Liard Hotsprings
We are hurrying home hoping to stay one step ahead of the weather. There is lots of snow here in Ft. St. John, about five inches and the weather is cold (-13c) for this time of the year. The weather...
Travels
Going home
I guess technically we have been 'Going home' since we left St. John's Newfoundland, but now it really feels like we are in fact on our way home. Yesterday we zipped through Mr. Lube to ensure the truck...
A visit with me Mom!
Lawrie comes up with some wonderful ideas now and then! I was feeling somewhat nervous with our plan to drive through the Rockies with the trailer and then carry on home via Kamloops, Prince George, and...
A week in Cowtown – aka Calgary
Well, what can you say about Calgary? It's young, its brash, its vibrant, and just in case you didn't know, it's the oil capital of Canada. Thanks to a fifty dollar barrel of oil, and a huge ancient sea...

Trees, Mints, and Sunflowers
Another extremely early start and while we have seen this part of the highway, it is now dark and so who is to know. The sun does come up sometime and reveals more trees! Lawrie spots a bull moose and...
The Last of Ontario
What a lot of driving ... a very big drive! We left Koshlong Lake Monday morning at 9ish and managed to get to a nice and very quiet Provincial Park near Cochrane. We had planned to stop at Kap Kag I Wan...
