Sorry we have been out-of-touch. The time really does pass so quickly. And as we crossed Manitoba and Saskatchewan we were totally absorbed in the changing scenery and continued good fortune to meet interesting people everywhere. Having a teardrop camper is better than having a dog in a dog park. Sooo easy to meet folks.
I am sitting on a picnic table at the Registration Center of Jasper National Park, Alberta. We snagged a campsite at the Whistler Campground. TIMING IS EVERYTHING! Everything, everywhere is full, but somehow we have managed to visit 4 National and 2 Provincial Parks. As well as 3 HipCamps and 2 Wal-Mart parking lots.
Yes! We feel more than extremely lucky.
So in no particular order here’s a glimpse of our road life for you…
“Drive According to Conditions” (near Kenora). One of our favorite road signs. So gentle. It assumes the driver is intelligent enough to make good decisions.
Listening to a podcast we heard we should stop being predictable…try something new…take a risk…”maybe drive west without a map”. Seriously, the universe just keeps affirming us.
We saw a HUGE sign declaring “CENTER OF CANADA” at 12:30 on Monday, July 25th. Pretty exciting to know exactly when you are in the very middle of something!
My new favorite saying came about when I missed a chance to take a picture of the beautiful Current River. I thought, it’s really true that once you cross over the current river, it becomes a thing of the past
Just asking one good question can open up a whole new world! We might find out our host is an amazing artist, our waitress knows lots about Ted Lasso, the couple on bikes give us the information we need to choose whether to head west or divert north for awhile, or you ask about buying veggies and end up with a dozen free eggs (seems like everybody we meet has 40 acres and chickens). Yep, one good question is a great practice.
