Heading south, Day 2

Got up this morning and tuned in the news/weather first thing, bad news, high winds gusting to 100 km/h (62 mph) in southern Alberta all the way through to Wyoming with snow expected south of border in Montana along route we plan to drive. I take the laptop, head to the campground office and check further on the weather to see if we could maybe drive to Lethbridge or maybe a little further, we really don’t want to stay here another day, well the winds are bad even there, so we book another night here. Woody puts up our Hughes Dish so we can access the internet at our leisure and settle in for the day. It is a very nice here today, temps in up 20c (68F), some wind here but not bad, we spend the day walking the dogs, watching TV, doing a little cleaning and browsing the internet and hope we can leave tomorrow. This is the day we were supposed to arrive at our winter home in Tombstone, AZ, ah well so we will be a little later arriving. We left Imrie Park later than we originally planned (our own choice) then we were held up a few more days due to a snow storm in Montana, we decided to stay put in Alberta rather than drive a short distance, then sit and wait out the storm, we expect weather delays when travelling in the fall and will be the same when we return in the spring.
