August 4 Leaving Edmonton and heading into the mountains

 After our goodbyes with Tiffany and Teller we hit the road headed for the mountains and David Thompson Resort and Campground.

Last cuddles with Teller

The traffic was heavy, with all the city folk fleeing to the mountains for the long weekend. We decided we wanted to take the scenic route so we headed west on #16 then turned south on #759 through Tomahawk where we picked up fuel. Crossed the North Saskatchewan River at Berrymore then jogged west to pick up #22 just outside Dayton Valley. From there it was down #22 to Rocky Mountain House. Jon and Meg stopped there to do some shopping and we turned west on #11 towards Nordegg, Abraham Lake and the mountains.

The group campsites are quite primitive and narrow at David Thompson Resort. It’s lucky for them that they have good views!

Brothers Garry and Dave

Had to put the mirrors in and walk around back to get in the trailer!

Jon and Meg were set up beside us with nephew Evan next to them.
