Rolling Hills and Majestic plains

A view from our window

After leaving lake Louise we headed off to Calgary...the Rockies were beautiful.

Majestic Mountains











Lunch just outside of Calgary
We hung out for the day and although it is a great city it is a city so we headed for a quieter setting....Drumheller! Why you might ask? Well to see the dinosaur bones at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of course.








Drumheller is a small town, dry land but warm people. We had a great chat with the locals...who Olive pulled in.







The Tyrell Museum was full of wonderful artifacts and some darn large bones....did you know some of their teeth are the size of bananas. That's some huge chompers!






Elephant of steroids.









James and Mark
After spending one night in Saskatoon and 3 days in Regina....donating blood and not to the Red Cross. They grow big mosquitoes out here! We headed down in the US  (side note here...we had to donate some fruits and veggies to the US border guards and I think they were hungry and wanted to make sandwiches) and Montana where we were blessed with some wonderful Montana hospitality. James was the first person we met in this beautiful state and after swapping Westy stories and James buying our gas (made me well-up...he was so nice. Will grab that flax next time James : ) We headed to North Dakota....Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and back into Canada at Sault St. Marie.

 So here we are in Sault St. Marie KOA campsite...beautiful spot, great hospitality and so very clean! Olive made the trek and we know the prayers of friends and family have kept us safe along our way.
Thank-you. This is a vast and spectacular country and our most used word has been "WOW". God is great....if you get a chance to do this some day...Just do it!  Your experience will be full of special memories of wonderful people in a beautiful country.
