Traveling Canada




Well this tripe through Canada has been amazing. We have seen black bear, Moose, Bison and so many different species of mammals, and lots of babies it seems ever time I see a herd we see little ones trying to keep up.


Because we are going to be staying in one place for about 2-3 days, we decided to experiment and plug in our anchor (stand alone lithium battery) into the house battery just to see if it would charge the anchor, and sadly, this was not a good idea. We have blown a fuse on our inverter, but we are doing fine now, all we have to do is change the fuse! The inverter is hardly ever used, only for running my hair dryer or hair straightener whenever I need to use them. In spite of these issues, the DC/DC system is still working well. It is true that doing this full time has both its benefits and its drawbacks, which makes it a very interesting pursuit.

There are many similarities between the natural scenery in this gorgeous country of Canada and the natural scenery in the lower 48 states of the United States. We are so fortunate that we can drive across it so easily. 



A little interesting history from a Canadian. The Canadian Constitution was returned to Canada by the British (Queen Elizabeth II) in 1982, which represented a formal abdication of any responsibility and jurisdiction the United Kingdom had over Canada. An agreement for free trade was also negotiated between Canada and the United States in 1988.

The Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah

Image
A stretch of more than 30,000 acres of land known as the Bonneville Salt Flats consists of one of the most unique natural features in Utah.  In addition, this unique landscape has also been used for setting land speed records. For example, in 1991, Dan Kinsey reached a speed of 226 miles per hour on his Tramp III Harley-Davidson (a motorcycle!!) and in 1970, Gary Gabelich piloted the rocket-propelled Blue Flame to an astonishing speed of 622 miles per hour. The list of land speed records achieved on this landscape is truly unbelievable, showcasing its potential for high-speed racing. In some areas, the desert landscape is not completely flat. Low mountains and hills can be found, breaking up the monotonous expanse of sand and rock. Sparse vegetation is able to grow on these hillsides, pushing into the otherwise flat areas. On hot days, the salty soil reflects the sun's heat, creating mirages that can appear deceptively real. It's easy to be fooled into thinking the desert is co...

Hope, Alaska

Image
This is hard to believe since so much of Alaska was severely damaged by the 1964 earthquake, and those damages can still be seen today to this day. As a result of this earthquake, houses swayed wildly for more than four minutes. There was a shift in the tectonic plate under Prince William Sound that caused Turnagain Arm to be lowered by about six feet. In order for Hope to preserve these historical buildings they moved the buildings to the other end of town this not only showcase their commitment to preserving their heritage, but also serve as a testament to the power of teamwork and collaboration.   By working together, the community was able to overcome challenges and find innovative solutions to maintain these buildings for future generations to appreciate.  This remarkable feat of engineering and ingenuity is a source of pride for the town of Hope and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our past while moving towards the future. Alaska's most famous bo...

Furry Friends @ City of Rocks, Idaho

An interesting little adventure in our Truck Camper: All I can say is life happens!  Jerry and I were sitting at the table where we were enjoying a wonderful lunch (a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with Cheetos), Bruno sits next to me; usually he would be begging for a bite of my sandwich, but this time he was sitting right next to me watching the front door with a keen interest, which is when I heard a low growl from Bruno.    As I attempted to figure out what he was trying to alert me to. I was looking through the screen, I don't see anything? Then the rodent breaks through the screen, it was as if a squirrel got loose in the First Self Righteous Church of Pascagoula. We were running around trying to get rid of the rodent out of our camper while Bruno was ecstatic that he had a live squeaky toy loose and Jerry was just trying to figure out what the heck just happened. This situation was quite chaotic and unexpected. Jerry's reaction to the chipmunk’s sudden appearance...
