I will try and keep the story short.  

My buddies and I took off for Calgary on Sunday for our Spring Break.  We
left Big Sky Montana around 8am in my 1984 4ksq.  I had replaced the valve
cover gasket a day or two earlier, good thing, that dumb cork gasket was
extremely brittle it came out in 4 pieces, I worked the new rubber one in
there and it works great!

Montana roads were good, got to Canada.  We were searched, well the car
was, they didn't find anything, I could have told them that.  Then we were
off to Calgary.  Roads were again good.  Had a blast in Calgary at the
pubs.  Visited Banff.  One of coolest parts of the trip was when we went to
The IMAX theater in Calgary.  We watched Ski to the Max and they had an
Allroad sequence.  I hope that I am not repeating everyone by telling the
story, but it was pretty cool, yet odd.  I would recommend watching it, it
had some laughs and was a bit cheesy at times but oh well, it was IMAX.  I
don't want to ruin the story.

Anyway we left Thursday, got to Montana. Searched again, this time they had
a dog search, still found nothing, big surprise there.  Got back to Big Sky
yesterday and I am back in Bozeman.  Saw a few Audi's on the trip.  It was
quite a difference in the drive from Big Sky with just my stuff and me vs.
the majority of the trip with two friends, one about 120 lbs the other
around 260, and their stuff.  It was like the car was reborn, or had a
turbo.  Speaking of which, does anyone want to donate to my turbo fund?

Anyway, take care, and I am hoping that spring is near.
