Who's driving Chuck.

Buffalo Pound Provincial Park (1 star)

We had a great time in Imperial, finishing off today with a visit to the craft store and bakery. The craft store owner, wife of the mayor, already knew we were in town and that Lee was related by marriage to the Town Administrator. And, the mayor had known Dorothy Zwaal pretty much his whole life.

We packed up around lunch time and it was time for Lez to drive Chuck and the Schooner on the highway. Sure enough, away we went, with a variety of (no swearing on the Road Less Gravelled website) Saskatchewan highway conditions. Luckily, a good stretch of highway 2 south of Imperial had recently been repaved,making it only slightly better than highway 15 from a few days ago. Repaving with one inch of asphalt does not make much of a difference.

We arrived at Buffalo Pound and Lez immediately did a masterful job of backing the Schooner into a somewhat tricky site. What a great feeling, for both Lez and Lee.

Lez marvels: WOW - there ARE two 7 o'clocks in a day. We were actually eating breakfast a 7 a.m. Do not want this to become a habit LOLOL.

So yesterday, Lee said to me, "Ok - tomorrow you are going to drive". I said "ok". I felt ready to tackle 57 feet of moving apparatus down a busy public roadway. Well, Chuck pulls the RV slick as can be. And there is no traffic. The biggest challenge is turning corners and knowing where the Schooner actually turns. Parking - well, if Lee wasn't there to say which way to turn the wheels and for how long we would still be parked on the road. Yes, it felt good to have a successful first day of truly pulling the RV. Driving out of Ordze Cr really didn't count.

HOWEVER. we have 4 photos of the journey for the day. FOUR. And the fourth was one I took out the RV door for the bird at the picnic table. SO, not much to show for a 100k trip. Just teasing dear!

We were both exhausted! and went to bed before 11. Obviously we were both wound up from my first time in charge of 480 horses. LOLOL
