Another One Done

 

   To Everyone

Another great trip has come to an end as we were able to pick a couple of good travel days between what seems to be ongoing storms.   We stuck around a couple of extra days until we saw what looked like time to make a beeline.

Before heading out, there was a young fellow and his dog camped across the road to us.  This is when we realize how important the internet has become in our lives as here he is camping in a rather remote area but never far from communication.

We arrived home Wednesday evening after a couple of fairly gruelling days.  Gerry proved to still have the much needed stamina to put in a couple of 700 mile days.  The weather was near perfect for those kind of days - mostly cloud with some intermittent sun, little to no wind, and with the exception of a dozen or so squalls (snow, rain, ice pellets) that we went through, no precipitation to speak of. 

These squalls are pretty common on this road, this time of year but they are usually pretty short lived (like a minute or so and you are out of them).

Just south of the border (south of Swift Current) there was lots of evidence of the storm that kept us back a day or so earlier in the week but all was good now.

We had a great border crossing except we stopped at the border checkpoint - they didn't care how much we bought, just arms, ammunition, cigarettes and alcohol.  Then when we were ready to leave, the agent said "don't forget to stop at the Canadian entry".  We didn't look at the uniform (a uniform is a uniform) to see which country the agent was from.  What we had just gone through was the United States exit station?????  No big deal - just a time waster we thought when we still had a fair number of miles to make.

We got back safe and sound, kids came and we were able to unload like in a hurricane, and now we could relax.

Thanks for following us on our journey.  Until our next trip - have a wonderful summer, enjoy good health, and if in Regina, please stop by!!!
