We thought we should be providing our travel miles and recently got a specific request to include it. I will catch it up and then will post it on future blog posts.

6/18 Home to Winnemucca, NV 275 miles @ 6 hours
6/19 Winnemucca, NV to La Grande, OR 370 miles @ 8 hours
6/24 La Grande, OR to Moses Lake, WA 215 miles @ 5 hours

We have one more 250 mile day and then most will be less than 150 miles for awhile.

North of the town of Jasper

The great scenery just went on and on.

So did the wildlife

In addition to this caribou we saw several elk, whitetail deer, and a skinny fox.

The further north we traveled and closer to Grande Prairie we were it changed to high rolling hills covered with pines, spruce and aspen with occasionally some alder. We crossed several rivers and followed some for several miles. There weren’t many towns, in fact Grande Cache was the only one large enough to have a gas station.

The RV Park we are in is the Grande Prairie Rotary RV Campground, a non-profit and the proceeds are distributed back to the community by the Rotary Club. It is on the grounds or adjacent to the local college, lake, and park. It has water and electric hookup and a dump station which is fine as we will be here only two nights.

The Alberta Provincial Flower, the wild rose

We have seen the wild roses everywhere and some are different shades of pink and some have a lavender hue.







Our Campsite

Tomorrow is Canada Day and a Sunday so most stores will be closed. It will be our down day to do some laundry, go to church, and just read or nap. We may need the nap as it doesn’t get dark until 11pm and starts to get light about 3:30am or before. Tonight we will put in the black posterboard cutouts I made for the windows to block the light. The days only get longer from here north.
