Rocky Mountain High

We were late getting away from Williams Lake yesterday, so got into Valemount late. Just time for Miller, dinner, and a few caches. Valemount is a pretty little town whose motto is "let the mountains move you". I still don't have a card reader for the camera, so a nice shot of the mountain from the campsite will have to come later.

Along the way, though, my tire pressure monitoring system alerted me that I had a slow leak in one of the trailer tires. Luckily, the automatic leveling system can be used manually to lift the wheels into the air so I could change it for the spare this morning. Of course, that meant we were late getting away today, too, and got into Acheson AB late (we lost an hour along the way with the time zone change). Same routine... just time for Miller, dinner and a few caches.  :-)

On the drive though, we were treated to some spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery. We came around one bend and Mount Robson was taking up the entire field of vision. Enough to make you drive off the road.

We stopped for lunch in Hinton, where I spotted this fine fellow welcoming (?) shoppers to the IGA store.

This IGA is very RV friendly, advertising free overnight parking (with big rig pull through parking spots) and wifi even.

Tonight is the last of our one night stands. From here on in, we spend two nights at each location. Tomorrow I'll try to get the tire in to a tire shop for repair.
