Drove through Willow Bunch, which is in a valley. This is funny because Saskatchewan is supposedly flat.

We have now crossed into the USA into Montana State. Some of us have never been to the US before. The border guards are nice.

Since we didn’t go to church today (it was an hour and a half drive in the opposite direction), we have sang a song, read a talk from “The Friend” and the May 2010 conference, Kristina paraphrased revelations received in Far West Missouri , an intermediate hymn, more paraphrasing.
We’ve come across an abandoned train near Redstone, Montana.

Saw a guy on a unicycle in Plentywood just as we pulled in to get gas.
Strange using imperial system. speed limits are also much higher here and mom doesn’t like it: especially when they don’t have many warning signs of things ahead on the road.
Three vehicles near us have license plates from Montana, Colorado, and Texas.
There are lots of doubles of name of towns and cities. I saw a sign for Regina and some other town in Alberta (But these signs were for Montana)

We stopped at Medicine Lake and took pictures. Sadly, shortly after we crossed the border into Montana, a flock of birds hit the front of our van.– Victoria
Between 1:30 and 2:00 pm, we stopped at a rest point at Culbertson to go to the bathroom and cook 2 cans of pea soup. We me an Albertan couple there from around Red Deer.
2:33 pm – Saw someone getting a speeding ticket.
Entered North Dakota at 2:36 pm. Highest temperature recorded a few minutes ago was 87 F/31C

Stopped to look at the view of the Little Missouri River. Crossed the river, went up the toher side of the valley and discovered the highway was missing. It is just a dirt and gravel road. Some parts are really rutted and soft. It’s the weirdest “construction” project we’ve ever seen. Kristina took a video of it.
