Tuesday Sept 24th – Cochrane, Alberta to
Swift Current Saskatchewan
 |
| Alberta can be flat |
After a disturbed
cough-filled night we were up a little later than planned and finally under way
about 10am. The drive along Hwy 1 was uneventful, but quite interesting. We saw
a camel in a field in Saskatchewan… honestly!!! It was there amongst some cows…
The conversation went like this:
 |
| South Saskatchewan River |
Derek: CAMEL!!!!
Janice and Derek….
HUH???!!!!???
Where is the camera when you
need it most?
 |
| ANOTHER PROVINCE on our journey |
 |
| Yes definitely Saskatchewan |
Anyway... after a couple of
pit stops to switch drivers, we ate lunch en-route and arrived at Trail RV Park
in Swift Current, lured there by their website that said they had wifi, even
more boosted when the person at check in gave us the password and told us that
they had increased the signal strength throughout the park…. We happily set up
and had supper before settling down to update blog and catch up on emails…..
NOT!!! No internet…. A teasing network shows up… but no strength… And no one
around to throttle… ah well.. such is life on the road. Turns out the electric supply is a bit 'dicky' too.. thankful for the surge protector. An early night will do
us good anyway…. Looking forward to catching up with another long-time
friend tomorrow in Grenfell
Saskatchewan… gotta be 20+ years… and none of us will have changed!!!!! Even a
bit!!!! This is such a big plus in our adventure – catching up with friends,
many we have not seen in years. In case
anyone out there is wondering… we are still having a blast and happy and
grateful to be able to take this amazing journey. Stay tuned.
