After final packing and all the household preparations were done, we left home in Kingsley at 12 noon. We gassed up on our way out of town (south) @ $1.21.9/litre just ahead of the massive increase of about $.14/litre throughout the city due to Tropical storm Ike. We only put in about $100.00 worth. Drove straight south to Olds, AB and the Engmans. Bernie Bartko came later and the five of us had a good visit that evening and the next morning. We watched a great DVD of Bernie & Norm on their fishing trip to Kitimat. Joan Engman had knee surgery a week ago so they are unable to attend the rally in Coeur d’Alene.

We left Olds in the morning after getting more gas @ $1.27.9/litre and drove south to Nanton, by-passing Calgary. There we had a rendezvous with the rest of our little convoy: Carol Gray, Jean & Dick Lyne, Bernie, Alan & me. Everyone was raring to go and it was a perfect day for the journey. We headed west from Nanton to highway 22, south to the Crowsnest and west along #3. We arrived in Cranbrook and spent the night at the Mt. Baker RV park.

We departed Cranbrook about 11:00am PDT after Bernie made some repairs to Carol's 'Ol Yeler'. The gas when we all filled up was $1.33.9. We crossed the border about an hour later. Gas prices...$3.59 to $3.79/US gallon...much cheaper than at home! We drove to Sandpoint, a very pretty little resort/tourist town. All four of our coaches were lined up just off the main street and looked very smart together! Dinner at a cozy micro brewery/bistro and then we backtracked north on the highway to the local Walmart Supercentre for the night. A beautiful moon in the clear sky tonight.
