DaGirls Rv Travels: #dry camping

Friday, March 15, 2024

Hello, it's been awhile

It's been: 206 days, or 29 weeks & 3 days, or 6 months & 22 days, since our last post.

We left off with smoke, fires, alpaca farms and photos of our crossing back into USA.

Sorry for the delay, but sometimes we just get writers block.

So, maybe I can make up for it. We spent some time at our cabin in Show Low, making minor repairs, seeing friends and ensuring everything was good. Then spent the better part of November until to day in Yuma. Remodeling the Cavco's bathroom, designing and building a new Outdoor Cowboy kitchen, making upgrades to water faucets. Traveling to Lake Havasu for Alfa Roadrunners Fall Rally. Then onto Quartzsite in January for Winter Rally.

Right now we are prepping to leave Yuma on Sat or Sun., and head to Tucson, for the FMCA FIESTA DEL SOL rally. It's a four-day, five-night event filled with activities, seminar and fun things to do. Our last FMCA rally was in 2016.

We expect to see some old friends, meet new ones and have a fun filled 4 days.

By the way, all of this would not have been possible without the help of Rudy, Beata, Dave and Willie.

Canada's No Sense Approach or Day 17

Ok, let me start with Canada Common Sense approach. We have landed back at Swan Lake Campground in Fraser Lake, BC. As luck would have it we scored #1, Venable's scored #2. And right know Jeff is using a hammer and pounding on something metal.

Anyway, let's get back to the common sense approach. Notice the photos below? Well there is a dock that was rehabilitated back to it's glory in 2005. As you can see Dakota and I walked on it to the end. This is similar to 2015 where it was Susan, Tilly Della and me. At the end of the dock is a ramp leading down to the water. What they did was put 2, 2x10 to block the entrance down. Notice how easy it would be to climb over.

Now in the states, they would install a 10 ft chain link fence, along with cameras, alarms and what not. Well here in BC, check the final photo. Canadians figure if you don't have enough sense then it is not their issue. They warned you.

I call this pretty funny.

Anyway, let's carry on with the report as to how and why we got where we are. The last one sent out we were in Jasper, AB, staying at a National Park exactly 2 spaces from 2015, except this time, it was calving season. The females were off somewhere doing their birthing and we did not see too many elks.

On the Saturday we arrived we droved into town, stopped had dinner with a lovely couple from Ontario who invited us to share their table.

Prior to dinner, we spied a car show taking place, which gave us a few photo ops.

The next day, Sunday, we boarder the SkyTram and went to the top of the Mountain for some amazing views and Brunch.

Sunday night, wait, there is no night. At 10pm it's the same as 5pm. Anyway, goal is to get up early and head to Prince George. Where we will meet up with Jeff and Linda, and travel together for awhile.

We arrived at the Casino, I thought it was a good idea, based on the reports I read. Not so, as Monday afternoon rolled in, here came all the big rigs.
