Travel, Animals and More

August 15. A really good day for travel and for seeing animals. We saw many, many bison along hwy. 97. Also, two black bears and a really big moose. Saw another Escape 19, but not folks that wanted to visit- oh well. Stopped for the night at a turnout south of Ft. Nelson. Felt safe as there were a couple of semi's there also.
August 16. National Airborne Day! Drove to Grand Prairie, A. B. We stayed at  Walmart along with several other campers. At Dawson Creek, we stopped for pictures of us and the Escape. We met a young man there getting pictures. He was on his way to be stationed in Alaska. To be honest, he looked to be about 19. Warm and sunny.
August 17. We headed toward Edmonton, but decided to go south as we really want to camp in several northern states before heading toward home. We stayed in a small town- Nanton, B. C..
Another beautiful day.
August 18. Crossed the border into United States at 9:40. Good to be back and see real mileage signs and gas in prices other than liters. Now at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana.  Really nice off  base fam camp. Got the last spot- a pull thru- which we always like.

August 19. Went to the post exchange and on to Walmart for a timely oil change. Wifi. Beautiful pics of the sunset.
August 20. Staying one more night.  Really like it here! Hot- what a change for us.
August 21. My beautiful daughter's birthday. Left the base early and camped free for the night in New Salem, North Dakota at their municipal park.
August 22. Now at a military camp in Little Falls, Minnesota- Camp Ripley. This is really nice!
