Another year has started 2012 / 2013

We are off on our early trip to take the motorhome down to St George for storage.  With any luck it will be a bit of a vacation as well.
Monday Oct 8th - we went to Edmonton & saw mother for a visit.  It was really cute, she had bought a package of Dads cookies for us so we would have something to munch on during our travels.  God Bless her.  We left her in good spirits and made it to Red Deer, not a great travel day, but when you live in GP, nothing is close.  LOL  Spent the night at the Westerner rv park.  Oh yes, took the Anthony Henday to Sherwood Park when leaving Edmonton.  Now you may ask - are you sure that is on the way.  Well if you have to ask, you don't know I missed the blasted turnoff in the construction zone, so got to see it again about 20 minutes later.  Arghhh! 
Tuesday Oct 9th - All day yesterday, the new tires on the front of the coach seemed to be thumping, so went in to Fountain Tire in RD.  They were very good, took us in fairly quickly and re-balanced the two new front tires.  Not sure what went wrong, but there was no charge, just one of the advantages of dealing with a large company I guess.  It was after lunch by the time we got out of RD, but it was good timing for going thru Calgary, middle of the afternoon.  Made it all the way to Milk River, where we spent the night.  A Bit of a surprise as the park was full and we had to stay with no services, good thing this unit is fully self contained.  Usually we encounter 2 or 3 other snowbirds staying the night.  Apparently there is so much pipeline and oil patch work the park has been full for quite a while.
