Today was a travel day.
John and Fran have been having problems with one of their breaks on the motor
home, so they left before we even got up this morning so they could get to the
Freightliner dealer today to have it looked at. The thinking was that if
something was wrong, then a part could be ordered and possibly be here before
we have to leave next Wednesday. Good news though, nothing wrong with the
breaks and only cost them $100.00 to have it looked at.
We left Hinton around
11:00am, only had about a three hour drive to Edmonton, our next stop, so we
knew we didn’t need to get out really early. On a side note, our truck has been
running much better and we are now getting an average of 10mph, while towing!
We have left the mountains
behind and entered the plains area of Canada. Starting to see crops planted and
cattle grazing, on gently rolling hills.
Whatever is planted up here is done with a hope and a prayer as the
growing season is very short. There has been so much rain here in the last
month that there was a fear of the crops being totally washed away. June has
been one of the wettest months in recorded history. Calgary is still having
problems with excess water, but from what we hear, they are working hard to get
it cleaned up and ready for the Stampede. Going to be interesting to say the
least!
