Northern Alberta Again

 We are back in Northern Alberta, Canada

Well it's been a while since but we moved back up north as Cranbrook, British Columbia didn't really work out quite as planned.

Raewyn's work finished around xmas and Working for Optimistic just wasn't worth my time or effort. You can read my rant in a previous post so we packed up and left on the March the 25th. It was a fairly uneventful trip north but there was an issue as the weather was still into the the minuses at night I figured that the single battery does not hold enough power to run the furnace over night so we decided pick up a generator in Olds, Alberta. 

Our route was pretty much the way that we went south to Cranbrook, BC. Hwy 3 to the princess highway 2 north through Cowtown, Edmonton. We stayed at a Truck stop Junction 42, it's near Gasoline Alley (Red Deere, AB) and if you are familiar with the area Gasoline Alley is nolonger truck or anything longer than 35 feet in length for that matter.

Junction 42 is just a large truck stop with parking area. We parked on the side so that we wouldn't end up with a refrigerated unit or a Swift driver parking next to us. Well the purchase of the generator was a good idea as it was a cold night with lots of snow. We drove to Edmonton, Alberta and up to Peace River where we stayed the night as it was too late to book in to the RV park.

It took about 2 days to get ready to leave Cranbrook as we had to remove all the skirting and store everything ready to move.

Most of the materials used in the wood framed skirting and foam insulation (about $250 CAD) was thrown/given away. One of my goals for 2021 is to make fabric skirting for the RV then at least you can stick insulation to the inside of the skirting, roll it up when finished and take it with you.
