Happy Birthday Riley.  It was great to see you again.

What a surprise when we woke up this morning, snow and heavy frost on the ground.  None of this was in the forecast – it was funny to hear the weather forecasters trying to explain what was going on.

We checked the road conditions and all seem to be ok, so we headed out.  We quickly learned that there was no heat coming from the dash area, there was heat in the rest of the coach though so those heaters had to work overtime to keep the coach warm.  The worst part was our feet, so whenever we stopped we warmed up our feet.  The sun shone brightly and this made our trip uneventful, keeping the roads dry.

We took the backroads most of the way as there is very little traffic and somewhat more scenic that taking the freeway.

We arrived at John and Debbie’s place about 4:30pm, after fueling up and seeing if we could dump the grey and black water, but everything is closed.  Will have to wait till we get to Valemount, then we can add water as well.

Debbie had dinner waiting for us, chicken, potatoes, carrots, broccoli salad and a green leaf salad.  Well, I mentioned to her that the dinner was delicious, and John says “Is that all”, what about the saying on the blog, so I had to think about it, then I corrected myself and told her that it was both “delicious and Yummy” LOL.

Special People today – Riley, Tracey and Matthew – thanks for coming down and visiting us.  It sure was nice to see you all again.
