Drive home from Canada's west
Nothing too interesting except that we almost died near Portage. Adam was driving and we hit some black ice, spun around 3 times on the TransCanada Highway and ended up stuck in a snowy ditch at the side of the road. Two incredibly nice Manitobans (going in the opposite direction) turned around and tried to help us pull our massive van out of the snow with a Mercury Topaz. ‘A’ for effort. Then after the failed tow job, waited around with us for 45 minutes and let us sit in their warm car until the tow truck arrived. Thanks for the help. We tried to return the favor to a mother and two daughters who spun out and were stuck in a ditch somewhere around Lake Superior. But they seemed to be afraid of us. I can understand though since we’d been driving for 20 hours straight at that point and didn’t look all that Zest fully clean. –Ryan.
