Since my vision went South I have to rely on others to take me places. On Thursday my oldest daughter is taking me and my youngest daughter and her two kids to the Pennsylvania Trappers Convention in Meadville. For us it will be a 222 mile trip which is projected to take 3 hours and 37 minutes. The grandkids are in first grade and fourth grade to give you an idea, I am not going to take my water pill that day to cut down on the stops. How many stops do you think we will make? I am predicting 4.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I’ll guess one if you push em a bit.

My in-laws were going to join us going to the ATA convention next month near Edmonton Alberta. About a 16hr drive. The old man’s gotta stop and pee every 20 minutes and he also mentioned water pills. Turns out they’re leaving the day before us and doing the trip in 2 days and we’ll meet them there. For me, 10hrs a day is enough. But once you hit that certain “gear” I feel I could go on forever…..lol.

Years ago we borrowed his diesel with the slip tank to head west. Told the kids “no pee breaks until Swift Current” which is about 10ish hours, we made it to Regina about 5 hours before I had to stop……..lol.
I smoke in my vehicles, except when the kids were under 16, I think it’s illegal in this province to do so.

Hard to predict with kids along. Good luck!


Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

3 hours and 37 minutes

it depends what there is good along the way but , between a stop every hour and a stop every 2 since kids and an old man along.

I think you might want to pick a place with ice cream half way and say if they can make it to that spot you will buy ice cream if we have to stop before then no ice cream.

if you think you can make it to that point.

that works when you are driving the women and kids pack their cloths and wake them up just long enough to pee and walk to the car in the dark.

but when the woman is driving , she won't be picking you up at zero dark thirty
