Week ending Jul 28, 2016 Beaver Mines Lake, Pincher Creek

Friday morning, we woke to a colorful sunrise on the mountains to the west.

 Later, we drove into Lethbridge for lunch and shopping.  We stopped on the way back at Coalfields SD1245 one room school house, where we have the best cell signal west of, and including, Pincher Creek, so we could call Dad. 

Saturday, walked the campground.   A spruce grouse posed nicely for us on the road through the campground.  After a couple of chicks scurried across, she stopped again on a rock beside the road.

Sunday, walked the campground and watched Nascar.

Monday while after packing up, we had problems running in  the living room slide, so Joan found a couple who helped us push it in.  It almost sounded like the motor was dead, but when 3 people pushed, it sounded normal, so just wasn't moving.   We headed back to Pincher Creek Veterans Memorial CG.   When we got set up, we did a test run on running in the living room slideout.   It made really weird noises, so we are not sure what is happening now.


Tuesday,  we took it easy.


Wednesday we talked to the hosts about RV repair here.  They highly recommended Scougall's in Ft. McLeod, which is where they bought their trailer.    Joan reminded John that when we have had trouble before, we jacked up the back end of the trailer 1.5 inches.  We gave that a try, and it worked like it usually does.    In the afternoon, George arrived.   We watched the Rogers Cup tennis.


Thursday, we did a waterfalls tour in the area.  We started with Lumbreck Falls off Highway 3 between Pincher Creek and the Crowsnest area.

Then we went to Castle Falls, at the Castle Falls Rec Area.  After taking pictures of the falls and having lunch, we did  2.5 km walk around the 3 loops in the campground.

After returning to the trailer, we watched more tennis.
