To Regina - June 22
Turns out, the problem in the truck was the Master Air Flow Sensor. Thankfully, the folks at Wheaton GMC in Saskatoon were able to fix it up and get us on the road within 3 hours. They were fantasic - Dan and Mark helped me set the trailer into the parking lot and then re-hitch as we drove off. Even though they got the problem sorted out quickly, it was still after noon when we finally hit the road. We decided to head towards Regina on Highway 1 - staying on the main roads especially for the first few hours of the trek! We weren't able to get ahold of any friends and it turned out the science centre climbing wall is only open on weekends until July. But, we decided to stop anyway and have a nice relaxing night. We ended up at Kings Acres Campground where the people were friendly and helped me back into our spot. I have to say the trailer is SO easy to back up. I think it's a combination of the tandem axle and the training I received from Kevin on how to drive it! Our neighbours were also super friendly - they used to work in a trailer shop and told me most people are not hitched properly so they had to do their own measurements and were impressed with the work done by the folks at Arrkann! So, our first night! Very exciting but very cold. Thank goodness for the propane tanks and the furnace. I shook my head when I was shown that feature - saying I'm a fair weather camper but I guess not. Although, I don't think I will ever be as daring as our neighbours who have been in the campsite since LAST May - can you imagine? All winter - and the trailer is the same as ours but just a bit bigger. Yeah - I'm not quite there.... At least not yet!
