(Image is of the lake at Osoyoos, BC) We stayed at Summerland RV Park near Gull Lake. Here is my capsuleContinue reading “Gull Lake and Cochrane, Alberta”

Our Jasper Story
As news of the devastating wildfires in Jasper, Alberta, broke, and the desolation and destruction and heartbreak became clearer, my thoughts turned to our trips to Jasper. We made three trips to Jasper for an extended family reunion on my husband’s side. We would meet at Whistler’s Campground. One of the trips, I was inContinue reading “Our Jasper Story”
British Columbia and Washington
Camping in July 2024 This was Bailey’s first extended road trip and she was a champ. She likes to bark at oncoming traffic though when we are driving on two-lane highways which is cute, but annoying. We embarked at the end of June for BC and Washington. We visited friends in Vernon and Osoyoos, BritishContinue reading “British Columbia and Washington”

The Camping Season that Went Sideways
Sorry for the radio silence…read on to discover why. Earlier this year, we’d mapped out a plan to do a lot of camping in Alberta. We still did a lot of camping, but most of it was for one reason: we were moving cities. In April, we decided to move. Fed up with big cityContinue reading “The Camping Season that Went Sideways”
Last Camping Trip For 2022
Not Exactly As Hoped…Or Advertised… We had a not so great last camping experience this past weekend. We were at Half Moon Lake RV “resort”. We started out pretty hopeful this would be a nice place to camp as it was on a lake, and the drive wouldn’t be too bad to get there. ThingsContinue reading “Last Camping Trip For 2022”
Bow Valley Provincial Park
We spent a few days at the end of August at Bow Valley Provincial Park. (Note, as of 2021, A Kananaskis Conservation Pass is required. The cheaper option is $90 for a year unless you are only going out to the Kananaskis once, as it is $15/day otherwise). This is a great little campground nestledContinue reading “Bow Valley Provincial Park”
Lethbridge, Alberta and Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens

Our month In Osoyoos, BC
This post is long overdue, but better late than never, right? We spent the month of May in Osoyoos. The weather was unseasonably cool and rainy. We managed to make the best of it, nonetheless. One night the temperature dropped to 2C! Our full service site had cable, a total luxury for us as weContinue reading “Our month In Osoyoos, BC”
Destination: Osoyoos, BC
After a quiet fall and winter spent at home, we are getting ready to head out to Osoyoos, British Columbia for a month. We are looking forward to it for a number of reasons. The last few months have been quite chaotic. And, this morning we woke up to this: Ahhh…..springtime in Alberta. Osoyoos, BCContinue reading “Destination: Osoyoos, BC”
