Woke up this morning to the full moon and minus 24 temperature.

Sorry we were unable to call anyone yesterday, but we didn’t have any cell service.

The furnace ran the entire night – few challenges with the cold – our fridge isn’t working properly and everything is frozen – our smoke detector chirped all night and our batteries don’t seem to be charging while we are driving – we have been running our generator every chance we get so our new batteries won’t get damaged.  We will have to take some time once we get to Calgary to figure things out.   Just part of Winter camping…

We decided to cross back into Canada and get onto some bigger highways.  We have enjoyed the single highway driving with no traffic or trucks, but we thought we might make up some time if we could get on some major highways.  We crossed in North Portal Saskatchewan  – easy border crossing – we were the only vehicle there.

The driving has been good today – passed some oil rigs & lots of grain silos.

The temperature remains cold, but we were treated to an incredible sun dog and the air is sparkling with ice diamonds. 

Glad I am seeing a little more of my Country – the plains are pretty and peaceful.

Spectacular sunset –

Made it to Medicine Hat – Alberta – one more sleep and we will be with Steph, Lou & the kids!
