    I know the Peace Country is nearly as big as Texas
    but I know a Farrier up there, Patrick Ards,
    If you see him, shake his hand and say hi from me . . .
    He'll smile back and treat you to one of them Timmies.
    Yup, pretty big country, but I cover alot of the area thru my work, if I run across him, I'll make sure to say Hi!

    Speaking of "block heaters", any of you fellow Canadian hangers know where a guy might be able to get a hold of a possum down beanie on this side of the border?

    Cheers!

    Yup, coffee crisp minis are my favourite, they don't break apart in the pack as easy, and if you bust them in half and dip them in your hot cocoa or cup of joe, they are something else! If you get across the border, gotta get some Caramilks, they are awesome frozen, so good to go on winter hikes, and a box of Smarties, kinda like m&m's but they do melt in your hand!
