We left Johnny and Joanne’s about 10:00 driving back to Turner Valley.  Gassed up in Taber about 11:30 (smoke break for Susie)  diesel $1.20/l  We had a close call leaving Taber, the car in front of us suddenly moved to the next lane, as he was moving I saw the cars stopped on the road in front of him and told Hank to stop or move quick.  There was an antique car in that lane with a flat tire and 2 cars stopped behind him, not even off the road.  Two guys were working on the car one laying behind it on the road, if we had hit the back car (which was close to happening) it would have pushed that car into the next and hit the guy laying on the road.  Scarey!!!!  Then when we turned off of Highway 3 onto 519 a big truck went by and thru a stone on our windshield, nice big chip on drivers side.  Linda called to tell us that they had arrived in Banff (we are meeting them on Sunday) they are in campsite 811 so we want to get a site close to them.  We passed a place called Jack Ass Junction, just wondered if it is related to Black Ass Acres, Elaine?  Got diesel in Aldersyde, almost back to Susie’s,  $1.11.9/l.  We had a salmon dinner, salmon that Dale caught on his fishing trip to BC, really good, and Susie’s scalloped potatoes (got the recipe) and carrots.  Then we played scrabble for a couple hours, lots of laughs!!!!  When we were pulling our letters to see who goes first I got an R and Hank got a V,  RV sounds right eh!
