We spent Monday and Tuesday night in Summerland. It was wonderful to see our old friends again. We helped them to celebrate their 49th wedding anniversary Tuesday. Wednesday we headed north through the Okanagan while the Nagles headed to Whistler and then the island for the celebration of the life of our friend Bruce Atkinson this Sunday.
We stopped for the night at Blue River, BC on the Yellowhead Highway. It was a very rustic spot in the trees for our last night on the road.
Thursday, May 22nd
Homeward bound! We left Blue River after a big breakfast. The sun is trying hard to shine. All the rivers and creeks (Fraser, Similkameen and the Thompson) along our route since we left the coast are swollen and close to flooding over their banks and there's still lots of snow to melt along the Hope-Princeton and in this part of the country, too. The last part of the trip from Jasper in to Edmonton seemed to take forever.
Well, we made it after exactly nine weeks on the road with the trusty workhorse, Kingsley! We rolled up to the front door in a rainstorm (what else!) at about 7:00pm. The house and the garden look great...lots to do in the yard but we're looking forward to getting our hands dirty.

Spring 2011 - We were snowbirds from mid-January until mid-April. Our travels with Kingsley included CA, AZ, OR, WA, BC & AB & then to Quartzsite, Arizona. We are not sure where Kingsley will take us next. Stay tuned!
