OK, it was lunch time and we needed someplace to stop. In a small town somewhere in the wilderness between Ottawa and Barrie, I think the conversation went something like this.


As we approached a Tim Horton's, Jo-Anne said .... "TURN RIGHT HERE!" Seeing some sort of pavement initially, I slammed on the air brakes and wheeled the Flying Scotsman in an immediate right turn and ended up on this gravel path that led nowhere.

We haven't had to unhook the car to get the bus turned around in a long time but there was no way to turn the bus with the car attached in this narrow drive ... and you are seeing the end of the driveway just beyond.

Anyhow, after I unhooked the car, Jo went to the distant Timmy's for food as I did multiple back and forth turns to get the machine to where it is parked above. After a good lunch we hooked up and were off again ... fortunately not pouring rain and wind, eh.
