Monday evening I think????

I really had to look at the calendar today when we got Dawson Creek to see what day it was! We have traveled for 4 days at an average of about 400 miles per day... too damn many if you ask me,..... but I'm not driving! I think we are on the downhill slide now if nothing else happens..... now let me back up...

We drove from Whitehorse, Yukon Sunday to Liard Hot Springs, BC yesterday going ONLY 468 miles! It was a long long day! Lots of twists and turns and many many hills and mountains in the meantime. The roads have improved greatly since we came this same route in May and early June. We got to see a black bear, a huge Grizzly bear by the side of the road, caribou and and deer. The weather has been great and that helps things along tremendously. When we got to Liard Hot Springs which is a provincial park we had only elec. and water. Bill noticed when he let the big slide out it wasn't doing a normal sound....and then it quit. So we got the big slide out back in and locked it.... we will have to have Newmar find a dealer when we get to the states and get it fixed somehow.

We left around 7:30 this am and drove 388 miles today to Dawson Creek, BC. We are almost on the line of Alberta... we saw many deer in the road and also caribou out this am. We had some long pulls today and high hills. Thankfully the roads have improved since June so that helped. When got to the Mile O campground Bill noticed the top part of the hitch had a crack in it. Now in the morning we will have to call a place here in Dawson Creek to have them come weld it...hopefully we will be on the road tomorrow and not have to wait around till much later for them to come weld it. With all the bumps, permafrosts heaves, its a wonder and we are thankful that we found it now and not on the road when it fell off!

We will be going to Jasper, Alberta tomorrow and then onto Banff on Wed. if everything falls the right way. I just looked outside and 9:45PM and its dark out! We haven't had that since we left Ks in May!!!! Holy Cow! :)
It's nice and cool here which is great as we aren't ready to go back to the KS heat!!!! We haven't even had the AC turned on this new unit.... keep your fingers crossed!

Well, its time to close for now.....
Until next time!
