July 4, 2009 - We have not done much today. My driver needs to stay settled after the driving. We stayed around camp all day and cleaned the coach and did laundry. It does not get dark until after 11 pm so the fireworks were after 11. They were really good for a campground and we saw more displays in the distance. I got my first opportunity to take photos after dark. It was definitely a learning experience.
July 5, 2009 – We headed for Canada bright and early. The weather was calm and clear. I had anticipated all kinds of problems at customs. We drove up handed over our passports and were asked three questions and sent on our way. Almost a disappointment! The farms are huge and far between and you can see forever. The park was easy to find and very organized. We drove up, a woman came to the coach door, took our name, crossed it off her list, and directed the golf cart to our site. We unhooked and went to get the car washed and to Safeway. Our first Canadian experience was to find the carts locked. You have to pay 25 cents to use one. When we got back and Charles checked out the park, he found you have to pay to use the showers. Needless to say he is showering in the coach.
July 6, 2009 – The main street of Cochrane is lined with small specialty shops. We spent the morning looking at things and making a few purchases. We finished just as it started to rain. It rained all afternoon.
July 7, 2009 – Today was the big day! The tour orientation was at 3:30 pm with snacks and visiting. There are nine coaches of retired LA firemen on our tour. At 5pm the country and western music started and continued until 7 pm. Right after the music we got in line for a western barbeque meal. By the time we finished it was 8 pm and the sun was still high in the sky. Time to head for the coach and get ready for an early day tomorrow. The bus leaves at 7:30 am.
Joke of the day—WHAT DO YOU CALL CHEESE THAT IS NOT YOURS?
Nacho Cheese!
