Good Morning, y’all.

After being detoured in Regina, Saskatchewan with no directions at the end to turn right or left in a very busy traffic jam, amongst the new overpasses and underpasses surrounding the city, I used my senses for north and south to find my way back to the main highway. GPS took a vacation not recognizing the new infrastructure. :roll: I had to go north in an opposite direction where south would have seemed better. My guess is it would loop back, and I was right. Luckily we didn’t end up in the Arctic or across the border. :lol: After rain and some fog all day across Saskatchewan and into Alberta I decided to drive in it with less traffic on the highway and we made it to Medicine Hat, where a hotel was supposed to be just off the highway but, again, GPS took us on a joy ride looping off the highway in a weird direction. I knew what the hotel chain name sign looked like and hunted it down only to find the hotel full because I neglected to call ahead in case I would drive on to the next destination. Apparently, the city was full of travellers; however, a nice desk clerk told us where a couple of rooms were available not far from where we were. We even saved on the room and now it’s time for breaky and then on to the Rockies today.

Have a great Hump day. :D

Good Morning gang.

Looking out our courtesy upgraded hotel room window at a beautiful sunrise coming over the Rockies rolling hills at Kamloops.

As Willie puts it, “On the road again”. Going to hit Vancouver today. Stopped at a brew pub yesterday for in house craft beer batter halibut and freshly made chowder. Zowie both were good.

Now it’s time to check out the breakfast and a hunt for a week’s stay at a hotel.

Have a great Thursday everyone.

Good morning, everyone.

Have a safe drive, Gary and Mrs. FSB, and try not to "hit" Vancouver too hard. :lol:

The first half of the “Highway Thru Hell” was a sunny day, and the second half brought light rain. All in all it was smooth riding. :D
Not so much with GPS blunders that sent us on a wild goose chase where we found ourselves on the wrong far side of town by Whistler. :lol: Had I not recognized some of the area we would have added hours from our destination. The GPS app used was Navmii. It used to be great (at least the graphic design still is) IMHO; but, even close by destinations gets crazy routing at times. To be fair, other GPS contributors have similar issues. Less of a problem on less congested areas and fiat topography. Not so great in mountainous forested areas, amongst bridges, major car traffic. and difficult road signs, etc. Sometimes, gut feelings are needed for correction, and I’m treating myself to vacation food and drinks. :lol:
After passing a dinged VW Beetle facing oncoming traffic earlier, we watched 3 cop SUVs in line rushing somewhere while 4 fire trucks blocked the highway we left behind with a correcting u-turn. That made the morning interesting. :shock:
Looking forward to Friday 13th tomorrow. I wonder what surprises will be in order. :P

Good morning, Paul. Hope the weather is treating you fine for your walks, that winter cold hasn’t yet set in, and that you’ll have clear skies today. Not a good day for wearing a toque out here in Vancouver. Expecting rain all day here. In fact, rain is expected for the next 9 days (typical here) except for next Friday! :roll:
Speaking of that . . .
Happy Friday 13th everybody.
Make sure it’s a good one. :D

It was colder here today, but not toque hat weather yet. It's also been rather humid, even though the temps are lower.

Good morning, everyone, and happy full-moon Friday the 13th!

I finished my outdoor chores early this morning because it's supposed to reach 106°/41° today. Of all days, it's supposed to be mostly cloudy tonight. I hope to get a peek at the Harvest Moon.

Have a great one, my friends!

A funny thing about traveling. If you’re like me you’ll find the world carries on without you. A lot of times I miss out on the latest local, national, or international news only because my attention is elsewhere.

35 years ago last week (September 8, 1974) I drove the highway past a very long lineup of cars in Idaho. There were no structures to speak of on the adjacent field leading to somewhere. I thought this country scene might have been an event or, perhaps, an auction. Later that day I and Mrs. FSB pulled into a motel, turned on the TV, and discovered I had missed the chance to see history in the making. It was this:



Guess I’ll grab a coffee and check the morning news here in the hotel,

Have a terrific Saturday my friends.

FSB
