Farewell to Alberta April 27, 2006, 06:38:37 PM Farewell to AlbertaFarewell to ol' Alberta, you oil soaked dirtLet your mountains tall and rocky beFor when I am far away by the brimy ocean tannedWill you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me?The sun was setting in the westThe birds were singing on the last few treesAll nature seemed inclined for to restBut still there was no rest for meI grieve to leave this money makin' landI grieve to leave my comrades allWith no parents 'round, whom I held so dearAnd no bonny, bonny lassie that I love so wellThe Jeep packed up and the tail pipe singsMy wife she calls, I must obeySo farewell, farewell to 'ol Alberta's charmFor it's early in the morning, I'll be far, far awayI have two brothers and they never restOne lucky he never need drive hereBut a poor and simple drafter just like meMust run far away just to view the pure blue seaOk, that's about all the shanty tunes you guys can handle. ;) Anyway, I'm off. Today is my last day of work, and until I'm situated back east, I won't be getting online. Saturday we start driving, and hopefully we'll be there by Friday. So I'll catch you guys on the flipside. :) Quote Selected

Farewell to Alberta Reply #9 – April 28, 2006, 12:19:37 AM Safe trip and all that, you know. I sure hope your TC and propane-beast-truck arrive in one piece on the train, heh.You Canadians have your own separate culture and stuff. It seems so strange that a place not so far away could be so different. Hell, I'm so geographically-uneducated that I can't even picture where all these provinces are. Alls I knows is that there are some big ones way way up north and they don't have many roads but lots of caribou and shiznit... Quote Selected

Picture moving from Montana to Maine, but go a little bit farther on a big peninsula on the coast. From the Rockies to the Atlantic. It took us four days, which is good time. We didn't stop for the night until we got to Thunder Bay.Those big ones in the north with hardly any roads and lots of caribou are territories. Every province but a few Maritime ones actually border the US. :) Quote Selected
