Just Keep Driving, Just Keep Driving....


Well, we don't have very much to report...well nothing too exciting. We left Sault Ste Marie and drove to Schreiber, ON which is about 2 hours before Thunder Bay. We were hoping to get to Thunder Bay, but we ran into a little RV problem. We thought that the transmission was acting a little funny, so we stopped in White River, ON at a Husky and talked to the mechanic there. After some checking and some deliberation we decided to go on to Marathon and see how it was acting. We took the number of the 24 hour towing co. and headed out. The RV acted just fine so we continued to Schreiber. It was getting late so we found a campground and had supper and went to sleep. The next morning we went into the Ford dealership in Schreiber and Dave talked to the mechanic there who came out and checked the trany fluid and short story, all seemed fine and we continued on our journey.


After Schreiber we drove to Dryden, ON. Not much to report, just driving and sleeping at the campground. There is a pic of Kate and Becca playing at the playground at the campground in Dryden. (Side note: Dryden is the home town of Chris Pronger, for all the hockey fans out there, and we camped next to a fellow who once coached him)


Anyway, today we drove to Oak Lake, Manitoba. What....you never heard of it? We hadn't either, but it is a lovely little town with a very nice campground. It is about 2 hours from the Manitoba/Sask. border. Tomorrow we hope to at least get to Swift Current, Sask. and then on to Didsbury, Alberta to see the Pearson Family the following day. (See you Tues. Laurie and Damien! - if plans change we'll let you know)


In one of the pics below, you will see a guy on a motorcycle. I don't know if you can see it very well, but he has his dog on the back of his bike. The dog was wearing a bandana and a little skull cap helmut. It was very cute. There is also a pic of Landon and Becca on the ferry and Nathan, bored with the scenery, so he has picked up a book to read....he's very gifted!!! :)


Well good night all. TTYS
