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   2132

ANDY’S REPORT
  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 more driving! Whew! Another long day. Got to the border sort of barked at the lady in the booth, she then asked for my papers, luckily the peeps remembered to bring them or I guess I would be in a kennel for a month.. got to the new park, took a long walk, had a snacker and I am out  Good Night !!!
