3 Days on the Road



Fri-Sat-Sunday, July 13
We finished the Alaska Highway on Friday morning. We hit the Mile Marker 0 and kept heading south. So for the past 3 days we have done just about nothing, but drive. On Saturday we drove through Edmonton and Calgary Alberta. Mike wore his Red Wings tee shirt and he made it out alive. That doesn't say anything for the traffic there. If was awful. The people drove like maniacs and so we had to also. Tonight we are just outside of Helena, Montana. Only 3 hours from Yellowstone and Ole Faithful Geyser. We were just reading that there are more people in the city of Calgary than in all of the state of Montana. This place is as beautiful as Alaska. It just doesn't have the animals like Alaska did. Mike and I decided maybe we could live here. Maybe not. Well, like I said just driving the last couple days so the pics aren't as spectacular. But we'll see what we can find.
The first picture is of the Mile Marker 0 for the Alaska Hwy. The 2nd picture is of the Missouri River as it winds through Helena, Montana. It really is beautiful country
