Sept 22-29

 Sept 22

Banff to Radium Hot Springs.


Truck really worked hard getting up and over the pass into BC and Kootenay National Park.


Geez, the last five km into Radium Hot Springs have you driving down a narrow slot. Creepy to us prairie folk!















Sept 23


Rock removal delayed us, so back to Bighorn cafe for coffee.













Stopped at Olive Lake.













Marble Canyon. We noticed the smell and then sure enough, cranberries!
















Paint Pots. Linda did it solo, Rog’s knee was bugging him. Lunch.
















Then came Numa Falls
















Sept 24

Fixed sink, again! 100% silicone caulking this time.


Found ice cream and postcards


Linda did some crafty woodworking.




Basically, a very slack day… lots of reading.










Sept 25


Coffee then funny photos. We try to drink local coffee when we’re camped out.


After 37 years of camping we did our largest wash of camp dishes ever! Of course it helped to have a sink in the trailer. A sink that finally didn’t leak (don’t ask).


After chatting with some local ladies it turns out that sunrise/sunsets aren’t a really big thing in the mountains.


“The clouds turn pink, the tops of the mountains get a warm glow, and then it’s bright or shady depending on your alignment with the mountains!”. Nothing like our prairie Sunrise or Sunset…




Afternoon Farmers Market for yummy Cherry Tomatoes.








Sept 26


Radium to Revelstoke


Early to hit the road. But first a mountain sheep Ram!














Coffees to go from Bighorn cafe.


Got a bang outta Roger’s Pass, 9C brrrr…compared to 30C the day before.













Revelstoke for a campsite, pizza and looking for Salmon.
















Sutherland Falls, looking for spawning Salmon.


Laundry today!


Sept 27






















Sept 29

Cache Creek for coffee, then Marble Canyon (no showers either).


“Wanna continue on to Lilooet” she says…


Aaaaaaaahhhhhh…downhill drive…


Onion Rings at A&W then Groceries and then Wine tasting at Fort Berens, Lillooet, BC. Lucy was our host.

We’re on our way…!

 Welcome to our stories… Retired life on the road. We did three nights at Lake Adam, MB. We had an entire bay to ourselves! Now we’re at Moose Mountain, SK, for one night. So far the roads have been great, and the trailer clutter reduced. This is our home for the next six months. We went Bananas in Melita MB. Crossing the border!

The Peanut Butter is in the sink…

Early A&W coffee in Carlisle SK. They only had cream, so… out to the trailer for milk! Rich Hopps was right! A&W coffee IS really smooth. Then off to Big Muddy!   Badlands and Castle Butte  Linda got to check Big Muddy off her map! And after two years Linda still can’t always close the truck door (door seal vs air pressure). For what it’s worth sorting has found a place.

Peanut Butter now in recycling…

 Organization takes time! Peanut Butter now moved to recycling  Good mileage yesterday. Sask Parks washroom have their own code to text for supplies etc. Maple leaf bakery hot dog knots and cinnamon buns… yum! It wasn’t a fire at Piapot, it was a “Salt Tornado “ At least four herds of Pronghorn antelope. 36’Celsius Medicine Hat. Noooo…!
