Monday September 18

On The Road Again,

I could not believe it was morning already. Ken said it was time to get up and all I wanted to do was roll over. But it was seven o'clock and if we were going to beat the snow and the rain that the weather network had forecast we had to get going. During the routine stuff of getting underway Ken passed me a new garbage bag to be placed in the cab of the truck. I couldn't believe it was one which promoted the 125th birthday of Canada. The bag is 25 years old.... I wonder if it is a collectors item?? But leave it to Ken to have saved a bag for 25 years and it was new and unused.



We drove away from the campground around 8:30 which was pretty good considering my slow start.
It was a pleasant stay even though all we did was sleep there. We were busy with Ken and Carol all of our waking hours.




The day was beautiful most of the day. There was little or no smoke and the clouds hung on the mountain tops. It was simply breath taking.









On this trip and on our train trip before it we have not seen wild life. But today was our lucky day.





We stopped in the Golden area for lunch and it was fun to see that they are getting into the spirit of the season already. Have a look at these beauties.





We put in a long day because of the road construction happening. At one point we were stopped for one way traffic and the line of cars passing us because it was their turn was 166 cars long.
We made it as far as Chase and we are at the Lions Club's RV park. It is a bit pricey but the money is being raised to build a water park water park for the area children. The Lions always do such good work.



It is a nice park, it is right on the river, it has excellent WiFi and we can hear a train near by. What more could you ask for? maybe TV???

Home tomorrow.
