Simply beautiful! thanks Maggie (and the others). I think that this
south-west corner of  USA is a trip by itself, i have seen the Grand
Canyon 3 years ago but it was March, and no one told me it was still
cold as hell up there (camping in the snow at Flagstaff)! me "no go"
south to see more snow... i have enough up here. Only the south ring was
open, still!!! it's one of the most beautiful place i have seen... but
my old 73 didn't like it at all, at 0 compression on 3 cylinder, that
day was a disaster!!!

I guess Spring time or fall would be perfect, i hate cold, but i hate
high heat also!

I wanna die when it's over 95F, well, the problem with Montreal /
Toronto is the combination of high humidity (Great Lakes-St-Laurent
river), so in summer time, 95 feel like 115F.

I still plan a stop to AZ, NM, TX wile in Mexico next winter....
Thanks for sharing those nice stories/pictures wile up here it's
freezing, grey... and i'm sanding my van on a Saturday night :-(

L. Chasse how me one, one day :-)
