We used to taxi through the fence to the gas station next to
Drummond A/P .... but the owner's insurance company caught
up to him, and he's not allowed to pump gas into aircraft....
But he does have a few gas cans available ! ;-) :-)
Moose Jaw North ???? We stop at Moose Jaw Municipal -
guess that's the same place .... never noticed mogas, but it might
well be there ....
Park Falls is a bit closer than Philips ..... but you're right,
it's a fair detour.
If you go to:
http://www.airnav.com/fuel/local.html
you can type in the ident for the stops, and see everyplace
nearby that has Mogas ......
You'll likely be able to get mogas in most places, with
a bit of effort. There's a gas station about 2 miles down the
road from Manistique - maybe the casino shuttle driver
needs to go there for gas .... ;-)
I'm sure the Sub will adjust to 100 LL - best to see how
it likes it before The Rocks .... probably good stuff at altitude.
Mind you, we'll likely get to 8,500 ft. long before Alberta ... :-)

Mogas is listed as available at Drummond which usually means there is a
pump for it but I'll be bringing some jerry cans if that's what it takes.
Phillps southeast of Ahland also lists it but its a bit out of the way.
Moose Jaw North and Abbotsford also list mogas.

Glad to hear the Customs decals come quickly -
we recommend everybody order them now, rather than
getting them when we cross the border. We usually stick
them on the door post, where they can be seen through
the window - they must be positioned where they are
visible 'with the windows open'.... can go outside too.
It will save a lot of time & trouble, as they don't actually
GIVE you the decal at the border - just a receipt... which you'd
better have handy at all times !
The Arlington address is useful - everyone going should
print out the Arlington NOTAM, and the Oshkosh NOTAM,
as these should be with you on entry.
The Customs Decal Request, form 339-A, can be filled
in ONLINE, at: (ONLY works with certain browsers !!) :-(
http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/forms/
The Customs Arrival Report, form 178, can also be printed
from that same address - you should have several of these
aboard, for each time we cross the border. You can fill in
most of the info ahead of time - leave the dates, though ... ;-)
Maybe those who are leaving from the West can order
their maps to ship later, on the chance that they might get
the latest ones -- BUT -- allow a week for Canada Post to
deliver them !!!
The only places I'm sure you can get Mogas are Carlyle, SK,
and Drummond Island,MI - there's a gas station next to the airports !
Of course, you can also run into town at Gore Bay and
Ashland, WI , using the courtesy cars -- and I'm sure you
could get a ride in at Lyncrest and Vernon .... :-)
I do suggest that anyone who CAN burn mogas might want to
bungee one, or two, 5 gallon plastic gas cans into the rear fuselage -
empty, of course, and be sure the vent is OPEN ! This might
come in handy, in case of emergency --- some airports
have run out of gas at Oshkosh time !! :-(
We WILL have a FUN trip !! Everyone, please contribute
your suggestions or questions here - this is your forum !
I hope to have more updates for the web site within a week
or so ..... http://www.Prosumers.ca/Ramble07/index2.html
