Well we are in the desert "glamping". It is so beautiful here. There are about 12 other rv's spread around this area. It is called the BML and it is free camping for 14 days. With our generator and solar panels we can stay that long easy. But we are only staying a few days as we want to get to Tucson and then to Phoenix. The weather has been very hot, 92 degrees yesterday. But today it has cooled off and we have a few clouds. Hopefully it doesn't rain, but if it does that is okay too. It is so peaceful here in the desert. Lots of room to let Jackson run. Last night we BBQ'd chicken and ate outside. It gets really dark when the sun goes down. Jackson stays pretty close at ... read more

Hi everyone, here we are still in Quartsite at the Quail Run RV Park. It was great to get up and see the warm sun....actually it is hot already and it is only 11am. But we are not complaining. First of all I want to add to the last post. Not only did we see Sara, but Bob was there too. He has been there for the past few weeks taking good care of Sara. after Chico, we drove a long day. We drove right to our campsite in Yosemite. Bob kept saying it was 5 or 6 hours.....well you were right. We got there around 6:30pm. But we got set up and sat down for a drink of wine. It was good because we had a evening just to ourselves to get ready for Jason ... read more

Well blog followers, this is the end of the line. We are home....sorry there wasn't any blogging for a couple of days, but no internet. When we left Winnipeg the first nite we stayed in white City, Sask. from my last entry. Last night we stayed in Fort McCloud, Alberta. It was a clean rv park in the middle of nowhere. There wasn't too much to see except when finally we saw some mountains instead of just flat prarie. Now we are home and ready to go back to reality. I have enjoyed the blog and I hope you have too...thank you for coming along with us on this trip and I hope you have enjoyed the blog as much as I have doing it.....untile next trip......... read more

Here are a couple more entries from Gerry's journal: "August 3rd....Had a quiet morning.....we have Jason's two boys...decided to Fishermans Wharf.. Following GPS leads us hither and yawn...between "Recalulating, lost signal, and too often iss guided directions we finally arrive...then the mugwumps want MCDONALDS...so to make a long story short, by the time I find a parking space, which cost 25 cents for 3 minutes...the kids have already eaten. So back to Jason's apartment." Aug 12th...Gering, Nebraska....Sue bought a cheese cake for my birthday...with one candle...seems kind of anticlimatic, but would better way to celebrate 65 than being on the road doing what we really enjoy... "Aug 13th...arrive in Custer, SD it is beautiful and am anxious to explore...maps about Custer show nothing about the battle, asked everywhere....finally find out Custer's last stand...Monta... read more

Well our trip is coming to a close soon. We are back in Canada, sad to see our trip ending, but we are enjoying visiting with our oldest son and his family for a few days. Winnipeg is a beautiful city, just cold in the winter. But this summer the weather is warm and the bonus is no mosquitos.....we have enjoyed the travel through the US. It is so diversified with the many landscapes. We only touched on the places we would like to see, but for another time. We enjoy traveling very much and we know we will be doing it again. ... read more
