Bryant and Myron did take off on Thursday afternoon with the truck and boat for San Carlos, Mexico. This afternoon I talked to him and they were near Great Falls, MT. They weren’t sure if they would drive through the night or pull over for a little more sleep tonight. They stopped the truck and slept in the boat (while it was on the trailer) for 1 hour on Friday night and 4 hours on Saturday night.
So far their biggest obstacle was the 10-30 mph zone, which lasted 11 hours, where they drove only 300 miles. This happened somewhere between Whitehorse, Yukon and Fort Nelson, British Columbia. They ended up on snowpacked washboard roads in that stretch. Even the guy sleeping in the big back seat had a hard time as they were jostled awake every 5 -10 minutes. On Saturday night, they had the luxury of getting lost in downtown Edmonton and had the pleasure of seeing what kind of nightlife is available to the local residents. Through the southern Canadian plains, they did run into some wind that blew the boat almost sideways, but apparently not sideways enough to stop them from moving on through Montana and onto Idaho.
Almost there guys, hang in there!
