We've been rescued.....

Hello from Beautiful British Columbia, my dear friends....

We have been on the road now since July 16th and everything has gone well....until this morning....

Our new RV has handled well, but our faithful truck has developed transmission problems. We are fortunate to encounter this situation right outside Fort St. John, BC which is a major hub for the variety of oilfield services. There are many things we love about Canada and Canadians...the beauty of each province and territory and the wonderful "can-do" and "how can we help" attitude. With a truck that needed immediate servicing, a competent flat bed driver towed it & Mr. Outback to the service center and another very nice driver towed our rv, the girls and myself to a campground and got us settled in. We will know more tomorrow as to what the problem is but at least we have a comfy home to relax in....


... and our own bedroom right up those steps...
The weather is cooperating and though we may have had a set back of a couple days, we are grateful for our surroundings and the kindness of strangers...

I will leave you with an image of our recent stop at Banff/Jasper Provincial Parks - 
Along a milky blue river....

That's all for now...just sitting tight and waiting for Plan B...
Back soon...
