The Third Day of the Trip Down South

Wednesday June 4, 2008

Well, we have stopped for the night after just under 700 miles for the day. Right now we are in Claresholm, Alberta. It is south of Calgary and about 100 miles north of Montanna. It is 10:15 pm and we stopped for the night.

Mom & Dad and the empty & full trailers that we needed to switch!!

Now we did have a slow start...no I don't mean we slept in. That is impossible for my father who woke at 5am because it is light outside. We are up early and if you remember we had change the tires. Well the tire place was suppose to open at 7am, so we were there at 6:50 am, but really they opened at 8am. So we just sat in the car. Great way to start the day! After looking at the trailer, the tire people realized they only had one tire and we needed 2. They also realized that it was not the tires, but the trailer's axel or something was bent wrong so that it wore out the tires on the inside. So just after 8am we decided that it might be better to switch trailers...so we unpack and then pack it as it began to rain. We barely got everything back in, but my dad is an amaizng packer. Whoohoo Dad!

So we drove like crazy people from Fort St. Johns, BC to Clareshom, Alberta. It is actually almost the entire distance of the atlas map...or almost the total length of Alberta-up and down not sideways! Crazy. A Beautiful Waterfall

Dad did stop for some waterfalls and some rams...but other than that all of our scenery pics had to be taken out of the moving car window! Hello....sort of blurry. Anyhow, we are alive and my mom is watching Spaceballs, my dad is showering, and I am emailing you. Which, by the way means that it is late and my parents are going to bed...so Goodnight.
