MCPA News Canada greeted us out the side winâ€" dows. Our plan was to make a quick service stop near the 401, just west of London, then head for the border. We had a long day of driving ahead of us. The road wasn‘t on our map and there were no signs to tell us which way to the 401 or to London. We decidâ€" ed to turn left. A kilometre up the road we saw a "Dead End" sign and came up against a chainâ€"link fence. We had to unhitch the car from the motorhome in order to make a threeâ€"point turn. Somewhere in the midst of open land and gravel pits we came to a fourâ€"corner stop and had no idea which way to go. Back at the fourâ€"corner stop, with the car in tow once again, we telephoned the garage where the mechanic â€" was â€" patiently waiting for us. The girl in the service department told us to follow the road all the way to the 401 where we were to go east and take the second exit. By the time we turned east on the 401 it was too late to do anything about the fact Pul an environmental spin on your New Year‘s resoluâ€" tion by purchasing the Plan to get organized â€" and green â€" in 2002 To advertise your services for seniors, please call Laurie at 623â€"6617 ext. 206 Classified Sales Food Allergy Specialists The Natural Food Market that she had given us the wrong direction and we realâ€" ly should have been going west.
