TRAMPER TRAVELS - JULY 2 - HEADING ON INTO CANADA!

We left the campground in Kalispell at 7:30 a.m. heading to the Roosville border crossing. It was a very foggy start, but it burned off pretty quickly.

We stopped in Browning for gas 42 miles before hitting the border crossing. I looked up and saw what looked like a seagull. When I mentioned how crazy that was to Mike, he said a local at Tractor Supply in Kalispell had told him if we see a bird that looks like a seagull, it probably IS a seagull. They come in by the thousands and hang out for the summer in the area lakes. How crazy is that?!

Crossing the border in Roosville was a piece of cake. We got rid of our dairy at the campground, and we weren’t even asked about the food we had. We will take it!

It was so funny when Mike turned the truck to metric for the speedometer, everything in the truck went metric!

Check out that tire pressure 😳😂

Somewhere around High River, I saw the Smiling Barn. At least that’s what I call it. Sure made me smile!

A huge highlight today was getting to meet and spend time with BevAnne Keefe Moynham and her husband, Gordon.

I “met” BevAnne quite a few years ago in an online photography group. So many of us have been able to meet each other in person over the years, and it’s always a thrill when we do!

Thanks for coming out, BevAnne and Gordon. It was so great to spend some time with you.

Oh! And it was my first ever actual visit to a Tim Hortons. Very cool!

We rolled on until we reached our campground for the night, OR Hedges (Lions) Campground in Olds, AB. This campground is owned by the town of Olds but managed by the Lions International.

No sooner did we get set up for the night, and it started raining. According to the forecast, it’s supposed to rain quite a bit tonight.

The weather hasn’t allowed for much in the way of hanging out with John and Mary, that’s for sure.

Guess we will hunker down for the night until we get on the road again in the morning.

It’s been a good day!
