions, organized crime or other branches of the Demoncratic Party.

In the central bulk of America's states we still believe in God, the basic concepts of right and wrong, and the golden rule.

Are things perfect here? No, but most of the citizens have goals that are aimed in the same direction.
