Traveling to Edmonton, June 21-26

June 21 – Father’s Day! Chuck heard from all our children. We are sure glad we purchased Verizon’s Canadian cell phone plan. Today it RAINED all day!!! We stayed overnight in Lloydminster, SK. I did not take any pictures today, since I did not want to get my camera wet. Just 30 miles outside of town, we had an engine light come on. One reason for the light that was listed was excessive water……well, we did have that, but we will have our engine light checked out tomorrow. If all goes okay we should be in Edmonton, AB tomorrow night. Hopefully the rain will stop. We have been on the road 7 days and have had rain on 4 days.


June 22 and 23– Arrived Edmonton, Alberta and the evening is nice. Finally out of the rain. We plan to visit the Edmonton Mall, see the summer solstice and just relax.

After a long day at the mall….time for a few zzzzzzzzzzz’s


June 25 and 26 – We are now on the road again. Headed to Dawson Creek. These are just a few sites along the road. We did not get to use the sun dial…you can see some sky, but the sun was not in view. The pictures of the train bridge is a series of pictures showing the length of the bridge….quite impressive.


Note the name of the gas station




Sun dial at Sangudo


Train bridge - start with picture one and continue onto picture 5. That is how long the train bridge is.










Finally got our Protect-a-tow on…..heard we will have gravel on the road today


I think we will go west to Alaska...note the rain
