Red Deer Alberta and Edmonton, Alberta

Pam trying to make the birthday boy look "good" for his party
June 27th we left Lethbridge Alberta and drove to Red Deer, Alberta Canada where we stopped for the night at The Westerner RV Park so we could visit with our fellow Nova Scotia "Back of the Bus Gang", Eugene and Linda Yaworski.  What a GREAT time we had!  Pam had planned a little get together to celebrate Rich's birthday.

It was so good to see Eugene & Linda again.  It was like being on the Nova Scotia Tour all over again!!   We left Red Deer the next day and headed to Edmonton Alberta Canada for a one night stay. After an unplanned tour of the city due to following the GPS instructions to a Flying J Truck Stop that NEVER existed where the GPS took us, we HAD to see the great Edmonton Mall.  It has OVER 800 stores, eateries, an ice skating rink, and 12 theater Cinema, PLUS several Amusement Parks!!

June 29th, we drove to Dawson Creek, British Columbia where the  Alaska Caraventure was to begin on July 3rd.  We pulled into the Northern Lights RV Park  with plans of cleaning the motor home, doing laundry, and just plain relaxing. Weather was cool and cloudy. 


Storm's a comin'


Dave & Pam taking advantage of storm to wash RV.  They soaped it up and let the rain rinse it off
We were quite shocked at the cost of laundry. $3.00 to wash and $2.00 to dry. Bathroom was $1.00 for a 3 min. shower.  But the shocker was, you had to take your shoes OFF before entering the Bathroom/laundry/meeting room building. Now how inconvenient is THAT!!!  Try holding your clean clothes and putting on your shoes at the same time! It doesn't work!!!
