Good morning to all.
We went to the St Mary Lodge to try the Wifi thing and as usual it isn't working. We asked about other access and were told the Exxon station had service for pay. The cost was $3 for 15 minutes. I took my computer in and connected and updated email sent and received. AT&T has no bars in this area, so we purchased a calling card and called Jay and others.
With all my new found freedom (time) on my hands, we decided to come back to the camp and do nothing. I checked the oil and the water on the Suburban (ok) and did some other maintenance items on the trailer. I picked up some of the outdoor stuff in preparation for the short trip to Calgary. We did a hike of loop B and check the other campsites. It was about 60% occupied. We made a campfire, cooked hamburger meat and had soft tacos. The temps are down into the mid 50 during the night and the mid to upper 70's during the day. Perfect weather so far.
Broke camp about noon today and headed north. At the Piegan Port of Entry we were asked why we were traveling in Canada and then waved on through. We not even asked for passports or ID of any kind. Gasoline has been costing us around $2.59-$2.79 in the US and so far maybe about $2.90 in Canada. We weighted our rig on a scale in Cardston, AB and found it to weigh total of 14441lbs, trailer and Suburban. We are going to have to keep the rock collecting down as we are already on the heavy side. Nice set of electronic scales along side of the road. On board, 20 gals of fresh, no gray, no black and about 25 gals of gasoline.
We are now in a campground just on the east side of Calgary. This place is really busy with the Calgary Stampede going on. The place has good Wifi, so we can catch up on email and phone calls using Skype. Prices go up during the Calgary Stampede, $31 and no hookups. Maybe sometime tomorrow, I will post some pictures.
