A friend who was an engineer of some sort for Fairchild Aircraft owned a very professional moose and fishing camp in Northern Ontario, many miles north of Sault St. Marie. On our first trip to his camp, we received a message that someone had made it from the paved road into his camp on a tractor, the first incursion in twenty years on a deserted logging road. All past incursions, (I love that word) had been made by the Algoma Central Railroad, the only way he received his clients. On our way up from Maryland, having received his message, I mentioned that if a tractor could make that 20 miles to his camp, my 1972 two wheel drive Suburban with 11.00X15 tires could make it too. I can't remember whether we had a spare, but I assume we did. The owner of the camp, my friend, told me that if I was willing to sacrifice my truck, he was up for it. Yup, we did the deed. More to come.
