Good to hear that everyone is home & safe !
We had an exciting arrival at Brampton too - they changed runways
after we started downwind -- so we changed too ! Got lifted up just
before touchdown, & flipped to one side ... got it straightened out,
and landed with a sigh !!!
Glad to be home, the trip went entirely toooo fast !!! Had a great
time - best Ramble ever, and absolutely a great group of pilots who
really worked as a team, and reeeaaaallllllyyyyyy knew how to
have FUN !!! :-)
We actually had a Ramble with ALL REBELS !!!! And a couple of
Zenith 300s, and a C-172 ... We not only proved you could
"still fly across the country with a clean windshield and an Esso
road map", but we now know you CAN do it ALL on CAR GAS !!!
Thank you, all those kind souls who drove us to gas stations and
back - several times - with those red gas cans !! :-)
(..... and aren't you glad Ken brought a ladder ??!!!!)
More details - maybe - after Oshkosh --- we're into a full day of
laundry, then packing the car for OSH ... (it's just easier to drive in !!)
(and, believe it or not, we CAN take EVEN MORE stuff !!! )
Looking forward to seeing all the pictures - and the "Ramble Reunion"
tentatively planned for August 11th at Wingham .... :-)
Thank you all for putting up with 'Captain Bligh' - a somewhat
mellowed Waldo ! ;-) (We might just have to keep doing
this until I get it right !! ;-) :-) )
A great big Ramble THANK YOU !! To all the great people
who hosted us along the way - we had AMAZING parties in
Winnipeg, Vernon, and Arlington, - and special thanks to
Del & Brenda Schmucker, who drove 3 hours each way to join
the Ramblers in Lyncrest, ....and bring Bob a steak !!!!
Everyone really enjoyed the Western Hospitality !
We really need to get more people out to see what
great countries we have !!
We'll see some of you at the Murphy booth at OSH !!

Ducky is back in the barn too with 58 more hours on her. Our landing was
also exciting in Guelph! Don't ya hate it when after a nice 3 point
landing - a gust comes along and throws you back in the air?
The hospitality everywhere was amazing and we also learned a great deal
and had a great time. Still can't believe how much stuff I unloaded
from the Rebel. But we weren't at gross ;)
thanks again Bob and Anna
Ken, Cherie, and Susan

Well I wish I could say the same! I can say the same on everything except
the plane is in the hangar. After a great trip the cross wind at Tally-ho
field was fierce and directly across the runway. When I tried to keep it
straight for landing (which I couldn't) Peter and I decided that, being
tired and having an audience of 15 people, that it would be more prudent
to land at Alliston - directly into the wind - 3 or 4 miles away. So yes
we are in the hangar having a beer - but WOC will come home tomorrow
morning without all that weight!!!!!
Great trip and thanks everyone. You really can't appreciate how much you
learn until you've DONE IT!!!!!!
Cheers
Jim
