Day 100 - April 17th - Home Sweet Home

Well thats interesting. Exactly 100 days since we left home until we returned.

Got up this AM in Moose Jaw to a little fog, but +4C temperature. Had a toasted Ham sandwich for breakfast before we headed out. Did the final dumping of the tanks here in Moose Jaw, as not sure where might be open once we get home. I will be able to do the remaining "Winterizing" at home. Don't think we should take a chance of no more heavy frosts yet. It is only the middle of April, and this is Canada !! A couple worth of bucks of antifreeze may save a lot of heartache later on.

Here is a shot of Moose Jaws Symbol.

The next shock of the day was when we stopped at the Shell Station on the west side of Moose Jaw to fill the gas tank. We had gotten used to filling, when the tank was just below the 1/2 way mark, and it usually took about $75 - $90 to fill to capacity. This morning it was about the same level of fullness, But $140 !!! Gas was $.89/litre.

Oh well, the cost of doing business, but then we had to fill again at Brooks, another $130.

First one of these that we have seen on this trip

Here is the place we are looking for!!!

Anyway arrived home in High River at 5:05PM, a long day with 431 miles covered.

I do have to take back my comments yesterday about, "reminding me why we are going this way". Today was a beautiful day, with bright sun most of the way, temperatures up to +21C, and clear sailing all the way home. ELTORO performed exceptionally well with not even a hicup, so it was a delightful day. And there is something about looking to the west, once nearing home and seeing the Majestic Rocky Mountains just beyond our town. Denice commented, "Now all we need now is a nice sunset to complete the day". I think she may get here wish!!
