16 May – Travel Canada

Woke up to quite – good nights sleep.  We have two large sleeping bags, so we use one on the bottom and one on the top.  The cab over is plenty of room for the two of us, just don’t bang your head when getting into bed.

Followed CA11 to Saskatoon and picked up CA-Rt-16.

CA-Rt-16 to Edmonton and Rt 43 .

Most of the travel was flat with a little tail wind, The place looks like Texas – I-40 between Amarillo and OK city .  Flat and agriculture. the area is mostly agriculture, looks like grain form all the you can see silos. Watch the price of grain this year, looks like every farmer has installed new storage silos.

The 110 Vac inverter worked great for making morning coffee. so far, all the systems are working great.  The furnace turned on a couple times during the night, we have it set to 55 and it got down to 40 outside.

Had to turn up the heat up in the frig, things were just on the edge of freezing.

As I said yesterday, mostly flat, i.e. Texas.  However, in the afternoon, we started picking up mild hilly and trees.

Spent the night in White Court Alberta. Nice campground run by the Lions Club.  Clean, quite, clean showers. That’s why we found a campground tonight, Jodie said I was starting to get ripe 🙂

Nice place to make a stop for the night, get cleaned up, have a good meal at the “Creations Diner”, They’re open 24 hours a day (I’ll post a photo at the next WiFi stop), right next to the Royal Oak motel

Monday Travel – 574 miles – 15.5 mpg – no winds

  1. Welcome Metric-land! We have been trying to figure out our ‘mileage’ converting from litres to Imperial gallons, which is larger than U.S. I think we may have figured it out at last. American gal = 3.8 litres, if that helps you. Imperial used to be (not used now) was 4.5 litres (figures approx.) This site may help. http://www.tdiclub.com/misc/conversions.html

    We look forward to following you on this trip. We are actually on Vancouver Island (our island in the Pacific) on the west coast of B.C.
