And Away We Go!

Hello from Edmonton! We are spending our first night in Alberta's capital city.

Five a.m. came early this morning. We gathered up the last of our stuff that needed packing, said goodbye to all at home, and shortly after 6 a.m. we were on the road - first destination is Prince Albert, SK. We will be there Tuesday to unload first thing Wednesday morning.
We headed along Hwy 24 to Little Fort, and then north toward Jasper. Spring is springing in the North Thompson. There are actually leaves on trees! Conditions in Blue River were about the same as home; still some lingering snow.
Heading down off the plateau at the east end of Hwy 24
Taking a quick break in Blue River.
In the Rockies, Jasper National Park.
Cody is a good little traveller; he has slept 90% of the trip. He's been out for two good walks since supper time.
More from Saskatchewan!

Glad you had a good start to your trip ... blue skies and all! Good to hear that Cody is traveling well. I'm sure Mike is enjoying all the company.

D has an Aunt lives in Blue River. I spent a few days in Blue River a few years back. Mosquito City.

Safe journeys on ....

Blue skies make for such pleasant travel - and beautiful photos of the scenery, too!
