Sleeping In My Car
Hi BodyRockers!
The adventure continues…
We are just getting ready to pull out of Calgary, Alberta on our road trip across Canada to Vancouver. This is the video of our first couple of days on the road – looking back it seems like a million miles ago (and it just about was). It seems like we have been skipping across the country from one Tim Horton’s Coffee shop to the next, guzzling down as many litres of extra large coffees as our Buick is gas. The miles are starting to slip by faster now, and we are getting closer to the west coast. In Regina Saskatchewan we stopped at the local Chapters book store and picked up a pile of audio-books (we burned through the 80′s greatest hits cd’s before we left the Province on Ontario). We highly recommend audio-books for long road trips!
Yesterday we had a bit of a gas scare – we passed by the chance to gas up in a city called “Medicine Hat” and headed out into the lonely wheat fields and cattle farms of Alberta with only half a tank of fuel. What we didn’t know is that once our Buick’s fuel gauge reaches the half way point it plummets to 1/4 of a tank almost immediately. There we were coasting along in the middle of nowhere with the sun just starting to set down over the horizon and we were still just under 200km outside of Calgary. The first town we came to had a huge sign that read “NO FUEL” – I think it was around this point that we started to panic a little bit. We made a roadside pit stop to pee and immediately we were attacked by a black cloud of the largest mosquito’s that I have ever seen. We retreated back to the truck and were amazed to see the bugs swarming around the windows trying to get in. Zuzana said that it was like a Zombie movie. Driving away it sounded like it was lightly raining, but what we soon discovered was that it was actually the sound of thousands of bugs hitting the truck and splattering on the grill and windshield.
Thankfully we limped into a gas station not long after on dead empty. It was the last station before Calgary and we were just damn lucky to make it. Can you guys imagine standing at the side of the road at night looking for help in the middle of nowhere with blood sucking zombie mosquitos on the loose in the dark? We were both never so happy to collapse into our motel :)
Talk soon,
Frederick & Zuzana
