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.
Canada info, please

Travel in Canada
Leave your guns at home. I'm not going to open up a can of worms about guns on this forum. Leave them at home. Thank you.
Fuel along the Trans Canada Highway. You'll have no issues. Look at the locations where you'll be traveling and pre-plan fuel stops along the way. The only possible location where you need to really pre-plan is between Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay, overt the north shore of Lake Superior. Yes, the communities are few, but all have fuel.
As for accommodations, we always use booking.com It has been our primary "tool" for years.

It's exactely the same rule (And probably worst) for Canadians trying to enter to USA...

If someone has any sort of criminal past, especially if it was a violent crime, they will probably be denied entry into Canada. Same thing will happen if they have an attitude when talking to the border guard. They had better call Canadian Border Services to see if they can be admissible. Failing to do so is their own fault if they get turned back.
Going to another country is a privilege, not a right, regardless what anyone thinks. When we travel to the US, we know that we are let into your country by the grace of the border guard that we talk to. If for any reason they decide not to let us in then it would be too bad for us. Same for anyone coming to Canada.
Play by the rules and I hope to meet as many of you as I can.

Those going to Quebec, be sure to order "Putin" or "Puteen" whatever they call it. :yes: It is not healthy, but it is sooooooo good. French fries, sprinkled with squeaky cheese curds and covered in brown gravy, a local dish served hot and accessorized with a coupon for a Ryde to the local ER. :thumbup:

I thought you guys down there called them "Freedom Fries" :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
You are close, it is called Poutine and it is great. It can be made with curds (squeaky cheese) or shredded cheese depending on the place you get it from. There is a French word that is close in pronunciation, but means something totally different. If the woman slaps you, you will know that you pronounced it wrong. nojoke

I have no worries but this was my point. Among 3000 people I'm sure someone my need this information. Would hate to see my fellow spyder brothers or sisters turned away for something that comes up from past history. We have had the Spyder to Niagara Falls with no problems. Before our Spyder days we rode 4 wheelers and was able to cross In to Canada at Jackman Maine. What a blast and saw moose.

Pretty simple, unless you are hunting, DON'T bring guns into Canada. Your second amendment rights don't apply here. Lived here all my life and never needed a gun. This is not meant as an argument, just a warning, it's not fun to be detained at the border, guns confiscated, sent home and then having to reappear on gun related charges. Even if you risk bringing a long gun it can't be loaded and ammo must be separated. We do have extradition with the U.S. so they can get you back here to face charges if these do happen.
In all cases if you are bringing a rifle or shotgun into Canada it must be for hunting purposes and you must fill out an Application for an Authorization to Transport Restricted Firearms at the border and that will cost $50. If you can't prove you are going hunting you will be denied. You must also adhere to Storage, Display, Transportation and Handling of Firearms Regulations.
Hope that helps.

If you order Bacon in Canada, it will be the same bacon you get in the states.
Canadian bacon ordered in the USA is actually ham in Canada
Pemeal Bacon in Canada, is pickled pork loin rolled in either cornmeal or Peameal. If you order Canadian bacon in Canada you will get Peameal Bacon.
So if you have ordered Canadian Bacon in the USA it will NOT be the Canadian Bacon you get in Canada.
it is yummy.

And Drummondville is said to be the Home of Poutine in Canada. It definitely would not be Putin, as they would be Russian fries and those come with Vodka and Caviar
From the horse's (RCMP's) mouth
When we crossed into Canada (in 2014) we declared we had our long gun in the RV, and had to register the weapon and pay a fee. They pulled us aside, into the building and ran a check on our identities and filled out the paperwork. We also had to let them physically look at the gun.
Here is the link http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/fs-fd/visit-visite-eng.htm
.. and the form http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/form-formulaire/pdfs/5589-eng.pdf
And yes, what visit to french Canada would be complete without poutine!

I am sure that it will happen to someone. With all the discussion going on about travelling here next month. I am sure there will be a few stories on here about being tuned away at the border for the very same reasons that are being discussed. There are always a few hat think they know how to thwart the system and end up being caught.
Whenever we travel to a new country we always check out what the differences are and what not to do. Sometimes, what seems like a minor thing to us can be a huge issue in that country. Sure, we can just not go, but then we would miss out on a glorious experience.

Pretty modern little country up here
Lots of gas stations up here , lots of towns and cities along the highways mostly like the good ole USA ...... doubt you will need a gun of any type unless you plan on trying to rob a bank up here ( haven't needed one in 55 years but that's just me I guess) . Hunting is still popular here but Not sure where you would carry a long rifle on a Spyder ? Don't rely on what you read on the internet .... come see it for yourself

False .
You can't make a criminal record go away by waving money at a Border agency. ( wether you consider it " a silly adolescent slip up " or not ) You would need to get a pardon on your record
its not any different than going from here to the States

Thanks, all
I knew I could count on you for info. Even for info I wasn't expecting ... bacon, for example. :clap:
The Spyders are cleaned/polished and sitting in the garage staring at roadmaps. Going to DMV this morning to register newly arrived trailer.
My apologies to our Canadian cousins who thought I was insulting the sanctity of their fine country with my comments about the 2d Amendment. Not so. I wasn't planning on carrying a firearm because of concerns about Canda. I have to travel through the U.S. to get to and from Valcourt. Thus, the firearm. 30+ years in Florida taught me that many Americans are perfectly willing to open fire over perceived driving irregularities -- or less. Open-carry is the law of the land in North Carolina and I like it. Once you get over seeing firearms in Walmart then you gain respect for how responsible most gun-carrying Americans are. Besides, here in far western NC there's not many cops to go around.
At any rate, thanks for the info/advice. See you in Valcourt.
