Rivers & Peppers & Dino’s OH MY!

 Oct 1st


Linda commented on the high rate of trains last night. Their brakes are worse than nails on a blackboard!


The Thompson River closed to fishing today! Conservation measures, which I can’t fault. Will fish Morgan and Six Mile lakes instead. Sooooo…


Kamloops - first stop A&W for coffee, then bloodwork (by way of Staples to print the requisition from my phone), fly-fishing gear again, and Vancouver Island bookings.












Linda liked the hearty burgers and fries at “The White Spot”. Tiny supper to follow.


Only chore was defrosting the fridge. Yay!


Linda points out that we are one month on the road and now “Lease Free”. We are Tenants of the Road. Wanderers, Vagabonds, Wayfarers.

Day at camp. Crib tournament, Linda squeaked out a victory.


Linda scared a poor snake!


Just about asleep and Linda asks “how many TRAIN songs do you know”? WTF?


Twelve, we came up with twelve… Zzzzzz!


Oct 3


Lytton to see the confluence of Fraser and Thompson rivers, each a different colour! Lytton was the town that burned 3 years ago.
















Stopped at Desert Hills market for the lowest prices on fruits and vegetables EVER! Gala 50 cents/lb, 5lb Jalapeno $6.00.















Linda tickled a dinosaur!
















I almost go swallowed!















We made Chili.


Getting bloodwork results while travelling is a nightmare. I can’t use my existing requisition because I’m outta province.

We used our new SELPHY to start making custom postcards. 















Postcards written at our new Cache Creek cafe.

Scoped out a variety of fishing spots near Kamloops. More losses at crib.















Pat Lake for fly-fishing

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…!
