Things are really wet out here. A lot of fields flooded and the rivers are almost overflowing their banks. In some places they have. This RV Park we are staying at even lost some of their trees during a rain and wind storm last week.
We are in the process of changing our travel plans as the TCH in southern sections of Alberta is washed out and will be closed for some time now. Looks like we will have to reroute to the Yellowhead Trail and enter BC through Banff or Jasper. We'll make that decision next week.
Several towns and cities in southern Alberta and Sask. have declared emergencies due to flooding. The forecast for that area tonight and tomorrow is another 50 to 60 mm of rain.
Of course, all this wet weather and wet ground has the mosquito population booming. If we had small dogs or kids we would have to tie them down as the mosquitos would carry them away. Even bug spray does not slow them down.
However, lots of people traveling in their RVs in spite of the wet weather and bugs. This park we're in is almost full every night.
We're here for the next week so I don't expect that there will be many posts in the next few days. As soon as we decide which direction we'll go next week, we'll let you know.
Quote for the day:
A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done.
Cheers
