    First of all Thanks to all you QBN canucks that posted nice things about our journey home on my last message.

    The journey is done. We arrived yesterday after 6 days of driving through Oregon > Idaho > Montana > North Dakota > Minnesota > Wisconsin > Michigan > Ontario.

    To say that was intense would be an understatement. I was driving in a 26 Haul towing a vehicle while my wife drove our two children in our other vehicle. We ate all of our meals on the side of the road, we didn't enter a single public washroom, i disinfected our hotel rooms before my wife and kids entered them. It was probably all over kill, although the amount of people not wearing masks in public spaces made me feel like it was probably worth while.

    Highlights included a seeing a sweet old man with a big white beard and an SS Tattoo on side of this neck and swastika on the other. And also cooking cheeseburgers for my family at 9:30 at night in the parking lot of the mariott hotel in Duluth Minnesota.

    We crossed the border yesterday and made it back to my home town and are now in quarantine until the 14th of september. Now i will just sit here and check all of our temperatures every 5 minutes until that day.

    Feels good to be back in the great white north. Can't wait to go dip my toes in Georgian Bay.
