April in Alberta

We arrived back in Pincher Creek on April 8th and on the 9th we had a snowfall.  Weather isn't as nice as we hoped it would be but we are here for two weeks in town, parked in Cleland's Trailer Park just off main street.  We are within walking distance of everything in town.  A & W  and Subway for coffee, a short drive to hug the grandkids and just down the block from our favorite restaurant at the Heritage Inn.  When we got back we went to the Heritage and got hugged by our favorite waitress.  How's that for a welcome home!

The weather this past week hasn't been overly welcoming but we are nice and cozy in the rig and that's all that counts.  We have had to pull in the slides to get the snow off the slide awnings a couple of times and Clark just fills up the water tank so we have water for showers, otherwise the hose outside would freeze.  Spring time in Alberta.  Got to love it!

Next year we will use a different tactic and time for coming back to Alberta.  Live and learn :)  Have loved going to the kids for coffee and playing games with the grandkids.

After not having levellers on this rig all winter we are going to get it checked out this Thursday and hopefully the fellow at Scougall's RV can order the parts and we can have some stability again.

There is still snow on the mountains and as of yesterday snow back on the ground.  I will take pics this week and post some of the mountains.

our town is in a valley so you have to 'come up top' to get a view of the mountains

The snow in the mountains is the result of this past week's dump of nearly 6 inches. 

 

Today, April 17th, the sun is shining and we are expected to reach a high of 9C.  Lots of melting will occur.
