Jeff you get a great big round of applause from me.
Quick calculation on Mapquest I figure about 750km from North Bay to Malone NY and back again another 750km. Round trip 1500km or 940 - 950 miles. Truly an EPIC RIDE !!!!!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Alrighty gents, the flag will end up in Missisauga when ??
Where does it head after that ?? Back over to the US ?? Timeline ??
As a famous man posted earlier in this thread, I/we in Western Canada don't want
to be wearing Carharts (or heavier stuff) when the flag finally gets here.......Ya know what I mean, Vern ?? ;) It is, after all, almost the end of July and crap weather CAN come early to the Prairies.
Any/all help with dates is greatly appreciated.

As soon as Jeff is back, will set up a hand-off and I will pick it up in North Bay. From there, I will transfer it to Rob in Keswick, or Barry in Owen Sound via Manitoulin Island, likely next week if they are available. Would like to keep the momentum going... B)

It looks like I'm the last link in the southern Ontario chain and still planning to get the flag to Port Huron in Michigan and hand off to Renthorin and/or bear1 . I have a passport so Will does not have to worry about entering the "badlands" :laugh: and I see there's a Tim Hortons in Port Huron.

The only concern I have is timing. The first weekend in August is out but the 2nd and 3rd weekends are ok and I might be able to sneak an afternoon in between. I'm really hoping I can make Port Huron on or before Sunday August 19th at very latest as after that I am gone until early September.

With the flag heading down into the USA for Leg 3, I don't think it will get to Western Canada this season, unless it's moving just about everyday.

Did someone mention Badlands?
