Wow. We live just an hour West of the Thousand Islands Bridge, and I know exactly where the old airstrip is. There’s also an awesome local racetrack nearby in Shannonville for car and motorcycle racing. Timmins is a pretty vacant old mining town. Not much there these days, but still snowmobile popular region. Port Hope is just an hour West of us. I was born, grew up, and worked primarily in Toronto from early 50’s to mid 2000’s.
Small world huh?
If he doesn't want it, or decides to go with welding his, I would for sure be willing to sell it to ya man.
Of course I would need to know an address should this come to fruit, so I can get the shipping quote.
I hope this is off the main thread, don't want to bore people here. Thanks very much for changing "thumbs-down" to "thumbs-up" on the invite! Interesting connection to such a fine restaurant & I'm envious of your racing connection. When I was a kid I had an uncle who was a very semi-pro sprint car driver in the central-Cal dirt track circuit. He let me help in the pit crew handing people wrenches, huge fun. And thanks for the generous offer for winter fun, actually I'm planning a big trip your way summer 2022 to visit an aunt in Lockport, then on to family in CT & RI. A side trip up I-81 would be fun, we'll just have to see. If you're interested I could get you on Drum to look around. That's about all I can offer in return. Of course you're invited to central-coastal Calif anytime as well, but right now the sky is orange & the air smells like smoke due to fires. The coast is better & here's a friendly RV tip: there are hundreds of wineries that are in BW/HH that are great stopovers-Ken
