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…!
