Turkey Trip

The day was upon us, after much last minute scrambling to get the necessary accoutrements installed and working, we were road worthy. At 5am (or shortly after as marital law would allow) we hit the road rumbling down the highway towards Manitoba.

The weather was beautiful, as was the scenery. The company?........

They were....comfortable if not talkative.



The trip out was fine, clear and sunny. But after a weekend of sunny weather we ran out of luck and the drive home tested Fillmore's winter preparedness

Snow started to fall just west of Regina, the thermometer started to fall

And I discovered that the back of the bus has it's advantages....an adequate supply of heat being one.

The trip home was full of slush and snow, but riding up high was nice. Progress was slowed for a few hours when we got behind a guy with a 5th wheel, but we just slowed down and pulled out the snacks and enjoyed the journey.

In the end we were home before sundown, safe and sound. The inaugural family road trip was a success!
