Mexico just called and wanted to know where they can pick up this "Mexican Overdrive" you refered to. They are hoping it helps get them here faster.

Mexican Overdrive...downhill in Neutral! It's a mountain drivers term...maybe only from Canada eh?

Wildkat,

On a totally unrelated topic, about 12 years ago I was stuck in Spokane for a little more than a week, so I rented a car and took a self-guided tour of BC, through Cranbrook, Kelowna, Kamloops...made it all the way to Prince George.

I am thoroughly jealous of you, you're up there in God's country, I'm stuck in NC, aka transplant country!

The Rockies are something to behold in the north! Did you go thru the Fraser Canyon or did you stay on the "Big Road"?

The range that's on the Alaska highway is the McKenzie & it's even more spectacular. Check some of my threads in the "Women in Trucking" section.

I often hear this referred to as "Georgia Overdrive" in the states.

I stayed on the big road. Had I known then what I know now, I would have known the best places ain't necessarily on the big road!

I hope to have a chance to do it again...might have to wait until I retire but the next time I'll do it right...go farther up and onto the Alaska highway!

Well, if you ever find yourself up that way sent me a message & let me know. I'm on that highway nearly everyday!
