Well, the camping weekend was a blast. We met up with Della’s brother Todd and his wife Gloria who have a seasonal sight next door to Barry and Della’s. We also met Barry and Della’s real good friends Bill and Dorothy who have the seasonal site on the other side of Barry and Della. They have been friends since Barry and Bill went to school. On Saturday afternoon/evening there was a end-of-season “bring what’s in your fridge” potluck that involved about 16 people. The food selection was so abundant and absolutely tasty. To sum up the weekend, we ate, drank and sat around the fire, it sure doesn’t get any better than that. Though it was a bit cool (13° C) and overcast with the odd sprinkle that didn’t deter us. Sadly, we said our goodbyes on Sunday night as we were leaving towards home on Monday and Barry and Della would be heading to work from their trailer early in the morning. sigh……..
Well readers, we are now home. After leaving Virden at 1030 and pulling into Moose Jaw, we decided to press on and head for home. So after filling the truck with fuel and our stomachs with food, we were on the road to Medicine Hat.
To sum up our trip, we were gone 106 days, visited 8 fabulous provinces, travelled 15,768 kilometres of which 10,896 were with the trailer, hooked and unhooked the trailer 32 times, saw the cheapest gas in Winnipeg Mb on Sept 18th at Costco for $0.879 and the most expensive in White River Ont (west of Wawa) on Sept 15th at the Husky for $1.379 (thankfully we didn’t need to fill up…..phew…..) Betty and I had a great time and would we do it again? You bet, in a heartbeat……
Thank you all for following along as we hope that you enjoyed reading about our escapades as much as we did living and writing about them….
