I think this is day 10 Thursday and we finally have cell phone service again. We are in Edmonton Alberta and I will try to summarize the last few days. Sunday we were in Billings, had a hard time finding a church, but finally got to 9 am mass. Got on the road about 11, went though Great Falls and on to St. Mary Mt. which is on the east side of Glacier NP. We had a wonderful camp site at a KOA with a great view of snow capped mountains. The first day was very cloudy and a little rainy but the second day was bright sun. Temps were 40s to 60s......just great. The main road though the park is the Going To The Sun Road over the top of snow capped mtns. It is normally open by mid June but this year, because it has been cold and wet ,it still was not open the last 10 miles at the top. We drove in from both sides as for as possible. Awesome views with lots of water falls from melting snow....I hope our pictures turn out.
Had lunch at the visitors center and generally a couple very nice days.
Wednesday we took off, crossed into Canada without a problem, and drove to Edmonton.
A couple things I forgot earlier......In Wyoming we saw a huge open pit coal mine with a couple of loaded trains heading east. I think this is where Ameren gets its coal. Second we went by Custer
battlefield in Montana.....the only big battle the indians won. Continued
