July 13th, 2012 –Carvel Ab – Valemount BC

Weather – Sunny, clear and hot

Total Mileage this trip - 2876.9                                  Mileage today -                277.2 

Before I tell the rest of today’s story, I have a few things to talk about John.  John is a Railway Engineer, but his hobby is going to garage, auctions, antique and junk places, Pick-a-Part is one of them.  In 14 months or 
cash register - refurbished - even the tape works

so, he will be ready to retire, and as many things he says, “wait till I retire”.  Oh my, he will be a hundred years old before he can retire from all the projects he has.  Other than the many “Honey To Do” items on the list I will show you some pics.

84 Bluebird – always something to do (putting up ceiling lights in garage)
52 Oldsmobile 98
52 Ford Ranch Wagon (my favourite)
1930 ?? – this one really needs work LOL

AND these that do not need much work, just to get out and enjoy.
 1954 Ford Pickup
1930 Model A?
 Early 70’s Boler (mother-in-law suite behind the 84 BB??)
Ahhh, John and Debbie, just have fun with all your toys, see you again soon.
We said our goodbye to them and headed west – my fortune cookie the night before told me that as I head West, I will find unexpected happiness.

As we were travelling west, Vadie ate an avocado, after her last bite, her tongue and throat felt tingly.  She asked where the closest hospital was, and we were still about 30 miles from Edson Ab.  She took some Benadryl and we headed to the hospital.  The doctor examined her, found that she had high blood pressure and the back of her throat was swollen.  He believed that it was an allergic reaction to the avocado, and suggested that she eats no more at least till she gets home.  All of this added an additional 2 hours to our trip, but at least she feels fine again.

We kept an eye out for Gerry's place, he has a lot of old buses, motorhomes, cars and other things there.

Coming through the park, we saw caribou as well as mountain goats, male, female and kids.
 Goats and kids
Hwy 16 west
We arrived at Stu and Theresa’s, parked the coach and trailer, then went to a fund raising party for some local women with cancer.  There was a good turnout and the food and music was great.
