Good morning!
I started to write last night and got to a point and then had company so it didn't get posted.....
We had quite an experience yesterday on our crossing into Canada.... we got to border around 10ish and began to get in line....we were in the middle of our group. Don pulled in and zipped right through so when we pulled up we were asked the questions and we were then told to pull over and park the unit. We had no idea what was going on..... we were going to be inspected!!!!! Andy zipped right through also.... So we waited over 6 hours for our name to be called. Of course during the time thousands of things go through your mind...what did I say ....what didn't I say.... what are they going to do etc...... We were then told to pull over to the garage that held 3 bays. There were 2 with through doors and 2 trailers were in there before us and they were packed full to the door tips so they had to go through all of them ...well, one of them had to practically unpack everything but the other was waiting for an xray machine ..we found out later..... anyway...... we pulled into the garage and the doors were shut. We had to open all the bay doors and then open the slides and go into another room. They looked all over the truck and into the coach. They found the booze we had and went right by it. We were told on the ticket the gal had written rifle too high on the top so that is the reason we were inspected ??????? We told them we didn't have any weapons at all...... they weren't concerned about the booze at all. So in about 10 minutes we were done and told we could leave. So about 2:40 we pulled out and headed on our way to Calgary. Andy's and Don's had left shortly after we were pulled over and went to a Carriage museum.
When we were on our way I called Charlotte and told her we were on our way..... lo and behold....they were just on their way too...so we met them within a bout 2 miles of each other. So we proceeded on to Calgary....
We found the Flying J and decided not to go toWalmart but stay in the Casiono parking lot for the night. It is in a pretty nice area and we even went to Flying J for supper..... a late supper.
We will drive today to Edmonton and spend the weekend..... the weather has been fantastic...even got up to about 75 here yesterday.
So that is the events of the day.
Until next time and hopefully a calmer day today!
BJ
