We tested our brakes today when three deer crossed just in front of the RV and truck. If they hadn't kept running at least one would have been on the hood of the truck. The vegetation is cut back quite a ways along the road so that you can spot wildlife before hitting them, but it was too close for comfort. There were many signs warning about moose crossing as well, but we didn't see any.
Most of the dirve out of Edmonton was four-lane highway and pretty smooth. We finally go to an area that is mostly pines and birches and hilly. Much more interesting scenery than the flat farmland of the last couple days.
We added more latches to the cupboards and figured out how to tie down the couch. The road is getting rougher. Today the highest cupboard came open and a 12 pack of pop fell out, BUT not a one broke open. It was iced tea so maybe the less fizzy content is less likely to burst. Seems like every evening we have a bit of maintenance to do to keep everything running smoothly. Thank goodness for my handyman/driver.
Today we got the good news that the very expensive tires on our RV which need to be replaced due to bad axles were reimbursed about 80%. We had the axles and tires replaced before leaving home. Tonight's campground, Camp Tamarak, is nice, clean, shady and full of wild roses. There seem to be lots of long-term campers who are here to work on the pipelines. We grilled some chicken and had a great outdoor meal. I love being on the road.
