Heading out of Hussar: North? South? East? West?

Friday, October 30th, 2009

Wow, I’ve been derelict in my duties! I’ve been so busy that I didn’t have a chance to contact someone from Hussar, Alberta, and – unfortunately – there’s just not a lot more to find out about it on the Internet! So that means we’re going to get back on the series of tubes called the Internet and head in a different direction. Will we continue towards Nova Scotia? Head up towards the Northwest Territories and the North Pole? Continue hanging out in Canada’s Prairies? Your vote will help decide our next direction!

We’ll close this poll sometime during the weekend. As always, bonus points for leaving a comment letting us know why you’ve chosen the direction you did!

Heading out of Calgary – What’s Our Next Direction?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

It’s that time again, that time when we pack up our interest in one town and head on to the next. I’m a little sad that we have to leave Calgary so soon – I feel like we hardly got a chance to scratch its surface – but we’ve got a whole world to get around, so we can’t stay anywhere for too long. You probably know how this goes by now, so vote for the next direction you’d like to see us head-in:

Got a reason why you voted the way you did? Why not share it with the rest of us in the comments! I’ll be closing the poll around Noon PST on Saturday, October 17th.

Moving on from Milo: North? South? East? West? Calgary?

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

It’s time for us to head out of Milo, Alberta, but this time I thought I’d throw in a twist. If you follow this project at all, then you probably know that we only travel 100km (about 60 miles) at a time in roughly cardinal directions. Milo, however, is almost exactly 100km southeast of  Calgary, Alberta. It seems like a shame to omit a chance to visit a big city just because it’s not exactly North or West, so we’re going to throw Calgary in as an option on this poll:

As always, you gain Good Traveler Points (redeemable for.. uh…) when you use the comments to tell us why you voted the way you did!

Got to keep on moving: North? South? East? West?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

So I wrote that title and then immediately got “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder stuck in my head. (You’ll find the video embedded at the body of this post. ) Of course, you know this post isn’t about my love for Matthew Wilder, but rather it’s about you selecting our next direction! We’ve got places to go, but where are those places? Which way?

Bonus points for explaining your vote in the comments. Or you can use the comments to talk about what a great song “Break My Stride” is. Your choice.

North? South? East? West? Which way do you like the best?

Alright, gang, it’s time for us to head out of Crowsnest Pass and down that series of tubes they call the Internet. I bet you know what to do here:

What’s our next direction? North? South? East? West?

Kimberley’s been enjoyable, but it’s time to head on out – we’ve got a lot of space to cover if we’re ever going to make it around the world! Vote your preference of our next direction, and we’ll see what we end up with:

I’ll close the polls sometime in mid-afternoon on Thursday, August 27th. As usual, bragging rights for explaining your directional choice and why in the comments!

Leaving Bonners Ferry – Where to next?

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Have you enjoyed our visit to Bonners Ferry? I sure have! If you haven’t yet, please check out the comment added by Bonners Ferry citizen Lon Woodbury – he explains what the Safeway paintings are about and also gives us some further info on the community.

It’s that time again when we pack our browsers and figure out our next location. I’m putting up the poll, as usual, but this time I feel it’s a little superfluous – I have a very strong feeling that I know which direction we’re going to be heading in! (Hint: we’ll be leaving the United States.)

Leaving Coeur D’Alene – Which way will we go?

Monday, August 10th, 2009

It’s time to hit the road again, so that means another round of voting. Will we go West, back into Washington? Will we continue North towards the Canadian border? East towards the “Big Sky” country of Montana? Or will we go back the way we came last?

Brownie points for including your reason for your vote in the comments!

Where do you like the best? North? South? East? West?

Alright! It’s time to get moving and head out of Lewiston, Idaho. The continuous question on our quixotic trip around the globe is: which way next?

Alright, we’ve spent a couple of days here in Pierce, Idaho, and it’s time for us to get going! You decide which direction we’ll go next:
