After picking the motorhome up from Westend RV Repairs at noon, our next destination for the rest of Day 44 of the trip – Friday, June 8th – was Rocky Mountain House National Historic Site. I’d visited the site before in 2013, but in early May when nothing was...

The first day of our 3-week wander back to Whitehorse was Day 43 of the trip – Thursday, June 7th. Rocky Mountain House was the day’s destination, and I wanted to have a good look at both the community and the historic fur trading posts site. I love the...

Day 42 of my RV trip – Wednesday, May 6th – was our last full day in Cochrane and Airdrie. The next day, I had an appointment to get a repair done on the Tracker and then we began Part 3 of the trip – a 3-week wander back...

We arrived at the Bow Riversedge Campground in Cochrane on Day 34 of our RV trip – Tuesday, 29th. I had reserved 6 nights there, but things got so busy that I added one more night, then added another two. After having wonderful weather for almost the entire trip...

On Day 32 of our RV trip – Sunday, May 27th – the big event of the day was a 2-hour boat cruise on Upper Waterton Lake. The weather on Saturday hadn’t been great, but Sunday was as perfect a day as we could have ordered to be on...

Our next destination after Crowsnest Pass was Waterton Lakes National Park. Although I generally title my posts “exploring…”, Waterton was more significantly a discovery – our discovery of a park we knew very little about, but is now, for both Cathy and I, our favourite national park. For a...

Our exploring of the Crowsnest Pass lasted a bit over 24 hours, but it was enough to convince to return for a longer period. After hitting the major sites on my list of must-sees during the main part of Day 29 of our trip – Thursday, May 24th –...

Although we didn’t have a specific destination in mind when we left Sparwood, exploring historic sites through the Crowsnest Pass was the plan for Day 29 of our RV trip – Thursday, May 24th. While we did a lot of exploring, we only put 51 km on the motorhome,...

On Wednesday, December 13th, I began the 60-hour drive home. I had planned to start by heading west on Highway 1, but my son suggested that I take Alberta Hwy 11, the David Thompson Highway. He said that it was spectacular, particularly the section that runs along Abraham Lake....
