Back in Kananaskis

We got the call to come back to Kananaskis.  We really enjoyed our stay in Oliver, BC at Apple Beach RV Park.  I am going to miss being right on the lake!!  We left on the 14th and stayed at Crazy Creek RV Resort for 1 night.  We wanted to take a dip in the hot pool but it was closed(was supposed to be open during covid)  they told us it would be open the next day.   We left Crazy Creek on May 15th and got to Kananaskis around 3:30. We got all set up and could not get a signal for our TV.  We were told we could take Terry's spot as she would not be coming back this year.  We moved and got our signal right away.

Doug started work on the 18th.  The campgrounds are opening June 1st, at 50% capacity.  It should be a very interesting summer this year.  We will see how the opening goes.  Hopefully it will go good and not be closed down again due to Covid-19 cases increasing.

A few pictures of Crazy Creek Resort, and the hike to the falls.

Worrisome Times!!

Well a lot has happened in the world since I last wrote.  In February I flew back to Alberta from Phoenix to visit my sister.  Had an awesome visit with her and my brother!!  Got back to Phoenix and enjoyed the rest of the month in Quartzsite.  March 1st we went to Tucson and in our second week all hell broke loose with Covid-19!!  All Canadians were advised to come back to Canada!!  We packed up and started making our way north.  I called quite a few RV Parks and found them to either be full or not accepting new reservations due to Covid-19.  I finally found an RV Park in Oliver, BC that still took reservations.  I was able to secure a spot but not till the 30th of March.  We slowed our trek north and took our time.  On March 30th we crossed the border.  We had no problems crossing and the border guard told us to quarantine for 14 days, no stopping for groceries or anything!!  We were well stocked because we got groceries, and propane before we crossed into Canada.  We got to our RV Park and set up, we are now in a 14 day quarantine period.  Our spot here is gorgeous, we back onto the lake! 
We were supposed to start working in Kananaskis May 1st, but due to the virus the parks are closed till May 19th at the earliest possibly later.  So we booked this site at the RV Park for the Month of May also.  Once out of quarantine I will be taking advantage of kayaking and paddle boarding on the lake.  It will be very easy to social distance on the lake😍   I am hoping and praying that this virus will get under control and we can all get back to normal.

Update

Well, Christmas has come and gone!!  I was quite bummed out!  This was the first Christmas away from the Kids and Grandkids!  Thank goodness for technology.  We face timed with them and saw them open their presents😍  Not quite as good as being there, but next to it.
We will be in Quartzsite till the 29th of January, then we move on.  I am looking forward to that!  There is literally nothing to do in Quartzsite unless you have an ATV!  We will be heading to Lake Havasu next.  We will stay at Lone Pine, free camping.  While there, we will Golf and spend time on the lake in the Kayak and on the Paddle Board.
I bought a hummingbird feeder and small pole to put up.  We have had 3 different kinds of hummingbirds at our feeder.  I love these little guys!!  The sunsets have been spectacular!  I will add some pictures.  The one little guy with the red head is elusive!  I have yet to get a good photo of it.
Today we are going to go to the rock and gem show as it is on till the 12th.  Hoping to get some cool stuff for the grandkids!!  The next big show will be the RV show which starts on the 18th of January.  Looking forward to wandering through and see what they have!
