Ticks? Ewwwwww I haven’t had a tick on my dogs or me for decades, I am lucky I guess but I haven’t been where you have either. You know what? You just gotta follow your heart and if it says let’s head home, then head back slowly and enjoy the ride. Beautiful rest stops there. We don’t have enough of those and the ones we do have have homeless camps 🫤

Hey Brent. I deal with ticks a little differently. I put them in the sink and burn them with a lighter. The reason for that is it doesn’t puncture the stomach which is where disease is kept. Just scoop them from the sink with a small piece of paper towel and chuck them im the garbage. Cheers buddy! 👍👍

I know Foam Lake. They have a lovely campground too. A friend of mine grew up there. You found a nice spot to stay. These little hidden gems are all over the prairies. It is finding where they are. We travelled back and forth a lot from Alberta to Manitoba over the years, while my hubby was working his last 10 years before retirement and after going back and forth you do learn where the cozy little places are. Safe travels back to the Island. 😊👋 There are lots of places to live in Canada, not just BC. The last house we had in Alberta we couldn't buy here for 3 Million dollars. But still, people complain. Obviously we couldn't do that.

Wow, that paved high looked too good. Are you sure you're in Saskatchewan? Lol. I do know what you mean about heading home though. Left B.C. in May in our skoolie, out to Ontario to visit family and friends. Stayed to celebrate Canada Day, and a couple of grandchildren's birthday days. We're slowly going to wind our way back in a couple of days. No rush, and no schedule. Lots of friends and relatives to visit on the way back, we'll hit a few of them up for a free barbeque, and a shower, lol. I agree there's lots of great little places in Canada to see, if you stay off of the main highways as much as possible, and take your time. We don't drive more than four to five hours a day, usually less, and if we like some place, we may stay an extra day or two. Find a lot of small town festivals and events that way. Those are always fun. The plan is "loosely" to be home in mid August. But the funny thing is, no sooner we'll get back home, and we'll start planning next years travel itinerary. Lol. Safe travels Brent. Cheers 👋🇨🇦
