On the Road to Calgary

The day has finally come for us to cross out of the US and into Canada.  Before heading out, we gathered all the paperwork we might need to cross the border.  From past experience, we know that sometimes they ask for everything and then again they do not want to see anything; you never know.  When we got to the border, there was quite a line waiting to cross.  After waiting about thirty minutes, our turn arrived.  The border person could have cared less what we had in the RV.  He did run our license plate and once he confirmed we had not stolen the truck passed us forward into Canada.

This area is rich in dinosaur fossils including eggs and bones.  Drumheller is one of the sights where a large facility was built to house many of the finds.  We visited it when we lived in Canada; it was very interesting
There are lots of ponds and small lakes dotting the farm land.  It was interesting how even though the temperature was in the 60s, the lakes were still frozen over.
The land is flat and rolls on and on.  Very different from what we have been seeing.
There are many wells pumping what we think is natural gas but it could be oil.  In any case, the landscape was dotted with them.
