On the road at last......

Insurance sorted, essential supplies sorted, satnav acquired......time to go. The plan is to cross Canada and be in Vancouver to meet up with Archie for mid June. Heading north across the top of Lake Superior it began to get a bit chilly. Looking out to the horizon on the lake were icebergs! We can drive about 300 kms a day then pitch up for a couple of nights. Horseshoe Bay was fun, really nice people and a curious chipmunk visited us. I put some Bombay mix down for him, havent seen him since........... On again to Blueberry Hill, what a dump of a campsite. People living in trailers, trucks in various stages of decay, kids screaming and dogs barking all night. Advertised pool had an oil film on the surface that reminded me of the Torrey Canyon. Just the one night there then and on Marathon and a smallish site in the forest. Bleddy freezing heavy rain, put the heating on and the kettle for a cuppa and blew all the fuses! The man said "only one appliance at a time". Also the pipes are all still frozen so we have no running water to connect, lucky we have a 55 gallon tank of fresh water on board. Saw a moose on the roadside but no bears yet.
