for a shakedown trip — perhaps not our best idea . Heading east from Jasper in late September meant campgrounds were closing just behind us and daylight was sliding away . Coming home meant having to travel through the United States . Interesting but limiting .
Over the years we ’ ve only added slightly to the trailer we bought . We ’ ve upgraded to a lithium battery and replaced the cooler with an actual compressor-style refrigerator . We ’ ve added toys to our travelling road show : a couple of kayaks , and a special bike rack for our very heavy e-bikes . ( This means we are very careful of load distribution ; when the extra 125 pounds of bikes is added “ aft ,” we have to move mass forward of the trailer ’ s wheels .)
COVID-19 has disrupted our holidaying like it has yours . Where we would have been going on ( what now seems exotic ) trips into the United States for a month or so , we now stay in Western Canada for shorter trips . I know — poor , poor us .
Turns out Alberta has some stunning options .
