Heading to USA

we got the RV back after guaranteeing payment personally,  loaded it up and left Calgary at 9:30 am.  Sherry still has all the refrigerated food.
we got to the border and they pulled them over for agriculture inspection.  We said we had no food so we got pulled over also.  We really only had mustard and honey.
Smoke so thick, you can't see ahead

RV trouble in Lake Louise

Went to check out and the RV would not go into Drive.  We could drive it in reverse, but not in drive.  It is in low 40's raining, snow on the mountain and we are talking with Allison and arranging a tow through Good Sam Road Service

entertaining ourselves for 3 hours in the cold RV


Had to pull out the blankets

three hours later Colin began the 1 hour set up to tow RV




Nice day for a 100 mile tow in rain and even snow
