We kept working on our chores. It’s good to stay put now and then, take care of business, get caught up. But we’re eager to move north!
Thursday, June 3, there was a knock at our door. A pleasant couple asked if we were friends of Mark and Dortha Hall. We answered, “Yes”; the couple introduced themselves as Rod and Debbie Kendall. The Hall’s had told them they might cross paths with us since we were all headed in the same direction—Alaska. The Hall’s then gave the Kendall’s a brief description of our rig, and the address of our blog, which Debbie read. The Kendall’s checked into Dick’s RV Park, drove to their parking site, started to set up camp, turned, saw our rig directly behind them, and couldn’t believe their eyes!! What were the chances of this happening: same park, same nights, parked directly across the driveway from each other! This happens so often in our RV lifestyle and never ceases to delight me!!
We visited during that afternoon and then the four of us went out to eat at the Mongolian BBQ restaurant in town. Good dinner followed by Baskin Robbins ice cream. A perfect evening with new friends!!
This shows how close we’re parked to each other. That’s our motorhome and Dakota in the background at the left:
Friday, June 4, we each did our own thing then gathered late afternoon. At dinnertime, we went to “Boston”, a pasta/pizza place in town. Very good! Glad we chose this one! After dinner, we went to their rig and watched a DVD by Joe and Vicki Kieva about driving up the Alaska Highway and travel in Alaska.
Initially our paths will differ but we may be able to meet up along the way. Chances are we’ll be bumping into each other all summer—there aren’t that many roads in Alaska! They leave tomorrow, Saturday June 5, to visit friends outside of Calgary, AB—a 2-day trip from here. We hope to leave on Monday, June 7, bound for Ft. Macleod, AB, for a couple of days.
Another pleasant evening and this was our final gift:
