Camel made it to america!
Hi guys. We are finally being allowed to drive our car out of customs tomorrow and are aiming to drive up north through Maine into Canada. Do you have any suggestions of really cool places to visit (apart from the obvious ones) If you see us give us a wave

We aim to head up through Maine Monday and maybe Tuesday and the hit Quebec followed by Montreal and the Great Lakes. But we have no firm plans, any thoughts?Mods: raised air intake, dual battery system, roof rack with Bush Pack, ladder and awning, side steps, light protectors, rubbing strips, fridge, winch, replaced air suspension with coil system, extra fuel tank, waterless coolant, spare wheel carrier, external LEDLight, pure sine wave inverter.

I suspect that will have to wait for another trip! It's hard to get a British head around how big Canada is!Mods: raised air intake, dual battery system, roof rack with Bush Pack, ladder and awning, side steps, light protectors, rubbing strips, fridge, winch, replaced air suspension with coil system, extra fuel tank, waterless coolant, spare wheel carrier, external LEDLight, pure sine wave inverter.

So many good things in Canada - but if I had to choose, the Rockies (Ice fields parkway) and the west coast (check out the drive into Bella Coola down the hill) is a must http://tinyurl.com/p6vye3h
... and if you're still in the East or Quebec area come October, take in the Fall foliage
