Made it into Canada! Cardston city, McLeod city & Cochrane - outside of Calgary!




















 Cardston is the first city that we spent in Canada. We made it through the border without a problem, but one of our leaders was stopped over an hour for interrogation for having the word “staff” on the sticker on the outside of their trailer. Are they working here in Canada? Etc.. In Cardston, I went with the group to the Remington Carriage museum tour, and had a horse carriage ride, which was super cool. François went golfing with one of the guys.


Next, we went to McLeod, Canada and stayed at Rivers Edge RV park. We visited a UNESCO heritage site, which sounds super weird and is titled “ Head smashed in buffalo Jump “. Yes, you heard me right. The Indians would corral about 300 buffalo to jump off a cliff, and be able to feed 1,000 villagers for a year with it all. It was really interesting and so strange also.

Then we headed to Calgary for three nights, or Cochrane right outside of it. We took a tour bus yesterday into Calgary and had lunch at the top of a tower, which looks a lot like the space needle in Seattle. Then we went to Heritage Park, which is a little bit like Knotts Berry Farm, lol, but it was all Canadian history, of course. Here are some pictures of it all. 

Tomorrow we leave and head out to Banff and see Lake Louise and a lot of beauty! We have gotten to know most people and went biking today with another couple and have been playing games also with others. All is well. Happy Father’s Day everybody! Love you all.

 Hi everyone! Hope all is well. In order for you to get a notification that I post something on the blog, I think you have to log in and make an account, which is fairly easy, FYI. We have had an amazing time in Shasta staying at Lake Siskiyou campground for 4 nights. Jennifer and Rob, and Christopher Ferrouge all joined us for this stay. Scott and Penny are here also. The men golfed on the most gorgeous golf course the first day! We’ve had a lot of fun, biking, and beach time and then today we rented a boat and caught five trout! It’s been so beautiful. Shasta dam and the sun dial in Redding are shown below too.  Tomorrow we plan on going to some waterfalls with the family, and then going separate ways and continuing with Penny & Scott. Next stop is Crater Lake! Shasta Dam Sundial in Redding Jennifer & I biking the trail around the lake  Lake Siskyou Penny & Tilly, Oreo & I

Took a ferry across to Top of the World Highway and then Chicken, Alaska! & more! (Dawson City, Tok, Fairbanks)

Chena River, Fairbanks  Hi everyone!    One of our highlights this week was driving the Top of the World highway. It definitely felt like the top of the world! The roads are crazy, rough, and we ended up in the little town of Chicken. They’re downtown was a saloon, Café, and gift shop. We have been in several Cities with tours, talks, and shows. A salmon bake, sternwheeler ship excursion, potluck for July 4, and more. We saw a fox, and Caribou while driving. We arrived in Fairbanks, the other day, to actually stay for four nights, finally! The only thing that is a little bit of a problem here, has been a fire nearby and lots of smoky air. Francois’ has been fishing a few times and caught a few little trout. I think we are having it for dinner tonight. The weather has been in the 80’ the last few days with no rain. We are staying at the Fairbanks/Chena Northpole KOA right now. Congratulations to Alex and Kiana, our nephew who got married yesterday in Idaho! So thrilled!...
