RAINY DAY

Yep. It’s raining again but this time we’re kind of glad. The rain has helped put out the forest fire so no more smoke. Instead, we have mud puddles and wet, soggy grass for our trips outside in the rain. Not much to do, so I am curled up on an old down jacket and napping the day away until it’s time to go to bed.

Kathe and Jim played cards, paid bills and read in front of the fireplace. It was 36 degrees this morning, but at least it’s still not cold enough for snow. Not too much to do here as the closest town is an hour away and no one wants to go out in the rain but me. It has stopped raining for now.  It’s supposed to start again tonight but promises to be clear tomorrow for our drive to Haines Junction and a return to the Otter Falls Campground. 

The next seven days we will be driving through Canada as fast as we can and only stopping for one night before heading on to the next town. 

Every one of us wishing for some sunshine and warmer weather, so it’s a good thing we are headed home.
