Left ATL about 12.30pm to start KARMA Travel.Stopped to visit friends in NC,and decided to stay all day the next day instead of just the night.What's the hurry? I'm glad I took the time. Left Sunday 8/17 up Shenna.ndoah Valley with a load full of Counting Crows. What a beautiful drive and the woodie is humming right along.I Bruce Spingsteen'd my way through the Poconos and Allman Brother'd my way into MA and NH.I put in 16 hours of comfortable driving before pulling into a truck stop for my first night in the teardrop.It slept very nicely.I awoke rested at 5:45 and headed north for Nova Scotia(NS).A red 1950 Plymouth woodie surely starts conversations and I'm enjoying promoting the Shepherd Center Foundation. I've passed out at least 12-15 business cards so the story starts.I have discovered that Canada is technologically unfriendly.My Verizon Broadband card will not work and my Cingular cell is $3.99/month signup plus a "discounted" $.59/minute from "normai" $.79.So it appears that communication will be less frequent the next 7-14 days.Hopefully I will find a local internet connection near my surfer buddy, Foster Folsom,in NS. I'm hunting and pecking on a picnic table in Houlton,ME just before crossing into Canada.More later.Your's with the waves. Ralph

Ralph, old chap! how you doin? is the ac workin all right on that bucket of bolts? So you got some waves up there in the northern country huh?, is it cold or what......leavin you in desperate need of a warm warm shower, shot of bourbon or something more leggy! Hey, you need to get a good book for the trip; lucky for you I have the perfect one in mind...."All for a few perfect waves": author David Rensin, I think? anyway a book that I am really enjoying and one that I think you will too. So have you been following the news? we got ourselves a tropical mess, so far no waves and I am afraid we will get skunked, but on the up side! we will get close to 30 inches of rain.....hooray rain!
Have fun, surf, and keep the dialogue loose and open.... remember, those yankees can be stubborn and bias to a man coming from the south!
