The dock, walkway and splitting table are all finished so Hugh went out cod fishing. With most of fall work done, (wood cut and stored, yard cleaned) we headed west to visit in our trusty truck, Ava the Avalanche emulating our mantra of “Load ‘er heavy, drive ‘er hard”
The colours were fantastic right through from New Wes Valley through Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Maine, Vermont, Quebec, Ontario, Michigan, Minnesota, and North Dakota. In Saskatchewan the leaves were still green then quickly a snow storm blew through with freezing temperatures that turned green to brown.
From Saskatchewan we went west and enjoyed our first view of the mountains south of Calgary on Highway 7. The weather has been mostly very good!
We headed into Washington through the Columbia valley relishing the change of scenery and the vastness of the gorge. At 5000 miles we reached Bellingham, Washington and Vancouver, BC. Now we are reversing the trek and we head home having had a great holiday, and it’s not over yet!
I look forward to coming for a visit next summer by boat, parking at the rear?
