We're in 16 West, just north of the Saskatoon airport. We were here for a couple of weeks last spring while we waited for a late spring snowstorm to blow through. They didn't have the water turned on then and they are turning the water off today. So I guess we've got about as long a season out of this place as anybody could hope to.

They have a big diesel compressor hooked up to the water line and it has been running all day. The sound of hissing air escaping from the standpipes is getting REALLY annoying. Most of the leaves have blown off the trees - they are telling us its time to get out of here.

And that's what we would normally do this time of the year but we have some parental health issues to deal with this winter. So our out of country experiences will start with an airplane this year.

Fulltimers. No more grass to cut, no more leaves to rake, and can move if we don't like our neighbors.

States we spent time in, drive throughs not marked.

We're really bears for punishment. We're in Grande Prairie now. The sun is shining but its freezing every night. However there's lots of folks live in RVs year round here so the water is still on - sort of. We get a chance to fill our tank during the day and have to disconnect the hose every night.

Hi Bob. Stayed in 16 West this summer. Loved the cinamon buns Live in GP. Seems like we may have crossed pathes in the past. Best of luck with the health issues. Give a shout if you need a hand with anything
