Chilling in Calgary

We are at Calgary West Campground working on Lucy. I'm the book holder
and reader and Francis follows the steps I go over There's nothing
majorly wrong with her but she's been putt-putting more than she was
when we left for the trip. Francis is doing a few tune up adjustments
to see if it could help. Might be the higher altitude.

The campsite is conveniently near highway 1. It's nothing spectacular
but we get a nice view of the city and the facilities are kept really
clean. There's a shuttle that goes right to the Stampede from the
campground. It only leaves twice daily though so we will jump on the
6pm one to go check out the grounds. It comes back at midnight or so.

We might go again for the afternoon tomorrow (shuttle that leaves at
10am and comes back at 6pm) if we think there is more we want to see.
It's gorgeous out today. We might go for a dip in the pool this
afternoon.

Going to bed when we are tired and waking up when we feel like it is
great. Lucy's pull out bed is really comfy and we usually get at least
9 hours sleep each night. Ahhhhhh holidays!

OK back to narrating for Francis! For all you VW owners following the
blog, the John Muir book is a lifesaver. Don't leave home without it!
