Calgary, Alberta

     Pine Creek Campgound is clean and has lots of space, but it is right on the highway.  There are lots of rules about no rugs, no laundry or towels or ANYTHING outside the RV and no barbecue grills on the picnic tables.  It is a little to restricted for us casual campers.
     Calgary is a big and growing town.  The TV news said that home prices are soaring.  We had to drive 2/3 of the way around the city to get to the campground while it was raining.  We were happy to quit for the day and unhitch the trailer when we finally got here.
     We went to a nearby shopping center to run errands.  We needed a Scrabble dictionary, some hardware for the RV and a bigger memory chip for the PDA.  We had dinner OUT and not in the RV.  Our first meal out since we started.
     Now we are having a great camping evening - sitting at the picnic table in the late sun.  Sunset is after 10 pm.  The sky is clear and we don't have the little heater running tonight to keep us warm.  We talked with Matt tonight and gave him an update.  All is well there, too.
