Day 50; June 16 - Watson Lake

I love these days.  Got up and sit around in my night gown until I'm ready to see the world.   Took a shower and drove down the one street in this small town.  My camera had quit working again, so I was trying to find a new cord.  Good thing I didn't find one--when I got back to the trailer I dug out my instructions and figured out I was trying to charge it incorrectly.  Who would have thought someone that is perfect could have been doing something wrong?

 This is our parking-lot campground behind the TAG gas station, laundry mat, deli, convenience store.  You name it, they got it!
We were across from the Sign Corner that is know throughout the world.  It has 70,000+ signs and is growing everyday.  I wish I had know about this is MY world, I would have brought one of my KAYKAY license plates and hung.  It was interesting.  Gary spent a lot of time there, and I finished reading Pride and Prejudiced.  I hated it in the beginning and learned to really like it at the end.  The next book of the 25 Best Books ever written is Jane Eyre.  I will ready some trash in between.


Speaking of trash, can you tell they don't pick much around here.  When you don't need it anymore, it stays right where you left it!  We noticed this as we drove around yesterday.


We are headed to Whitehorse today.  I believe the driver said it was around 280 miles.


Love and kisses!

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O
