Today we both worked on our computers from cell phone range sitting in the truck about a half mile from the campground gate. We need to find a new, more reliable source of information on cell phone coverage…

At lunch we made the fairly short drive to Wayfarer’s State Park The smoke was again particularly bad. In the picture above the lake is on our left. You’d never know it. We also learned that we’re much more attuned to the sights and sounds of emergency equipment. When we were passed by a fire truck on the highway it dominated the discussion in the car until we arrived at Wayfarer’s.

We scored a site! It’s not a great site as this campground goes, but the area is beautiful, the fishing looks good and there’s a lake for Ranger to swim in. That means it meets all of the minimum criteria.

Kelly has decided to take a week of vacation next week for our visit to Banff and Jasper. As everyone knows, if you want to take a week off you have to get a weeks worth of work done before your vacation. The local little town has all of our needed amenities and we will likely stay here until we make the move to Canada on Friday evening or Saturday morning.
