June 21st – Hwy 22 to Municipality of Taber
Campground
Another beautiful morning, we left the roadside pullout and
headed toward Lethbridge Ab. I knew of a
truck shop there, so I went in and got a new master switch. Now all I have to do is install it. We met Lori Gibson there and decided where we
should go. Two choices, a resort at
$54.00 per night or camping at a Municipal Campground at $25.00 per night. Since our main intention was to spend time
with the Gibson family, camping was in order.
They are the owners of a 1964 GMC Transit coach which is
converted. It was purchased by their
parents John & Lil Wilbor, who are now elderly and
cannot use it anymore, so it was passed onto Tim and Lori Gibson.
Lori mentioned when she saw us, that they would really like
to go camping but they were having a problem with their coach, the suspension
would not air up. Lori and I looked for
the problem in the afternoon, and then later in the evening Tim and I looked
for the problem again. Alas, we found
the problem, a simple fix, open a valve which had been closed, so tomorrow
night they will join us.
We headed to Tabor Municipal Campground which is located in
a valley on the Oldman river. It is a
very nice campground but certainly not big rig friendly. We were towing the car hauler, so we unhooked
it and left it in the car park. We then
went to dump and fill up with water, as they only provide 15 amp service – hmmm
Vadie is really learning how to conserve energy (as long as she doesn’t turn on
the security lights hehe. We could not
drive all around the dump site, so we got as close as we could, dumped and
filled with water, then backed out watching out for the overhanging trees as
well as the trees themselves.
We had walked the campsite, and found a site that would fit
two coaches, so we left Lori’s new Dodge Challenger there (black on black), and
then went to get the coach. Needless to
say it was interesting to wind through the trees to get to our campsite. We are now here for the next eight days, got
here early due to the electrical problems.
