Umm.. are you really Steve Earl? Seriously though, looks like a really nice operation you have there, but, ahh...isn't it illegal?

Man, A lot more North, North Americans here than I thought!

I'm from Gander, which is not that far from Buchans, living in "town' now.

Hey Jonny, None taken... some like it, some don't. Hope you guys get to come back someday so you can experience it first hand. Interesting fact about NL, we drove on the left side of the road up until Canada joined us, then we switched.
