Catching up–July 19

Do to Verizon so called Text, Voice & Data while in Canada or Mexico, my posting were limited so as to not loose out when we really needed it.

So, we left you, lifting off from the Planet Vulcan and returning to planet Earth and finally landing in the Alberta town of Drumheller:

Press Here for a brief introduction

First day, get setup in an RPI park ($24 Ca), for us, all others up to $60 Ca. Mighty expensive, but this is a camping destination and dinosaur destination.

First night in town was music and cars, along with seeing the many dinosaurs located around the town. To save space and time, I will be posting a link to an album containing all the photos at the end of this post.

We went across another ferry, the ferry was almost as long as the river it crossed, but it has been in existent for many long years.

Our coming here, was two fold, see Drumheller and re-visit with her Canada Cousins. Who knows how long it will before the next visit.

We traveled to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, this definitely was a place to see, with the many exhibits on display. Wow what displays they were.

But, Wednesday, July 18th came and it was time to say goodbye and start our wayward journey back to the USA. This time we are heading southeast and then along TransCan Hwy 1, east. Our trip will take us thru Alberta and Saskatchewan where we will head south to a USA/Canadian Border Crossing. When deciding on location I use this website:

I find good info, especially on road conditions leading to the border.

Rocket Boosting and landing at Drumheller, Ab. Update with Photos

We boosted off around 0930 from the Planet Vulcan. I missed the photo-op of the Starship Enterprise as we were leaving.


As I noted this, but adding a few pounds of air to the right front. Oh well, next time we come thru.


We boosted up (July 12th), and then headed back to planet earth, where we landed on AB Hwy 23, heading north. We drove thru the city of Strathmore. A good truck stop on corner of AB Hwy 817 & 561, Northeast, diesel prices are running 123.9 / liter. Did we pick up any? Nope, but we learned fuel is better value in Alberta then B.C.


We headed east out of Strathmore, on Hwy 561 until we turned north on Hwy 56. All the roads we traveled that day were in excellent shape.


Few photo ops as we mostly saw fields of Canola – bright yellow. Along with field oil pumps and oil drillers.

Once in town, we saw many dinosaurs, just standing on the corner. I think they were waiting on buses, but of course we did not see any buses. We made a turn heading west on Hwy 838, where 11 Km., out we located our CG. We are located in a nice treed spot, river in the back along with 30 amps, sewer & water. Good walking for the pups and us. A doggie area – fenced in. Along with friendly people.

Our short plan, stock up, clean up and prep for family – the Canadian side of the Moore Family, who will be arriving on Sunday and Monday for another cousin cerebration. Another plus is Irene and Armand are coming down from their camp-hosting job up north on Saturday for a few hours.

Today, (Saturday), we are heading to town for the Farmers market. So, feeding, walking and getting ready will be the prime items for now.
