We left Simcoe, Ontario at 10:00 a.m. and arrived home in Ithaca, New York at about 6:30 p.m. We had absolutely no trouble with the Model A and everything went smoothly as we drove the final leg home. One observation Jim has about Canadian drivers is that they think no passing lines mean pass with caution. Another difficulty in driving Canadian roads was that nearly all the shoulders were gravel which meant pulling over safely to allow cars behind us that wanted to pass was almost impossible. Maybe this is why so many drivers passed us and no passing zone sounds although it's hard to accept this as an excuse. Sometimes there were dangerous passes.
We made stops along the way, saw more windmills, tobacco crops, detours, neat farms and homes, and saw fun lawn art.
Going to one of these national meets is a wonderful way to meet new people and see places that you might not see especially in a Model A Ford. We're glad to be home.
