Sweet setup. Just the opposite of mine, my Jeep makes the Dakota look like a Toy. Nice monument, someone didn't do their homework on the exhaust though. |

John: I am off work till June 15th, so I thought I would take a drive. Have an excellent border story for Jam. Tony and Bill: 8.7 MPG into a huge headwind from Saint John to Old Orchard Beach.  Observations after 1000km of towing: The airbags we put in are wonderful things. Really calmed the ride down. WAY less sway and whatnot. The Cummins literally pulls the camper and the trailer with what seems to be very little effort. The Yanks LOVE the diesels. Kids in the campgrounds want to know if the Jeep is remote controlled. Bud Light Lime is the nectar of the gods. Like lemon flavoured water with a kick. IF you drink 17. LMAO Silly Americans. |

Might want to look into a 90-degree fitting for that cb cable. Bill It is on the list. Also: Got up bright and early, donned my tye dye tshirt and headed for the beach   Staying in the tracks left by the tractor that grooms the beach. Treading lightly. ;D  Driving on the beach is an excellent way to meet heavily armed people in blue. That's them in the distance.  Bird walking. Chump.  Leaving the beach. Got a warning. They thanked me for getting them out of the car.  Moral of the story: WAY better to ask forgiveness than permission. Smile, keep your hands where the po-lice can see them, hand over your papers, flirt with the lady cop, and try not to laugh. One exchange from the stop: Cop: Turn around anywhere and get off the beach. Len: I would prefer not to sir. Cop: What? Len: I am following in the line of the tractor which has left a much more severe impact on the beach than I and I would prefer to follow these tracks rather than drive over unspoiled beach, if you don't mind. I am a proponent of treading lightly sir. Cop: What? Len: As one who is recognizant of the impact we have on the coastline, I wish to minimize mine and would prefer to not turn around. Cop: Keep following the tracks then. Len: Thats what I was trying to do before you stopped me sir. Lady cop (Bursts out laughing): As you were. |

LMFAO!!! That's a GREAT beach, hopefully you will be there around mid afternoon when it's really hopping, at times in the summer it's very hard to even find a spot to lay your towel. You can grab yourself a styrofoam cooler, a bag of ice and a 6 pack of beer all for under 20 bucks right next to the amusement park at that little store, relax and take in all the sights! Tom's Parking is a great spot to park, cheapest around if your there early enough, the prices get higher as the day grows longer though! One last thing....despite what the locals say....Bill's is the place to eat for pizza! Trust me!
