10. Well we knew it all along, but this adventure is epic and we are only on Day 7 

Day 6 at the Brandon Meadowlark Campground 

We learned more in the span of 4 hours than all the reading, utube videos and calls to the mechanics. What did it take? A small pose of men, all long time RVrs convocating on the day after one of their daughter’s wedding, and frankly trying to cure their hangovers with another few cans of Milwaukee & Michelob. When you start asking questions and letting these gentlemen know what your issues are in your own RV, well the puzzle solvers can’t help themselves but to jump into action. They were respectful of our privacy and only entered the RV when invited to check out the ”issues” and they hung around outside the unit giving us further maintenance tips that will certainly help divert issues down the way. We can’t tell you all how grateful we are/were for this group of people. In fact one couple, seeing us flush our tanks at the end of the day with Barb in her full Mosquitoes suit (YUP they do indeed make them for purchase, and I will post a picture when I can) came over to give us an Off contraption to keep the buggers away 

Today off to Moosjaw Sask & Brooks Alb boondocking. This means no or potentially weak internet so if you don’t hear from us until we get to Calgary, this is why. Chat soon!
