Great Falls, Montana "Rendezvous" Day 1 is Official!

Day 1 - Wednesday, June 08, 2011                                                                                           
Welcome to our trip journal!  We are Ken and Carole Adams, Wagonmasters for Adventure Caravans, headed north for an RV tour of Canada and Alaska through Aug 4.  Spence and Madeline Schaaf are our  tailgunners (for the second year in a row!), and we have a wonderful group of guests.  We plan for participants to update our travels as we go. Understand, there may be a delay occasionally due to lack of internet access as we traverse sparsely populated regions.  We’ll do our best to keep current, so you can follow along with us on our journey.  Please invite your family and friends to travel along with us!
Alaska is a beautiful place to see, but the journey to get there can be incredible.  Today we are meeting in Great Falls, Montana at Dick’s RV Park, for the first official day of our tour.  We have seventeen guest couples here and will have three more couples join us as we head north.  Most folks have been in the RV Park for a few days and are already getting to know their travel companions.  Several of us have travelled to Giant Springs State Park, the Charles M Russell Museum, and the Great Falls.  It has been particularly interesting to Carole, who last visited these places when she lived here for a year when she was twelve – a LONG time ago J
All of us have been busy, planning and preparing for the tour, welcoming everyone as they arrive and inspecting vehicles to head off potential mechanical problems.  This afternoon was our orientation meeting, where we went over the information folks might need to make their tour a resounding success and reduce the stress of wondering what is to come.  We had a great meeting, and then a fine dinner and lots of fun J  We are going to have a great tour with all our new friends!!  We can’t wait to get started!!
Alaska, here we come!!
