There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Alaska to Arkansas

Day 5: Dawson Creek BC to Red Deer AB. 460 miles.
Day started rainy, but not real hard. More like light drizzle. We ended at 7:00 PM (Mountain STD Time).
We saw no wildlife today. Drove mostly through level farm country. They were very large farms. The road was mostly two lane divided hwy with speeds at 110 KM/h. (68 mph).
Had a bit of an adventure today. Out in the middle of nowhere, we had a tire malfunction. Ran over a bolt and it punctured the tire. Thank you FOBO warning lights. Got to put the donut tire on in the rain of course. A good Samaritan stopped half way through and finished the job for me. Only sixty miles away was a full service tire store. In Whitecourt AB. They had the right tires in stock and took us in the repair bay right away. That was the first tire store in almost 2,000 miles of our trip. The Good Lord was watching out for us again.
Soon going out to eat something. Staying at the Ramada in Red Deer tonight.
More good news...the new owners are officially closing the deal on Friday....meaning we can close on the new home in AR next week. A big load off my shoulders. Again...thank you Lord.

Day 6: Red Deer AB to Great Falls MT. 397 miles
After 2440 miles of Canada, we have finally made it to the lower 48. :yes:
It feels good to be back in the USA.
Another drizzly day. No spectacular scenery today. Kind of like riding the eastern half of SD. Staying at LaQuinta in Great Falls. Three more days of travel and we will arrive in AR.

Day 7: Great Falls MT to Sheridan WY. 550 miles
Another rainy day today. All day long. The scenery all through MT was pretty nice. It felt warm and inviting compared to the stark and forbidding stuff we are used to in AK. In short, it feels good to be home again.
Going to head out for some supper, check more here, and then go to bed for the night.

Day 8: Sheridan WY to Sioux City IA. 640 miles
We had sleet and snow all the way to Spearfish SD. It was sticking on the ground and on objects. The Highway was wet, but not slick. Scenic in Wy but not so throughout SD. No problems to report.
Tomorrow is the final day....Will be in AR.
