If I could only get my generator back on line life would be perfect! My batteries are holding up well, but are definitely due for a good charge. Tonight I need to ration my battery usage to ensure I&#8217;ll have heat throughout the night (I have to wonder if the weather is ever good in Dawson Creek!). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;\">Before anyone comments, I&#8217;m still having the same issue I&#8217;ve been having with the generator&#8211;no gas is getting to it and it looks like I&#8217;ll have to change out not only the fuel filter but also the entire line. The project is too daunting for words and I&#8217;d rather focus on finding a tiny portable genset, something with just enough juice to recharge the batteries but not actually run anything. I don&#8217;t need or miss 120V power when I&#8217;m boondocking and can&#8217;t bring myself to sink money into the onboard generator without knowing that it&#8217;ll definitely pay off. I&#8217;ve seen several possibilities for less than $100 on Craigslist, but I&#8217;m always too late. I&#8217;ll keep checking.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At any rate, thanks to Google (and Telus!), I have plotted my way to Banff, concentrating on getting to Jasper. I&#8217;d really like to get to an RV park near there tomorrow because the batteries need charging, but the distance seems a bit ambitious on an unknown route. I have lined up where I hope to stay and made a note of the distances between the major centres so that I can decide mid-afternoon whether I need to stop or keep going.<\/p>\n<p>The weather forecast for the next few days isn&#8217;t promising. The prairies have been hit with a cold snap and there is a snowfall warning for Jasper. So, I&#8217;m highly motivated to get to a place where I can justify paying for hookups in case I need to hang out for a few days. But I am not wavering on my itinerary. It took longer than I thought it would, but I am finally making my way back to places I thought I&#8217;d see in the spring of &#8217;09!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m boondocking and working on my main computer while surfing the net.
