Alberta

Mid-June
Look at this giant Pysanka Egg! (see Rhylee at the bottom?)20180614_163247

We stayed at a city campground in a park in Vegreville AB- much of this area was settled by Ukranians- thus the egg. The park had an ice cream truck- YAY! and then a farmers market- we bought local, greenhouse tomatoes and baked goods- Haskap (native to this area) berry tart and lemon bread. Such treats! Everyone in this town was so friendly and helpful; several Walmart staff offered assistance (we must have looked confused or from away 🙂 as well as the park staff and farmers market vendors.
There are many small camping areas along the highway in this area- some are owned by the highway dept., some are local, some are provincial, some are free and some are not. Hornbeck Creek PP

right along the creek, nice spots, no services- but with all this SUN our solar power system is charged ever day by noon and Clare has the inverter system up and running and we can run everything but the AC and microwave!

Clare traveled this routeIMG_0887 50 years ago with his grandparents on their way to Alaska. We found parts of the old road out this way.

    Lovely areas that you are seeing. Just read all of your travels to this date. Glad all is going well. Phil is much better. Still having seizures so meds are adjusted as they occur. Memory is slowly coming back..still has short term memory loss. Today’s weather is hot with a heat index of 103 F. Our pool is open and getting warm.
    Phil and I are glad that you are doing what he wanted to do in the US many years ago. Oh well, we will live it through your travels. Stay safe and keep writing. The pictures are beautiful.
    Take care.
