CANADA

We left St. Mary, MT and entered Canada at Conway, Canada. There was a very nice lady at the Border crossing and she asked a few routine questions and only ask for the medical and shot records for Smokey. She told us to enjoy our stay and informed me as to where I could expect construction delays. Al this took about 30 minutes.

The highway from the Border to Calgary is almost like an Interstate in the U.S. It's four lane and real smooth and the scenery alongside is very nice. They don't really have "rest stops" like we have, but they have large "pull off" areas that you can stop in. Only problem is they don't have rest rooms, but since we're in a motor home we don't much care.

We got to Calgary and stayed a couple of days in a real nice camp ground that over looked the main highway and the country side. We were facing west so we saw the beautiful sunsets each night.

Calgary Sunset

Calgary is the home of the Calgary Stampede that's held each July. We missed it by about two weeks. Maybe one of these days we can get back to see it. Calgary is the second largest city in Alberta Providence with about a million people. Remarkably its a real clean city with good roads all around. Everyone we met were very nice and friendly and went out of their way to make you feel welcome.

The trip to Edmonton was real nice, the weather was sunny and warm and the roads were just like a freeway. The country side was colorful and the small towns we had to go through were quaint and colorful. If a person has the time it'd be nice to take about a week to drive from Calgary to Edmonton and stop and see the towns en route.
