This billboard located in Grand Junction. Isn't it odd when we think of the Carter years as the good old days.

Proper response to such mounties as in the previous post while tempting to do a Mad Trapper on them would actually be to explain the use of hand signals but these are not recognized in Canada.





You have all heard my story by now of how the mounties in Watson Lake would not let me proceed until I had properly wired my trailer with turn signals. Dispite the fact that I had over a 1000 miles of AK highway to do and had no intention of turning from it, I had to come up with a creative idea. I am a sign man and I was prepared to explain that my wagon was a sheep camp since I was changing my profession from CDL driver to sheep herder. That sheep camps are agricultural equipment and only need a triangle mounted on the rear. I sneaked past Sgt Preston in early morning hours and made it to Colorado without further ado.
