    I love that suspenseful/ominous music you played while on the ferry not knowing if you'll get off the ferry without a kerfuffle of not. I was in suspense during the entire ferry crossing. Whew... glad you made it and changed the music to little happier and lighthearted mood. Glad you're OK and thanks for the exciting video, Trucker Josh.

    I understand by what you are saying that the trip was not at all what you may have expected but the fact that you brought them beds, stoves etc. (which to us city people is so easy to get) is a blessing for them. Us Canadians know that Northern reserves have it hard especially without roads but the fact that you took this job on yourself & delivered to those people - you have made many people & even families very happy. Excellent job!

    I always thought the gravel roads are better in winter than in summer. If the frost is in the ground, they're hard and packed snow will fill up most of the potholes.

    • @samfrankow3167
      @samfrankow3167 Рік тому

      Dude, isn't that the truth. Some of the scariest times I had in my life were by myself backing up hills in the dark blind corners blindsided with skid steers etc and no one around cuz you're pushing snow etc. But 3 years later having a beer talking to a buddy it's one of the best stories that you got yourself out of, and because it was so damn scary of course it's entertaining. The worse it is it's almost like the more it's worth it just for the story.

    WOW!! What an "adventure" THAT was...!!! I'm sure it was a PAIN having to deal with the snow storm, resulting in you not being able to return home to Brit as soon as you'd have liked!! Have to say, though, from MY point of view, as an Irish person, who's not been to Canada (yet, anyway!!) that the scenery was awesome; enhanced a little by the snow, maybe but spectacular, nonetheless!! Love to you & Brit!! 👍🙂🇮🇪❤️🇨🇦

    I spent this summer in Thompson working for Gardewine and I spent a week on the 280 going back and forth to Gilliam. They would grade it one day and the next it would be all washboard! I would have people passing me doing 110 KPH since the new Mack Anthems had a radar for adaptive cruise control. I was barely able to do 70 KPH without my seat bottoming out.

  • @kimberlyshalaby1134

    Awe finally. So glad you were able to board the ferry. Great choice of music as we departed. Loved riding backwards looking out across the water looking at the sun glistening across the water. Beautiful. Somewhere in Northern Manitoba are Polar Bears. Maybe it's a good thing you didn't have cell service. Nothing would have been more aggravating to me then having to see a Burger King commercial for a grilled Whopper or a Pizza Hut commercial, & not be able to get either one. I loved looking over the bridge at the water & listening to your Irish music. Very good choice on a happier note going home! I didn't sleep well thinking of you. I know you are safe, warm, & had plenty of food. My Sister called at the same time your video started. As you are looking forward to getting on the ferry, she was looking forward to getting home too. They were stuck 4/10s of a mile from home due to a trucker not able to get around the bend. His back end was off in a ditch. It's a U shaped bend. Not made for Truckers. The GPS sends them this way. The tow truck driver got in & got the truck out up onto the flat part of road. With no insult to the driver, it's a very tricky bend. The drivers tell us they would get fired if they go off the route the GPS takes them. We couldn't see a company name to call & tell them about our road so they can prevent it from happening. She couldn't see any name the way they were sitting. We are rural on a dead end, & they shouldn't be in our area. We aren't a main artery. The Holidays are coming so they will be coming to go over the river to get Christmas trees, & pine roping now. Your home safe, she's home safe now. We had a 2.6 Earthquake here Teusday in Grayson County, Va. The madked bandit returned to my Sisters one day last week with "4" little babies. Cute he was a s cute he. Wednesday morning her power went out at 3:20am. Our power was suppose to be out 8a-5p later in the day as the power company was working on the line. We weren't affected on this end. The technician was here by 8:15am to see why they had no power. I figured a bird hit the transformer. It was "1" of the baby racoons that died. They gave it a funeral her & her Husband. I could just imagine the grumbling he did while digging a hole for it, would have been enough to cause a earthquake. Extra hugs to all of you. Hopefully you can rest & enjoy the weekend.😊🍂🍁❤🏝❤🍁🍂👵Hoping the palm tree warms you.
