Its just somethings you need to see first hand!

Re: Car Hire and local weather pls
Yep
The roads are open and long but traffic free. In Alberta they arent t bad but in Sas they start to go a bit poorer. I havent been much further East so I cant say what they are like but I was told there they get steadily worse as you go East. Any one wanting to entertain us on the road conditions

compare the climate here to that of Europe, and especialy the UK,, christ it goes from -50 to plus 40c, so i taking that factor into consideration the roads here are pretty damm good,,,bumby but good
