Month: September 2017

Wednesday, September 13, 2017 We wake up to the sounds of Ted and Alice making coffee, so we get dressed and join them. As we eat breakfast, Alice says that the weather is going to change and they are thinking about heading to the warmer climes of Moab to do some mountain biking. We tell […]

Tuesday, September 12, 2017 We wake up and have breakfast with Ted and Alice. They have planned to take us on a hike today in the nearby Gallatin National Forest. Alice’s friend Vicki joins us on the outing. On the way to the trailhead, a small bear scampers across the road in front of us. […]

Monday, September 11, 2017 We start our day with a half hour drive to the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. We check out the museum while waiting for a ranger talk. The talk is outside and when we take our seats, we have a Prairie Chicken entertain us on the nearby grass. The ranger that […]

Sunday, September 10, 2017 We managed to get to bed fairly early last night and that leads to an early breakfast this morning. We are on the road by 8:30 and head south. Once we pass the part of the park we visited yesterday, the landscape flattens out into farmland. We turn West onto I […]

Saturday, September 9, 2017   Last night, we made the decision to travel south and enter America in North Dakota.

Wednesday September 6, 2017 This morning at our hotel, we have a nice breakfast which includes eggs. Today’s agenda is nothing more than exploring the city of Winnipeg. The Humphrey Inn and Suites is on Main Street and within walking distance of the Red River and several attractions in the city. We walk towards the […]

Tuesday, September 5, 2017 Today we continue west towards Winnipeg. We leave the province of Ontario and enter Manitoba. The terrain changes quickly as we enter the grain belt of Canada. Flat farms are the geography of the day. It is only a 2-hour drive to the outskirts of Winnipeg. Along the way, Carol meets […]

Monday September 4, 2017 It is Labor Day but it doesn’t feel like it. When you are traveling for as long as we are, holidays do not have much meaning other than a day to try and avoid crowds. I do not expect that will be a problem for todays drive into Canada. We are […]
