Sept 2^nd    – Carvel Ab to LLoydminister Ab                                             Weather – Raining 11 C

Total Kilometers this trip – 1677.2                                                             Kilometers today – 301.7

All night long the rain came down, and the wind howled 30 to 50Kph – but the bus kept us dry.

As John would not be home till 9pm or so, we decided to leave for Leask Sask.  We were getting things ready, then performed the light check on the toad – dang it would not work.  After almost two hours of troubleshooting, I got the wiring straightened out, the ground and the running lights at the same time.

Off to Stony Plain to dump grey and black water, then decided to fill up with fuel at Co-op since it was so easy access.

We finally left around 4:30pm and the going was pretty good.  The coach purred like a kitten holding steady at 93Kph (57mph).  We drove through some awful sidewinds and had good tail winds too, but then the rain hit.  Decision to stop at LLoydminister Ab. due to the weather and it was getting late.

We parked in the “No Overnight Parking” then went over to look at the Walmart parking which one is allow to overnight.  When we got back to the coach to move it, I turned on the key and nothing, went to the back and I could hear the solenoid click but the coach did not start. 

So here we sit, I went to one of the stores and they said it was okay to park.  Later in the evening I tried to start it, and it started, hmmm will have to go have a look in the morning if I can see anything.

In the blog, I would like to mention someone special each day.  So today, the someone’s special is oldest daughter Cyndi,  Steve, her husband, children – Jordan, Andrew and Jessica
