Alaska-Day 5 648 k

 

Up at 6;30 am….not on the road until 9 am…..rain rain rain and winds that made my helmet rock like one of those bubble heads you see in car windows….of course my head was inside it. The bad weather lasted for 175 k before I was out of it ….about 4 pm the sun came out.

I think its about 8:30 pm and I HAVE found a great camp site at Vermillion Prov Park for 28.00. This after wasting an hour in the last big center only to turned away….we don’t have tent sites….well you should tell that to your Tourist Centre who recommended you, I barked. So if you are tenting in Lloydminster I suggest you move on to this park in Vermillion….nice town which has Lakeland College which appears to be a Fire training centre.

No road accidents today, though I did drop my bike at an out of the way gas station in front of 2 pretty ladies who giggled at what they thought was my misfortune. I smiled and said that’s how I get off the old girl  because I can’t lift my leg that high.

Pic of a prairie grain elevator and old wheat homestead in Saskatchewan. I figured that was a must….earlier I should have taken some picks of the oil collectors in the fields….it looks like Texas. The last are of my site….da as if that isn’t obvious.

I I am sitting at a picnic table typing this while I catch the setting rays from a Sun I haven’t seen in 2 days. While you folks are sweltering this area had snow and freeze warnings.

For those of you who care WHAT HAPPENED to the LONDON KNIGHTS….

Goodnight …TO ENLARGE the pics just double click on the image.
