Not a lot of travel today. We are taking a bit of a break over the weekend and take advantage of the lovely weather. Our campsite on Echo Lake PP was on one of the 4 lakes in the Qu’Appelle Valley formed by the Qu’Appelle River. We just drove along the lakes enjoying the smallContinue reading “June 25 Regina SK to Moose Mountain Provincial Park”

June 24 Moosejaw SK to Regina SK
I think summer just might have decided to make an appearance. Another lovely cloudless warm day although rain is badly needed here. Short drive of an hour to Regina through the same prairie landscape. We saw a couple of potash plants in the area. Regina is the provincial capital, a beautiful city with parks andContinue reading “June 24 Moosejaw SK to Regina SK”
June 23 Cypress Hills SK PP to Moosejaw SK
Gorgeous morning and finally warm enough to eat outside. We have a 4 hour drive to Moosjaw, SK via Swiftcurrent, SK. It was my turn to start off driving. Scenery much the same as yesterday, rolling farmland. The trickiest part of the drive was trying to avoid hitting the prairie dogs who always seem toContinue reading “June 23 Cypress Hills SK PP to Moosejaw SK”
June 22 Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, AB to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. SK
Gorgeous morning but still too cool to eat outside. I am beginning to think that may never happen on this trip. We took our time since we are only changing campsites/campgrounds in the same Park between provinces. This Park is divided into 3 blocks: West (Alberta), East ( Saskatchewan) and Center. Its about 40 milesContinue reading “June 22 Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, AB to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. SK”
June 21 Waterton Lakes National Park, AB to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, AB
Today started off sunny but not particularly warm and still very windy. That must be normal for this part of the world. We didn’t rush out as our next destination is only 3 hours away. It’s my turn to drive. Heading east we have the mountains at our backs. Our forward view is the vastContinue reading “June 21 Waterton Lakes National Park, AB to Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, AB”
June 20 Moyie Lake to Waterton National Park, AB
I don’t even know where to start writing up today. It started so innocuous and ended up somewhere we hadn’t entirely planned to be. We got up early and were out of camp before 8 am. It was cold, rainy and foggy. We have about 3 1/2 hours to our final destination of Waterton /Continue reading “June 20 Moyie Lake to Waterton National Park, AB”
June 19 Castlegar BC to Moyie Lake BC
We wanted to visit the Doukhabor Discovery Center in Castlegar which doesn’t open until 10 am. We only have a 2 1/5 hour drive to our next campsite and the timing is perfect. Gave us time to shower and do a load of laundry first. The Doukhabors in Canada Doukhobors are a sect of RussianContinue reading “June 19 Castlegar BC to Moyie Lake BC”
June 17, 18 Harrison Bay to Castlegar via Oliver BC
I am going to combine two days into this blog as they were mostly driving across the Crowsnest Highway (hwy 3) through some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in Canada, from mountain passes to lush fruit growing valleys and desert..all in few hours. The Google Timeline maps will give you an idea ofContinue reading “June 17, 18 Harrison Bay to Castlegar via Oliver BC”
June 16 Nanaimo BC to Harrison RV Park ( Harrison Hot Springs)
Time to leave Vancouver Island, the official start of the return east. We had booked the 11 am ferry from Nanaimo but as it turned out, we arrived at the departure area in time to take the 9:40 ferry. This gives us an extra hour and half on the mainland today. It is cloudy, coolContinue reading “June 16 Nanaimo BC to Harrison RV Park ( Harrison Hot Springs)”
June 15 Victoria BC to Nanaimo BC (Living Forest Oceanside campground)
Tomorrow we take the ferry back to the mainland but this time only from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay (Vancouver). We are a little less than 2 hours to Nanaimo so not a lot of driving today. This was the day we had intended for visiting Victoria but because of the wildfire and not getting toContinue reading “June 15 Victoria BC to Nanaimo BC (Living Forest Oceanside campground)”
