Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains) and add oil on arrival
- Scenery was just OK.
- AME says "beautiful shape".
- In RW, well, been to Halifax and back. Great trip!  Last weekend was camping at Mount Kidd for Easter long weekend.  Another amazing time!  Marg quilted when it rained Friday, and the kids came out for some fun on the Saturday, including yummy food and smores.  Went home Monday in time to go get the boat.  Life is good!  At the moment we have a raging blizzard outside... love spring in Alberta.  LOL
