Holiday Inn Exp Stes Grande Pr Grande Prairie

It was raining in Fort Nelson when with left this morning, but before we left, Les noticed that 2 of our tires where looking pretty bad from bouncing so much and driving over rocks. So we found a tire store (I guess you could call it a store) The parking lot was mud and full of pot holes and so were all the other parking lots of the other businesses there. All the mud was then carried onto the road so our ...

Hello everyone,<br><br>We finally made it back to Grande Prairie and are taking a break from the blog until we continue our journey to Europe... we leave on July 23 and arrive in Paris on July 24th!!!! We likely won't be able to write as regular as we were on our U.S ...

We ended our year long journey where we started - at the Cassity Farm in northern Alberta. We took our last night bus of the trip from Calgary to Grande Prairie, and I must say, I really liked the good old Greyhound.<br><br>Our short trip was filled with visiting family and eating ...

... own worst enemy. I should believe in success instead of failure. I won't dwell too much on this issue but it should be fairly easy to understand my train of thought. I have been in contact with a few of the people I met especially those in Poland/Ukraine. I will touch and I do hope to go back sometime in the near future.

... restaurant, and spend some time getting laundry, relaxing and hanging around today as we cut the days short since we don't have to do the long haul we thought we were going to be doing when we had Denali planned. Tomorrows plan consist of driving to Dawson Creek, BC, mile marker 0 for the Alaska highway and checking out some caches, museums, and exploring.

... to come with me, he seemed to exhibit some sort of seperation anxiety, was was really weird to me after such a short interaction, but I had no idea what kind of circumstances he has escaped to be here. He grabbed my hand and asked for something to remember me by. He asked for my watch! At five! We settled on a high five and I promised to hang out with him at lunch.

... all the gear. It was heavy, but I could be a firewomen, might need to hit the gym, but I could do it. The next day we had to divy up the seminars, every pair is responsible for four sessions: educational activity day (EAD), community activity day (CAD), a computer skill and a language lesson. There was a little hassel, we won our EAD with rock, paper, scissors-- but then three other groups reached an impass. We finally offered to take our second choice (Environment) to ...
