After having accepted to do a delivery to the end of civilization, I sort of found myself taking ad photos in a Canadian sand pit. Seriously, Promods Canada offers some really nice scenery and looong winding gravel roads to get there.
Then however I got back to civilization and had to spend more time sitting in a queue again. But at least even here the scenery sort of made up for it.

And it only took a few days before I could afford some really neat airbrush art for it.
First foray into Idaho is done and the backhoe loader successfully delivered. Here I’m passing the Cedar Street Bridge Public Market in Sandpoint, Idaho.
