My Virtual Cross-Canada Trek 2009 - Bienvenue Au Ville de Quebec

Now 929 KMs from home, just passing by Quebec City. Quebec City is on eof the oldest in Canada - full of great sites, sounds, and tastes, including La Citadelle, regimental home of the legendary Vandoos - Le Royal 22e Regiment of the Canadian Army.

As the weather gets better I'm making greater daily progress as I keep walking across Canada. Next major destination is Montreal, a mere 272 KMs down Autoroute 20. I prefer the scenery along the South shore of the St.Lawrence River to that of Autoroute 40 and the North Shore.

The trek continues...

My Virtual Cross-Canada Trek 2009 - Bienvenue Au Riviere-Du-Loup!...

With the weather getting better, I've sailed right on through New Brunswick, passing through Edmunston and now find myself in Riviere-du-Loup PQ, 820 KMs from Halifax.

Several people have remarked that I am looking thinner although I've only noticed minor changes so far - I'm in one more hole on my belt, clothes are fitting a little better and I definitely have more energy. Still a long way to go...

I have no idea how much I weigh and probably won't weigh myself until the Fall - for me it's not about how much I weigh, but rather how well I feel and I am feeling good. Looking forward to a long summer of walking, with the next two big stops being Quebec City and Montreal. Bring on the hot weather and the miles!...

My Virtual Cross-Canada Trek 2009 - Welcome To Fredericton!...

Greetings from Fredericton NB, 419 Kms into my cross-Canada trek. Fredericton is the capital of New Brunswick and the home of the University of New Brunswick. UNB is hosting this year's STLHE (Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education) conference from 17-20 June, one of thebest conferences around if you are at all interested in teaching and learning at the college and university levels.

Fredericton is a great town, and over the years I've spent a fair amount of time here, spending a good chunk of my military career at CFB Gagetown in nearby Oromocto, Canada's Model Town...

The weather is getting better and now that it's officially Spring (YAY!), I'm hoping to make better progress. My next major objective will be Edmunston NB - I hope to be there before Easter. Wish me luck!...

My Virtual Cross-Canada Trek 2009 - I'm Past Moncton NB!

The trek continues, through slush and sleet, and snow, and occasionally sun - I'm just coming into Salisbury New Brunswick - home of an Irving Big Stop where I always stop when driving through NB. Sailed on through Moncton, weather was good, so kept right on going.

Different this time walking through the province, so it'll be a virtual stop at the Big Stop.

Next major destination - Fredericton. Here I come!!...

My Virtual Cross-Canada Trek 2009 - I'm in Sackville NB!

Man, the winds crossing the Tantramar Marshes were strong and cold! Lots of snow too - it's really slowing down my progress - I'm way behind schedule if I want to get to Vancouver by year's end.

I'm just on the outskirts of Sackville New Brunswick (NB), home of Mt. Allison University. We've had a messy winter so far in this part of the country - lots of snow, freezing rain, sleet, rain, and general mess. Next major destination is Moncton, NB - I hope to be there by the end of next week.

The journey continues...
