Hi Jim,
We've gotten fresh crab from a vendor at the farmer's market
We're about 150 miles inland.
From Vancouver inland to Edmonton and then north to Yellowknife is
1600 miles. With a stopover in Edmonton off-loading, changing
carriers and reloading figure four days by truck if I'm lucky.
So the crbs aren't fresh off the boat, but not bad, considering the
distances they have to travel. At least better means of travel and
keeping them fresh en route is a lot better than it used to be.
The last time I had fresh crab was the last time we visited
Vancouver which was quite a few years ago.
Time for another trip?
This summer we are staying put: the grandkids are coming here. The
We went to see ours.
two youngest ones can now fly unaccompanied. They'll arrive tomorrow.
And the oldest one will drive here with her guy and the baby about 2
weeks after that. Travel and self isolation restrictions (for fully vaccinated Canadian residents) were also lifted on July 3.
Sounds like you're going to have a housefull soon. I've heard mixed
signals--is the border open yet for USA visitors? We're still sort of
looking at our Alaska trip for next year but haven't made a firm
committment yet.
