Day 1 was definitely an Adventure!

Well folks we are now in the United States of America – Great Falls Montana. Yesterday was quite the day. Everything was fine until after Three Hills. Highway 1 was a nightmare. Snow was blowing across the road and the wind was howling. We counted 3 cars in the ditch in a very short stretch of highway. We eventually pulled over on the side of the highway by Brooks and had to unhook the van from the motor-home, due to the very icy conditions and the strong crosswinds. But then we got away from the snow storm and stayed overnight at Taber, at a beautiful campground. Did you know that they make sugar and Lay`s potato chips at Taber?

Ray is quite relieved the router and network thru Verizon is now setup and working perfectly - skype is working too!

Now it’s time for another trivia question!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations to Auntie Tracy Atkinson and the Werseen family who are the big winners (tie). The actual length of our rig with tow vehicle is 56.6 feet or 17.25 meters. Auntie Tracy, Merle, Terry and Rylee check your email for your prize in the next few days.

Today we visited the Wallmart Superstore in Great Falls – so guess what our question is about Wallmart -- Who can guess how many checkouts there are at the Great Falls Wallmart Superstore?

So we will continue to head south in the morning – cross your fingers for NO MORE SNOW!

P.S
Hooray for the Grade 2-3 class for registering a gmail account and making a Hands on guess for the trivia question! Keep it up 2-3s!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today the girls started on their mountain of school work while travelling – however; the picture you see of the books insn't their work – it's Carmen's planning books!!!!




Bye for now.
