I’ve got a new blog entry, for anyone interested, follow the link in the signature at the bottom of this post 
Great new post on the blog. Lots of pictures and lots of maps [at last].
You are taking blogs to a new higher level.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks RICO, I managed to get the maps up with help from both Dave and Chris, so you’ve got them to thank for that 
Hopefully between the three of us we can give a good coverage of trucking over here
That RICO turned out to be a real nice chap 
A great account of a superb trip, nice one bud.
Well done Mark, first class mate.
Back in 1986/87 I first came across traffic lights on the slip roads in Minneapolis/Saint Paul. Only one vehicle at at a time was allowed to merge into traffic, and you had to be up to speed to do so safely. Apparantly, accidents were reduced, and tail backs avoided as traffic flowed better, and at higher speeds.!
I had regular trips from Cleveland OH, to the twin cities and back, and also through Buffalo, over Peace bridge to Toronto and Montreal. It was a lot less stressful back then lol.
Brings back a lot of memories for me, I enjoyed it then, glad to see you are now.
Regards Paul
