It froze overnight. Early this morning I noticed that the furnace was blowing cold air. Our propane tank was empty! I climbed into my cold clothes, went out to switch over to the other tank and then climbed back into bed. The stabilizers for the trailer were frozen to the ground and needed to be pried loose. We had a quick breakfast, hitched the trailer and drove over to the shower building. These kind of cold mornings make you appreciate a hot shower!
I decided that we had to keep the propane tanks full so we went into Brandon to get the empty tank filled. It is -7 degrees and blowing and I did not want to run out of propane.
Swift Current is our goal for today. Traffic was light but the wind was steady and I noticed that our gas consumption had increased considerably.
We had to stop at Moose Jaw and visit Mac the Moose! We saw him in the summer without his rack, but he now had a new set. Mac is going to be the tallest moose in the world again!
Our campsite for tonight is at the Kilton Hill Campground. It too is open until the end of October. We are the only campers here and we are right on the top of the hill. I told Debbie that you can see your dog run away for three days! It is also going to be prone to the winds that were howling across the prairies.

Nice photo, Debbie….I posed with this moose and a Tim’s coffee when driving to Winnipeg with Marnie. We had been driving for awhile looking for ‘the moose’ and Marnie finally said “There probably is no stupid moose!” and then we saw it. We’ve had many laughs over the moose. The weather has turned, even here, and I’m glad you two are high tailing it for home. Looking forward to some great stories!
