Winter Romp

Thanks, bring Jerry cans

OK, well since I'm only about 30 miles from the border going south around the Adirondacks is the long way around. Were as going up through Canada is nearly 160 miles shorter, hence 1 tank of petrol less both ways. Plus, I like driving in Canada just because my RHD rover stands out. I may bring my 3-wheeler and the 109-trailer behind me so I can carry extra stuff. Well see my clutch keeps needing bled after I get hard freezes. So I may have to take things apart that weekend. Thanks for the advice though.

Went Romping with the guys yesterday, and had some good times. Trails were pretty tame due to the lack of snow, or maybe it was because the Rovers are so nimble. I enjoyed meeting a few from the board, and I am sure I saw many more, but I didn't go around asking what people's screen names were. Wish I was heading back up today, but the wife has other plans for me.

I learned a few new things about my rover too. Apparently I have a series II bulkhead on my IIA. Not a big deal, but it is all part of piecing the heritage of my rig together. Thanks to Mike from Portland for being the rivet counter for noticing this! After seeing his stunning 109, I think I have a little work to do on mine! One guy referred to Mike's rig as "pure p0rn" what a complement from one rover owner to another!

Also a big thanks to Jeff Aronson for being a great enthusiast. I am looking forward to seeing his write up in the next RoversNorth News!

Happy and safe rovering to all who venture out today!

I rolled back into mystic about 3 hours ago afters stopping in gardiner to do some ice fishing, and kittery to admire the trading post and barbour outlets. 109 took the trip like a champ, not one cough or splutter. Thanks to all who helped organize and put on winter romp 2010!
