Rolling the Wheels On the Trailer

Sunset and Open Range

Well it's time to move on. We have been here in Calgary and Cochrane for six weeks now and have really enjoyed our time at Bow RiversEdge Campgound.

 It was situated close to the Bow River so our morning walks mostly were along the rivers edge. Just outside the camp is an off leash dog run where we would encounter many types of dogs and owners.

Sometimes the dog were curious about us and would come close for a smell but mostly they just ran with their noses to the ground and other dogs rear ends.

Glen Eagle Golf Coarse

The last couple of walks Lorraine and I headed up the hill and walked the trials overlooking the valley. One day we dropped into a golf coarse to see all the golfers waiting for the go ahead to tee off. The grass had frost on it and until it was warmer no one was even allowed to stand on it. They had to stay on the paved path.

The weather here has been very good.

It's only in the last week that the over night temp has been dropping below zero. The trailer is keeping us comfortable during the cooler times of the day. We have a ceramic heater that we keep plugged in and with that and the electric fire place it stays warm enough that the gas furnace doesn't have to come on. Oh I should mention that we had to add a second plexi glass panel to our front window. All the other windows in the Open Range Trailer are double pain. So now we don't have to mop up the condensation on the front window like we did when it was only a single pain of glass.

We are rolling the wheels on the trailer on November 1st. That will give us a full six months to be south of the really cold weather.
