I like the freedom you choose. I've driven thousands of miles. Yet your way to travel astounds me.
On my second and last trip to Canada I got a two hundred dollar speeding ticket in Quebec going sixty on an area with no speed limit signs where I found out the hard way the speed limit dropped suddenly to 45 with no warning. I know there wasn't because I had a bad feeling and I was searching for one. I thought I was going a safe speed. Yet the cops were waiting parked parallel to the only speed limit sign I saw. Lol oh well. I don't speak French. Yet the 220 dollar speeding ticket was clear lol.
I paid the ticket online though honestly I won't find out if it cleared until the next time I go to Canada. Yet I will be avoiding Quebec.
Our governments have been bought. They were originally designed to protect us, yet now they protect their owners. Debt had enslaved our government and it's people. Unless we free ourselves from our debt. We won't be able to act like free people and make our priorities know. I love your post. Good luck on your travels. :)
