Ok the fireball show is back on the road. I really enjoyed making a 2 week post of my northern adventures, so I'm doing the same for my Ottawa trip. This trip will have a lot more meat and potatoes so to speak mainly because we only have 4 shows in 5 days, meaning there will be lots of free time to see the sights. I'll also be seeing some old friends so it's going to be a great trip.

As with the last trip thread i'll post nice pictures, thoughts, travel adventures, and anything else that is cool and worth sharing. With that said here is the route we'll be taking. Hope you all enjoy this thread as much as I will.

We are leaving at some point this morning, but it is hard to judge the best time as last night most of southern ontario received a nice blanket of snow. It is supposed to rain all day, meaning a rough drive on the 4 hour leg to Athens, ON.

You'd think that having flame decals on the van would help it melt through the snow lol.

6:30pm ---> We made it to Brockville (near Kingston) through the crazy weather, but saw a total of 14 accidents, varying from cars driving off the road to a full on rollover to a collision to a truck jackknife. It was not fun to drive in as occasional ice-rain also made it hard to see and we had to stop every so often to chip the ice off. We're here for the night and then tomorrow we go the last 1-2 hours to Ottawa, where we will be for the rest of the week. Nice to not have to drive the entire week!
