http://www.vimeo.com/5669689WHATS GOING ON!!??
Well, after some time off the team is ready to continue there journey west! There have been several new developments for those who have not been informed.
Rod and the team took some time off, approximately a week or so in the Niagara region which allowed for some rest, seeing friends, as well as allow Rod the chance to play at CicadaFest an amazing Indie music festival organized by Roger Marin and Thom Lepp. (footage to follow)
Rod Standish and the rest of the team are back on the road and surprise surprise there may be a new member or two to the Drift Communications team joining us on the journey to cross the country, for those developments though you’ll need to wait for the next set of videos!
The Map…
Thank you to the wonderful people at Converge Wireless we will shortly be up and running with a system that will update the map on an hourly bases with where ever Rod Standish is allowing you to follow him in real time.
The Converge Wireless Team have sponsored us with a blackberry phone that’s outfitted with custom software that will send a message to our map system every hour with Rods latitude and longitude. My Mileage Genie is the special software outfitted on the phone for our walk. Anyone undertaking a similar project or looking for software to track where you are/flue costs and a number of other things I would encourage you to check it out!
Thank you again to everyone who has helped us along the way thus far and for those who have donated! Its because of you that we’re able to keep this going and continue doing what we can to spread the word and help these charities get out there to the masses!
More footage to come!
Just to let you know Rod, Paul and Lester plus the k-nine !! left us yesterday to continue on.Wishing them the best for the rest of the walk.
Good to see the drift team is back on the road! After discovering gravy and coagulated cheese curds in the air intake, it was determined that while Paul (aka Pappa Poutine) was inhaling a poutine while traversing Quebec, some of that rich sauce was sucked into the air sensors causing the van to stall.
Good to see all is good! Keep walking, rolling and drifting…..

How was the coffee? DId you actually manage to find the bakery? If your wondering who this is, it’s the kids who were sitting on the Picnic table in Dundalk Ont. where you were camping on July 23!
Great music guys, we found a song that suits you well. This is our home ( 8:30 Newfoundland ) By: Mike Plume Band.!
