July 17 (Grand
Prairie, Alberta)
There was a nice air-conditioned trailer at Fort Nelson,
which was nice cause Roger and I spent a good bit of today there. Travis & Alana drove into town to try
& fix the tire, and after working at it for a couple hours it still isn’t
quite right. He got the stud he needed
but couldn’t get it installed correctly, so it’s still not quite right, but is
better. After he called to say they were
on the road, we finally took off and headed toward to Fort St. John, where we
got a bite to eat and waited for them to arrive. When they got there we cooked our supper in
the parking lot, off the tailgate, and then kept on going to Grand Prairie,
Roger and I driving, Travis and Alana flying. We lost another hour and it was depressing to
find out it was midnight instead of 11 when we met up again! And we didn’t know where we were going to
sleep. Some smaller airports are ok with
sleeping right at the airfield, but some of the bigger ones that is not
possible. Travis had spent a bit of
looking for campgrounds online while they waited for us to arrive, so we headed
toward a campground, but turned out there was no tent camping there. It was after midnight, we were tired, and
decided maybe a motel was a better option, but the first one we went to was in
a bit of a sketchy neighborhood with a bar next door and with all Travis and
Alana’s belongings on the back of the truck decided that wasn’t the place for
us. Anyway, we finally got a room and
crashed. It was rather nice to be in a
regular bed after tenting every night so far.
