TRAVEL DAY
From: Val Marie Campground, Val Marie, SK.
To: Val Marie Campground, Val Marie, SK.
Day 342 – Huh? We went from Val Marie Campground to Val Marie Campground? Yep. Today was a worse day than yesterday. We were supposed to cross the border today, from Saskatchewan Canada to Montana U.S.A. Best laid plans…..

Day 341 – Today was not a great day. It was one of those days when things keep going wrong. We’ve been having trouble with a cranky slide out – the one on the passenger side front. That slide houses Rob’s recliner and table, a storage area, and the cabinet which opens out to become a desk of sorts. A couple of times we had a little trouble getting the slide to go back in straight. But it always went in after a couple of tries. Today when shutting the bedroom slide, a different slide out, it made a noise that didn’t sound right at all AND the passenger side front slide wouldn’t close until Rob forced it by physically pushing that side of the slide in. Not good. (You cannot travel with a slide out – they must be shut.) We went on our way, but Rob knew that he needed to work on this when we got to our next campground. This was just the beginning of our issues today.

To: Willowbend Campground, Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, (SK).
Day 340 – We were up again at 6:45 a.m. knowing we had a longer drive ahead of us. Once we get to destinations where we’re going to stay longer than one night, we’ll slow down. It was 51 degrees (warmer) and very cloudy and hazy. It was still smoky here, but not as bad as it had been.
