On to Canada

Day one of two travel days out of Yellowstone took us to Shelby, MT, just 32 miles short of the Canadian border. We had to leave at 7:00 a.m. as I had a noon appointment in Great Falls, MT, to get the 15,000 service on my rig. It was a beautiful drive out of the Yellowstone Valley, by between there and Great Falls, we had to cross Castle Mountain and, as you can see, we went up into snow. It was really beautiful, the pine trees all white with snow.

Spent the night in Shelby, MT, then on travel day 2 crossed into Canada where, except for two towns, Lethbridge and Calgary, it was just mile after mile, hour after hour of grain fields as far as you could see. We're now in Cochrane, Alberta, a northern suburb of Calgary, 3,103 miles into our journey to Dawson Creek, Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway. We're staying here for a day to shop and rest, then have two more travel days ahead to Dawson Creek, AB.
