Wake to heavy clouds and greyness.
We decide we cannot possibly be out of here by checkout time, so, we extend. We will have to move to another site, no biggie. Reality day. And. It starts raining soon thereafter.
When the rain slacks we head for the “rig wash”. It’s a covered drive through, huge. Kinda slick!
The Estate looks really small in here, don't you think?
First toonie we put in the machine, sticks.
When the stupid tourist tries to use an English pound coin for a Canadian toonie. So much for similar sizes and poor light and older eyes and one trip to England in 1999. Yea. Really. When you hold on to foreign coins cause it’s just too much trouble to try to exchange them. And you have not been back to England since. When you apologize profusely to the maintenance dude, who was laughing. Thank goodness. Well he has a story to tell tonight, about those stupid tourists.
Our English pound stuck where the toonie should have been. Ooopsie. Look at where the red arrow is pointing. Yepper, there it be!
Man did a great job on getting the outside of The Estate clean.
Just saw a helicopter fly by with a water bucket hanging down by tether. I have no idea where a fire might be. Wait, hold that thought. Later I would hear there was a new fire reported in British Columbia on Wednesday night about 7 PM and there was one helicopter in service for the fire. With snarky internet today, I could not get maps to load so I could look for the places, but, something about 4 km south of Bell II. We drove through there yesterday just hours before.
We had spaghetti for lunch. I did some laundry. I took a nap. I worked on photos for a blog post. I tried to get online and I did, but, very little would load, so I stepped back from that.
It rained and spit off and on all day. It was cool, not the 80 plus of yesterday.
