Wow, what an adventurous day... 12 hrs and another 800 miles. We both slept so good last night, so did the dogs. They didn't even wake up once, which is rare. So we woke up to a flat tire on our trailer but no worries, being so prepared we have a portal pump in the truck,
DONE! Unlike yesterday, we drove through some amazing country today. Canada is beautiful, I just couldn't believe it. It's a very country feel, lots and lots of farming and ranch style homes every 10 miles or so. Its nice to see so much open land, unlike Utah. Its very very green with beautiful yellow pastures. There are HUGE rivers everywhere with ginormous trees. Loved loved loved it! We didn't stop as much today, but the 12 hour drive went super quick, we would've kept going except for the fear of driving in the night with deer and moose on the road! The dogs did good in the truck again, except for KO peeing on the driver seat. I kid you not, I get out of the truck run in to the restrooms, run out to let them out and the accident was done, but again no worries, with some water and a rack to soak it up and (being prepared again) the upholstery cleaner I got it all taken care of,
DONE! We drove through beautiful Calgery and Edmonton and Grand Praire then reached the British Columbia border drove through Dawsons Creek and decided to end the day in Fort St. John. Just crossing the BC border, there were moose crossing signs everywhere, can you believe it! So I was on the look out for a moose and not five min later Jeff spotted one... I was having a fit! First moose of the trip...
DONE! Then pulling into Fort St. Johns after advising Jeff to slow down (no fun calculating kilometers to miles) and of course we get pulled over. The officer was super friendly and laughed that we were up here clear from Utah. So we got a warning since it would be a pain to pay for a ticket. He clocked us going 91 in a 70 (aka 55mph in a 45 zone). First encounter with the funny dressed Canadian cops...
DONE! So overall a very successful and an amazing day.
KO loves sleeping right on the center console just waiting for one of us to roll down our window so he can stick his head out!!! Chewy just enjoys the backseat to himself.
Are there such things as a dog model, we sure could use some extra cash to pay for this road trip, ha ha ha!
