Steve, I am really enjoying your late 80′s shots of the Canadian and Super-Continental. I was very fortunate to ride both those in September of 1988 (as well as the Atlantic and the Ocean) while crossing Canada return following completion of my university degree. They bring back some great memories, so thanks for posting! Sincerely, Kenneth G. Pieroway
