We got up late, 7:45 am. We had a shower and Marcel cooked us breakfast...what a wonderful guy!!! After saying goodbye, we were on the road by 9:40 am. We drove south on Hwy 22 to Carstairs where we took on fuel @ $1.16 then onwards on Hwy 2 south. At Ft McLeod, we turned east on Hwy 3 to Lethbridge and stopped for fuel again @ $1.139. From here it was Hwy 4 south to the border where we had absolutely no hassles and were through within 5 minutes; the highway is now I-15. Most of the way, we had mostly clouds and a little rain at times. Temperature was 57*F when we left and 78* and sunny in Great Falls Montana. We arrived in Great Falls around 6 pm, fuelled at Flying J...$3.64/gal, and stopped for the night at “DICK’s RV PARK” by the river. We are all set up and glad to be off the road; it was a long day!
We spoke to our friend Donna earlier and she told us news about our Park; the East section is all flooded now and she sent us pictures which I have posted in folder #87
We travelled 383 miles
(621Km) @ an average 56MPH in 6hrs and 55 minutes and stopped for 1.5 hrs.

I was up and ready to go by 7:30 am. I drove to the Ford Dealer to find out about fixing the A/C on the truck but they were booked solid so came back to the campground, hooked up and were on the road by 8:30 am. I stopped at a Verizon dealer and got a stick for WIFI. We then stopped for breakfast and were finally on the go by 9:45 am. We headed East on highway 87 south/200 East and stopped in Lewiston for fuel at 3.69/Gal. The scenery was mainly rolling hills and fields of grass and wheat. From Livingston to Circle, the scenery was much the same except with a lot more rolling hills. It really became tiring after a while. In Circle, we fuelled @ $3.74/gal then it was south east on 200S to I-94 and our destination, Glendive. We arrived here at 17:30 pm and camped at Green Valley Campground for $21.40/night. We left this morning with cloudy sky and temperature of 18*C and arrived in Glendive in sunshine and 35*C (100*F). It is hot and humid; we had a thunderstorm rolling through but right now it’s clearing up. I didn't realize it but we have stayed here in Glendive in a different Park a couple years ago!
We travelled 584 KM (359
