May 28, We left the campground around 9 am, we continued driving on Route 2, passing through some Indian Reservations, stopped at one point to rest and walk around for awhile and had some lunch. We continued on, the land is flat some places and the next is hilly, a lot of farmland, seems like the fields are planted, we think wheat its not up very much yet. We had seen pheasants and antelope again today while traveling. We had stopped in the town of Havre for fuel and at the Walmart, before continuing on our way. We stopped again in the town of Shelby at a Passport America campground, we also went to the drug store to get some of Ken’s prescriptions filled before heading into Canada.
May 29, We had checked with the pharmacy and was told the drugs aren’t ready until tomorrow, so I registered another night at the campground. We stopped at a Shopko store, next to the campground, they are going out of business, they are somewhat like a Kmart. Since we are stuck here for another day, we decided to go to eat at a Chinese Restaurant for a buffet lunch. Didn’t really do anything else the rest of the day but sit around.
May 30, We went to check on our drug around 11:30, still not done, waiting for the drugs to come in on the next shipment. They finally arrived around 12:30, stopped at Subway for lunch, hooked up and pulled out around 1 pm, headed north on Route 15 into Canada. Had to wait at the border about 15 minutes or so, stopped in the town of Milk River, Alberta, exchanged money, got $1.3226 for each $1.00 we exchanged. The teller at the bank told us about a Provincial Park about 15 miles east of town, Writing-on-Stone Historic Site, so we decided to stay for the night, a nice park down in a valley where The First Nations people lived hundreds of years ago. We took a drive to the viewpoints to see the old Northwest Mounted Police post, and to see the Hoodoo’s.
