Day 4
We had a good
nights sleep again with the windows open, got up early, but Donna had so many chores to do it took us a
while to get going, departed around 8:30ish,
found our SB’s and headed north. Got stuck on Montana Hwy 3 for road
construction several times. Traveling today, we have never seen so many bales of hay--some all over the fields and others stacked high on top of each other! Also lots of grain, cows, horses, sheep, and elk. Exciting today going thru Coutts, Alberta at the border and entering Canada at mile 2068, no problem at customs, asked Donna if she had any tobacco products,
she answered NO, then she worried, what if they inspect the car? Told her you don’t have any I do. Drove to Magrath, Alberta. It’s about 25 miles
from Lethbridge where we'll do a couple
of stops on Day 5. A slight difference
in the country side as we got into Canada, it seemed cleaner and not as
dry, gentleman at the campground said
it’s going to be nice and cool the rest
of the week. Was about 93 degrees and the wind howling all the way up from
Billings and around 87 when we got here,
They had a nice nature trail next to the camp so we took a walk on
it when we arrived. Donna is doing laundry one loonie and two toonies $1.50 a load, by the way had to pay a buck to
take a shower.
Donna is starting to get a little tired of these 400 to 500
mile days. I told her one more, then we
really will get into the trip. Going to be fun tomorrow, Lethbridge, then to
Jasper National Park.
MILES TODAY 417 TOTAL

Not much to say..did not care too much for the park last night,
no good places to walk, had some
new smells, I tried to eat some guys tomatoes but dad would not let me. Boogers! Time for the moving house and

lady in the booth, she then asked for my papers, luckily the peeps remembered
