Home Sweet Home - July 24 - 28

Five days – that’s long it took us to get home after we left Fredericton.

Here’s some highlights along the way:

On July 25 we were able to catch up with friends of ours who moved to Newfoundland 4 years ago.  What are the odds but this year they decided to come back to Alberta and pick up their RV which they left here?  We had thought we would meet as we both took the ferry to her house but had our plan worked out the way we had thought, we wouldn’t have run into them in Deep River, ON!


On July 26 as we left our campsite in Sault Ste Marie we realized we had a flat tire.  We filled it up hoping it would be OK and left the campground.  As we were driving out we spotted a baby black bear.  At first we thought it was a dog but no it was definitely a bear.  We had been warned by the campground owner there were bears in the area but really hadn’t given it much consideration.  Best to take that kind of advice seriously!

Later, we needed to change tires and had some great folks help us put on the spare.  And, then we stopped in Wawa where the Royal Tire folks were great about fixing the problem and switching the tire back! 

July 28, as we crossed the border in Lloydminster and got gas the rain greeted us! 

Wow, am I ever hoping we hitched the sunshine on the bumper!  And, finally at 9 PM instead of pulling into a campsite as was our regular routine, we pulled into home!
