About a month ago, I went to a small town north of Toronto to attend a relative's funeral. There was a procession to the cemetery. I was deeply touched to see that everyone, from truckers, police who were not involved, and pedestrians (even those not waiting to cross the road) all stopped. It...

Thanks for the welcomes, everyone! This looks like an active, fun, and informative forum!

Hi GDM, I imagine there are a number of more exciting roads to take than I did. I took the 401, then turned off the highway at the first exit that pointed to Ottawa, which turned out to be highway 15. I took that to hwy 7 to the 417. I like to stop every hour & 1/2 to 2 hours, to at least have...
