June 3, 2008






So far my impression of Canada is not the best....of course, it has only been one day. The best is that everything is so green. The worst is that it is cold, rainy and miserable!! Diesel is $6.11 a gallon. YIKES!!!! It was getting cheaper ($4.35 in Helena, MT) the further north we went but NOT HERE!

We did some tourist things today but everyplace was so expensive. Our most fun thing was Fort Whoop Up!!! Yep, that's a real fort. It was established in 1869 and was one of the most notorious for dealing contraband booze. One of the first NWMP stations. Such a hoot. Then we went to the Alberta Bird of Prey Refuge. My kind of place.

Tomorrow we are headed for Calgary. We plan to spend several days in that area. Unfortunately, we have reservations in Seward during the time of the Calgary Stampede.
