I'm lucky enough to visit Vancouver at least once a year (being a former resident). Do we get to know the location of your fine cuisine so we may sample it?Upside, I see your from AB. I bought an old john deere from a fellow in Crossfield just north of Calgary. I drove all the way from PA to there to get it. Beautiful country up there. Are you familiar with this area? My only problem was it was July1 and I couldnt find a hotel room so I had to drive all the way to Sweet Grass MT. to a rest stop to sleep. Hope to go back sometime.
