Alberta Canada



 
After leaving Theodore Roosevelt National Park we spent a couple of nights in Great Falls, MT at Malmstrom AFB to resupply, do laundry, and clean the coach. Savannah got a good brushing with her furminator. Nice RV park.
Passing through customs was no problem. Our first stop in Canada was at Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump in Fort McLeod, AB. They had a large RV/Overflow parking lot that they invited us to use for the night. It was very peaceful.
And had a fantastic view of the mountains.
 
The design of the museum is amazing. It is built into the side of the hill.
 
 
They had many displays and presentations to explain the history of the sight.
 
There were a lot of animals on the site, like this marmot. 
 
From the upper viewing level you get a good view of the actual cliff.
 
This is a fantastic place with wonderful people. Don't pass it by.
 
Our next destination was Banff National Park. Of course we needed a little adventure so we somehow missed a turn and ended up in downtown Calgary. It's a nice town, but a little congested in the afternoon. We came to an overpass (no warning until we got to it) with a clearance of 11 feet. A local lady came and helped us. We blocked the lane while we unhooked the truck, and turned the RV around in a driveway. The nice lady stopped all the traffic while I turned around. Sue followed me in the truck as I made my way back to the highway. BUT the cover came unsnapped and blew up over the windshield. She had to pull over and remove the cover. She finally caught up to me on the highway.
