After 10 years of my 1984 mazda rx-7 GSL-SE being parked in a barn in manitoba, circumstances arose that needed the car to be moved. to my house seemed like a good place.
Here is the set up.
Friday am - fly to winnipeg, get picked up, go to uhaul, get the trailer, drive it to said barn, load the car, pack some other stuff, go to pinawa, chill out.
Saturday - more chilling out. more packing
Sunday 6:30 am. get in the truck, drive to the barn, hook up the trailer with the car on it, start driving.

1st stop was brandon for gas. while we were there, surprise surprise, a 1984 rx-7 was seen. what are the chances of 2 1984 rx-7s in the same random parking lot?
 |
| what is this? another 1984 mazda rx-7? |
We made it to the border not long after brandon. here are some pictures...

After dinner in swift current, we made for medicine hat. the evening prairie sunset is something we don't get in kelowna.

After revelstoke, it was a quick beeline for home. My mazda made it to our place saftely, and the truck has since returned back to manitoba with the driver... dad.
speaking of dad... thanks for the use of the truck and you accelerator foot. look forward to you next visit. maybe pick you up from the airport in my rx-7.
Awesome story Ryan we had an awesome time with you and Tom in Cherryville and seeing your pictures of the Prairie's and the Rockies makes me wanna go get Diane, hop in the truck and go west again. We think we'll be out again next year and Johnny boy is talking about joining us for the adventure out west.
