From the dock We would like to extend this screened in section  Well, we certainly are anxious to depart the east coast and head for central Canada to our cottage in Quebec. The weather there is not much different than it is here at the moment but it doesn't hurt to yearn for the cottage, you know, getting away from it all, relaxing with a drink on the deck, meeting friends and family and enjoying all that the lake offers.

It's a Subaru of course and made for the long distance drive across Canada or anywhere else for that matter.
