Day Two of the Great Alaskan Adventure


First order of business is to introduce the players in this "adventure."  Connie and I are on the right and Connie's sister Rosemary and her husband Bill Hedlund are on the left.  This will be Rose and Bill's first trip to Alaska, and our fourth.


Day One was 543 miles ending up in Jamestown, ND.  We met with the Hedlund's good friends from Texas, Gary and Delores Moen.  We went out for dinner and visited for a while at the campground.

Day Two we traveled to Moose Jaw, SK.  That was about 470 miles.  Shorter distance, but about an hour more in drive time.  Slower because of road construction and crossing the border.  The border agent asked me if I had any pencils or guns.  I said, "Pencils?" and she said "No, pistols."  I guess maybe I should listen better or get some help.  We're in a nice RV park in Moose Jaw and stayed at the MH for dinner and a game of bridge.

Tomorrow will be an early day, and we'll end in Edmonton, AB.  Rose and Bill have some friends from Texas that will be coming over for a visit.

Weather has been good. The further north we travel, the more rains they have had.  Tonight, at the campground, the owner said it was OK to wash the bugs off the MH, but not to use a lot of water because the ground was so saturated.  What a difference from Iowa!
