First weekend of 2014
Just finishing our first camping trip of 2014. Still a little cool at night (2.5 c). Only Ford F150s in the campground - still to cold for Chevys & Dodges I guess. ;-)

Between Calgary and Edmonton we sit, in Red Deer. Being a non metrics sort of guy, I'll share we are sitting in about 3-4" of light powder. Expect this afternoons light showers should wash most of this away. It's 29F where we are, just off 2.
Now be careful to not start a Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge rant here... I see a mix of all three around us with those that either carry their living quarters on their backs, or yank it behind them as they drive down the road.
I do happen to have an Ford Truck at home, and have lots of fun with a Chevy BIL and Dodge Nephew taking pokes at each other...
Keeping in mind I drive the Ford, I did immediately think back to the Super Bowl commercial two years ago (Yeah, it's a ball with points on the ends, and you don't hit it with a stick. Though sometimes you play on ice, or so it seems.), where the Los Angeles area was shown after a disaster, and a Chevy Truck had to pull out the broken down Ford. (It was a classic, but due to pressure, GM pulled the add and it only showed a few times.)
What made me chuckle about the F150's being around you in the campground, was I suspect a Chevy Guy might say: "Yep, that's where we towed them all to when they broke down!"
Remember I caution about starting a thread where we bang on each other about trucks. And that I do drive a Ford Truck - but sure could not help laughing at that classic commercial... I thought it was great marketing by GM!
Best to all,
