Sorry that there have been no posts, but North Dakota, Montana, and Alberta have very few wifi spots. 

So, what's been going on?  Well, the trip out was uneventful and I arrived in Iowa late Friday night tired, but ready to take off on Saturday.  After signing all of the paperwork, I headed north.  Ended up staying in a truck stop off the highway halfway thru South Dakota.  Sunday I made it to Medora, ND and stayed in Theodore Roosevelt NP.  The buffalo in the picture walked all around my campsite and several other sites as well.  He also had a few friends with him so it made everyones' day snapping pictures and watching them munch their way thru the sites.  I drove around the national park on Monday and then headed north thru Montana.  Lots of farmland and not much else.  Tuesday was a driving day so I could meet Joe at the Edmonton airport on Wednesday.  Yes, I did remember to get him.  We were able to make it to Hinton, Alberta yesterday.  So, that brings us to today, which has been great.  We drove thru Jasper NP, Canada and saw a herd of elk, mountain goats, an eagle, but most exciting---a momma bear with her 3 cubs.  We probably spent 15 minutes pulled off on the side of the road taking pictures and watching momma and kids.  The cubs were so cute, they were climbing up and down in the trees and playing with each other.  Mom kept a close eye on everyone who stopped and made sure the the cubs safe.  After that experience we continued driving west, up and down the mountains and thru several hail storms and snowstorms.  We are now parked in a campground with a river behind us and snow covered mts. surrounding us.  Tomorrow we head to St. Rupert, BC and board the ferry on Sat. morning.  Hopefully, we can get some wifi service within a few days so I can post our travels along with some pictures.  later folks.....
