Campbell River move…

 Nov 18

Our deck of cards finally got a container 










Fishing at the Taylor River.













Bumpy backroads back to campsite.

Lots of little waterfalls, narrow one lane bridges, Cedar saplings and POTHOLES! Bouncy!

















Nov 19

Linda roasts Pumpkin for Pie and does laundry while Rog slaves away in Photoshop (with coffee at Timmie’s)

Linda wins at cribbage.

Mobile on the go printing at Staples (from our phone to their printer, self-serve).

Groceries and gas for the truck. 

Returned home and found power out, for second time in a week… we’re running on battery power (or generator in worst case) to keep warm until power returns…

Visitor Info Centre (Rog bought a VI fishing guide) (VI = Vancouver Island)














Hwy #4 blocked by trees down in Cathedral Grove because of “Bomb Cyclone Winds”

Some shopping and reading.

We were pleasantly surprised with all the various “checking in on you” inquiries.

Went out for breakfast (Smitty’s)

Put insulation film on trailer windows













Did “Mondo dishes” (Linda’s term)

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…!
