Canadian wilderness

Waterton Lakes NP, Alberta Canada All that fuss over nothing about taking food over the border. You don’t need to declare any food going into Alberta, only British Columbia and some other place. They didn’t even ask us about our alcohol. Did we have firearms, bear spray or any other personal security device. Did we […]

A battle over land, which they won but lost again

Little Bighorn Battlefield, Montana Photo courtesy of VisitUSA Driving along the i90, I found a note I wrote last year to remind myself about the Battle of Little Bighorn if we were travelling through Montana.

Your ticket covers you for two days but we didn’t need that long. During the morning we were at the right place to be […]
