Day 4, June 30, 2007



Day 4, Saturday June 30, 2007.
I woke up about 4:00 and laid awake for about 20-40 minutes finally decided to get up and do my diary. Got the diary updated and the gas mileage updated also. Willa got up about 6:00 am and we got ready to leave. Fairly uneventful day. Weather was cloudy in the morning and then sunny with a few clouds from about noon on. Breezed though most of the towns and only stopped to gas up and pick up a few groceries. Debated whether to stop at Moose Jaw or travel on. We decided to stay and try and get an early start in the morning. We checked out one of the campsites and they were full and wanted $21.00 to dry camp (no hook ups) so we drove back to the Walmart and checked if it was ok to stay there for the night. FREE camping but the shopping cost us $100.00. May have to re-think FREE again. We set up camp had our supper and went to bed about 11:00 pm. Tegan has bought some cross stitch and has been doing that and writing letters to her boyfriend and other friends. She has really traveled well. We were off so early this morning we let Tegan crawl back to our bed and that is where she spent the balance of the morning. Not the safest place but it worked for her. Tegan and Willa drove several hours each. Willa just had no problem at all with the motorhome and Tegan is just getting better and better. The big trucks don’t seem to phase her at all. The first day or second day, a big truck passed us and I heard Tegan mumble to herself after the truck had passed “ breath Tegan breath”. I though it was quite funny. The motorhome has worked very well. The gas mileage has averaged out to just over 11 mpg and we have had a tail wind most of the time. Willa and I drive about 94-98 k/h and Tegan I hold down to 89-93 k/h. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow will bring.
