Day
9 – 5-20-15 Wednesday We are about to get our body accustomed to
the two hour time difference we are in, so we slept a little later
today plus we are staying here today so we didn't need to get an
early start. As we proceed on into Alaska it will be more than a two
hour difference. We did laundry and general maintenance and
housekeeping duties today.
I
walked up the road from the campground to a Veterans Memorial. See
photos. The flag raising replica was cut from plate steel. Look very
close between the legs of the third man from the left. There is a
very large flag on a hill behind the this memorial. The flag is also
for the veterans. There were two panels with bricks engraved with
veterans names on them.
We
can't take any fresh fruit or vegetables into Canada and when I was
checking the entry requirements again this morning I discovered the
eggs we purchased in Missouri can't be taken unless cooked due to the
Avian Flu in chickens in several US states. We will juice all the
fruit and vegetable. We went to the local Albertson's Grocery store
and got a few potatoes so Lena could make some potato salad and also
some hard boiled eggs. So for supper tonight we had a fried bologna
and egg sandwich with potato salad and blueberry pound cake with
strawberries. What a combination but it cleared some of stuff out we
aren't supposed to carry across. We will cross in and out of Canada
several times as we visit different parts of Alaska. We don''t know
if this same rule will apply to those crossings or just the one from
the lower 48.
We
will turn our cell phones off tomorrow when we get to Canada because
US Cellular does not have coverage in Canada. I will not be able to
update the Blog every day as we will probably not be in a campground
every night that has WiFi and some nights might not even be in a
campground - just a pull off beside the road in the more remote areas
of Canada.
