Hi All: Another day on the road, and we are now in a campground in Pink Mountain. I am sure we cannot prove there is a Pink Mountain here today. At about 0400 this morning it started raining in Toad River, and has been raining ever since. We did not have any cell phone service yesterday so Amy could not make any camping reservations for tonight until we got to a place we had service. She called the campground here in Pink Mountain and found they only had one site and it only had electricity only. She did make the reservation though, but did call several other campgrounds all the way to Dawson Creek, 150 miles farther down the road and could not get a site that we did not have to unhook the car and dolly to get in to, SOOOO. We are here in Pink Mountain with only electricity, and 15 amp at that. We do have super WiFi though. No water. We do have a water tank half full though. No TV. WE do have DVD's. Not even any radio. WE do have CD's with music though, so we are really in good shape for tonight. Leave in the morning for Chetwynd, about 225 miles down the road. Amy did have enough Cell phone service here to make reservations there, so we will have water at least there?? hee hee.

Photo above is of a Momma Moose that crossed the road in front of us. Kinda blurry as the camera tries to focus in on the rain on the windshield....


Traveling the roads today was sure tough. At times we went over the mountains and were in the clouds. Could not see more than 50 feet in front of the Motor home. Hit one area that a sign said "Extreme Dusty Conditions" Well, the dust was still on the road, but with all the rain it was now brown mud. The motor home and car are a mess now. JoAnn said I'll be lucky if they don't charge me for taking part of Canada back to the United States. I must have 700 or 800 pounds of Canada hooked to the Motor Home now. Cannot even wash rigs in most campgrounds. Had to wait till we got to Arizona last time we were up here.

Above is a better shot of the Momma Moose and Baby after they crossed the road in front of us. they did stand there for Amy to get a shot of them thru the side window. Less rain on the side I guess. At last Amy got to see her Moose. We did also see a pasture of Bison we passed, but it was raining so bad we could not get a photo of them. They were in a fenced in area, so must be a Bison Farm...??
Hope we have a nicer day tomorrow...
