Brendan Escott 2:38

one day? It's an eight hour drive, but it's yeah, you book a day for travel basically and you're all good half a day.

Bob Stauffer 2:45

So I could get to Prince George. Uh when uh we were play I remember uh that the the best of Fleetwood Mac, probably oh I don't know, ninety, ninety one, and I could get to Prince George from Edmonton in seven hours. Course I could do the Jasper to uh to Prince George part in about three hours. Because there was never any RCMP or right around McBride, like you could do a hundred and fifty to a hundred and sixty kilom I don't know if I should be admitting this. There's no retroactive uh I I'm sure we we drive a little uh let's put it I I'm a lifetime Albertan, so I've got a little bit of a lead foot. I'm the first to admit to it. So it takes about eight hours to get the the loops. And do you ever push it over I I think yeah?

Bob Stauffer 3:31

I better be you know, I do drive a a truck courtesy of my friends at Brent Rich Ford, and they've got an actual odometer uh that uh goes off if I get over a hundred and twenty kilometers an hour. Just so you know. I'm j I'm just joking. Just in case Rich is listening right now. Right. But back in the day when I used to because I used to drive the rental trucks from Edmonton into Prince George, I would try to do that trip in about seven hours.
