... are so fat and healthy looking and the crops are so lush looking. Miles and miles of miles and miles. How long does it take for that farmer to drive his tractor to first plant and then harvest and then bale the remainder. Thank goodnes for large tractors and combines and air conditioned cabs on the tractors and hopefully some music. Of course the scenery is enought to keep anyone awake and interested. There must be some ...

Two years ago when we did a house swap we spent a month fishing the Missouri river , so when we came back into town we stopped at the old house, filled the water tanks , and headed for a small campsite on the river, only known by the locals. We spent two nights here, Brent fished the river with a friend, and Jo knitted socks.<br><br>Also our computer died and we feel we are missing our right arm, hence the short entries

... car and spend the weekend with Dave and Lisa. It's about a 5 1/2 to 6 hour drive to Calgary but the highway is excellent and there was little traffic. The pictures show how heavy the sky was.<br><br>We really enjoyed the weekend and had a great salmon meal on Saturday with Dave and Lisa. They certainly are a busy pair! Saturday afternoon I was able to connect with Lynda, my new favorite hairdresser, and got a much needed ...

Don finally slowed down enough today that when he tried to watch a movie he fell asleep. We walked a bit after supper and I had to share my Montana sunset with you. There is a small park just outside the fence of the park. Although we are located on a noisy corner where two main roads come together it is shady and handy to downtown.

Last night was extremely windy. Even though my tent was set up well and all the pegs and ropes were tight, the tent flapped and flapped for about two hours. The people in the site next to me had several things blow off of the picnic table in the middle of the night. That was noisy!<br><br>The weather today was good, but the 660 miles seemed SOOOOOO long. At one place in Wyoming, I had to wait 30 minutes due to ...

... vehicles gathered at another location on the farm so the caravan is much longer than it first seemed. All the vehicles, including ours are equipped with two-way radios and they are proving essential for communicating with this number of vehicles. We're on our way after six weeks of angst!

... forecast on TV and they are predicting up to two feet of snow in the mountains tonight. Hopefully, now that we are in the plains, it will not amount to more than rain tomorrow. The mountains were higher today - but for a good part of the trip we were unable to see far up the slopes! When we do see them, they are starting to look more like the Canadian Rockies and the valley ranches, more ...

... little brief a few days ago when I mentioned not walking around with blinkers on. That's the thing with faith, you can't go around saying I have faith in "so and so" and leave it at that. There's still some work to do. You can't drive your car around for years without servicing it. If you did, then at some point in time it's going to break down on you. You have to be aware of what is required for whatever situation you have faith in. I have a lot of faith in my truck. It's ...

... in our heads for any length of time...no matter...to enjoy it at the time is enough. One day in a future game of Trivial Pursuit, a dusty and derelict cerebral compartment will creak open and an otherwise forgotten fact will save the day! President Jefferson had commissioned the men to find the elusive North West passage, to find the link between the Atlantic and the Pacific ...

... for the next day. Here we met the trip winning character. She was tall, skinny, about 65 with a trash mouth and attitude to match. She and her husband were headed north in an RV. "I drive and he behaves" and I believe her. She instructed Nick, in great detail, on the ...
