There's so much unusual stuff that I began to keep track of it in my tour journal - then when it came time to send a bi-weekly e-mail to friends back home, I included a section entitled "The Great Canadian Ditch Detritus Derby". I had an incredible response to it. The winning items that first summer? At Wawa, Ontario when stopping to put on some rain pants, I found what looked like a BIC lighter (lots of those), but it had a wire sticking out of each end -- turned it over and read "dynamite blasting cap" - didn't try to take it home; also found a large box of photo albums and family pictures - was wishing I had a car to carry them and maybe track down the owners, of course, if I'd had a car, I wouldn't have seen them.
