Heading West - Spring 2015

Here we are.. Spring 2015. We've already been two nights on the road and I am just now getting to my blog. We were so busy getting ready to go and the days just slipped by.

Travel preparations began with a truck trip to Lethbridge last Tuesday for some minor truck transmission tweaks.  We needed both vehicles as we left the truck for a couple nights.  We brought the RV home Friday, packed and left Sunday. 

Cheers! First time out cocktails.

We began this trip the same as we did last year with a stop in Jaffray, BC.  Old habits, temperature was climbing plus a cold beer was calling.  It just seemed like it was a good time to stop for the night.  It would have been perfect except for those damn trains..  oh yeah, BC camping.. trains.  Regardless, we ended up staying for two nights and night two went better than night one.  Or we are just getting used to those trains.

The first morning we awoke to frozen water lines, but otherwise, smooth travels and we transitioned quickly to our travelling lifestyle and 5th wheel routines.  We slipped across the border to Eureka for a propane and fuel fill-up plus we picked up a couple groceries.  It would seem that this is a regular occurrence at this crossing by the campground regulars.  There were no problems. Easy peasy!

A stop at Kikomun Creek Provincial Park south of Jaffray

Camper wise, this RV Resort is pretty quiet right now.  The permanent park models sit empty and although this place fills for the summer, most of the sites are empty now. 

perogie night! 

A couple from Medicine Hat pulled in after us and parked beside us for the first night.  The site on the other side of our unit is blocked off for the nesting Killdeer who claims that particular site every spring. 

our neighbour to the west

Internet has been sketchy.  Another excuse for not blogging. We are looking forward to relaxing on the Kettle River at Midway.  You got it, exactly where we camped next last year!
