August 26th - 30th

We spent the last 6 nights in Calgary visiting my brother Al, his friend, and his family.  We haven't done a lot of sightseeing as we wanted to spend as much time as we could with family.  We had dinner together either at the trailer or at Al's every night - Alvin cooked a couple of very good meals and Chump (Howard) didn't hesitate to stock up...

It was also good to see Beaner (Al's oldest) and Kelsey (yes, the youngest) even if it was for a short time as they were busy starting school and such.

It was also nice to just "park it" for a few days as I was able to get some maintenance done on the trailer... there is always something with all the bouncing around it does. 

Biker Arda did manage to get a couple of bike rides in and is glad she doesn't ride here all the time as the hills are brutal.  Personally the truck handled them all without me even breaking out a sweat!   

BA also got to go to the casino a couple of times and even came home with more than she went with... didn't pay for the stay but better than losing.

The weather has been great with day-time highs around 70 - 75 with a nice breeze... can't beat it after all the rain we've had.

Tomorrow (Monday) we are off to see Dick and Sidne in Red Lodge, MT as we make our way back to GR for the 3rd of October.

Take care and keep the loops open.
