20250830 – Picking up Oscar – Grande Prairie

We got off to an early start. We were headed to Grand Prairie again to pick up our pups ashes. It took us several hours to get up there, and we pulled in around 2 pm to the Railtown Vet Office. They had him ready for us and we took a few moments to read the card that was inside the box. Oscar is in a cute little urn and he’s back up riding in our dash.

Since we were in a big town we have to stock up on a few things. Costco for fuel and DEF and a few other items; Sean got a haircut after three months; and Kathy found a great basket for the truck so we can contain items that have found their way to the center console. Cities are expensive.

A campground was suggested to us by the hair stylist, but it was $45 CAD at the KOA, so I got to searching the map and found an old oil drill pad that worked. Those things make noises, and are a bit creepy in the middle of the night. But it was free and stashed away from the noisy road for. Good nights sleep. We hoped to see the aurora at night but it was not active, which kind of sucked since we were pretty far north again. Oh well.
