GOODBYE U.S.A. - HELLO CANADA

Kootenay Rockies, British Columbia -  Cold and rainy with a side of avalanches, flooding and evacuations - Welcome to Canada

Waterton Glacier International Peace Park

We drove in the rain most of yesterday afternoon, crossing the Waterton border which is the other end of Glacier National Park where the Peace Park is located.  We crossed without incident, surviving the floods and road washouts along the way.  Happily, we arrived safe and sound at Alton and Wendy King's home in East Kootenay.  They live in a nice secluded area on two plus acres and they had a nice RV site with full hookups waiting for us.  We met Al and Wendy six years ago in Benson, Arizona.  They also drive a Commander motorhome and we formed the Commander's Club.

Spring flowers welcomed us to Alberta - Our first time in this part North America

No rain at the moment

Al and Wendy invited us to tasty homemade shrimp creole dinner.  There's nothing better than reconnecting with friends over good food, conversation and wine.  They told us that roads have closed in the direction we're heading and it might be a good idea to hunker down with them for a few nights.  I think this is a good plan.

Sharing good times and good food

They closed this road shortly after we passed

It's rather scary seeing the road wash away

I'm still not used to seeing the free-range cattle

This was a sad day in Frank, Alberta's history

Here it is - The World's Largest Truck - The Titan 33-19

That's all folks - thanks for stopping in.
