A while ago, logging on here was rather slow, on the order of some thirty seconds. Now it takes some forty-five seconds.
I wonder why the forum is taking lessons from the former St. Jesus and Late Coming Railroad? (That was the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County in Vermont.)
St. Johnsbury was the only town where I was ever in a milatary convoy: I was driving a truck and canoe trailer for Keewaydin Dunmore, the oldest private camp in the US, taking both a hiking trip and a canoe trip to their trip start-off points. While waiting for the convoy to pass, a MP came over to ask what I was doing, and when I told him that I needed to get the camapers and staff to their respective locations, he very kindly stopped the convoy, waved me into the gap. I drove off in the midst of the convoy to whatever junction I needed to reach, and left the convoy. Upon returning to Lake Dunmore, a few days later I left to lead my own wilderness trip; I don't recall if it was a backpacking or canoe trip.
