Long day from Sand Point, Idaho to Swift Current. By the way, Sand Point, recommended by Karin's brother Nels and our sis-in-law Gwen, is worth a return visit someday when we have the time -- beautiful lakeside and a very quaint town. Wind warnings issued along our route -- so it was a hard drive in our tiny Corolla. But the border crossing was easy, no questions and took under five minutes, and we were okay once we adjusted to the jump fuel prices ($1.34/litre & the exchange rate = $5.40/gal at the border). Hope it's cheaper in Saskatchewan. We crossed through the Crowsnest Pass, and the scenery was magnificent. We paid our respects at the Frank Landslide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Slide), and stopped a few times to stretch along the way, but otherwise, stayed at it all day and Jim led the way to the jacuzzi at the Super 8. Home tomorrow, how surreal that will be!
You're getting closer to home, I can feel it! Your garden will be so happy to see you!
ReplyDeleteI think we timed it about right. Should be putting in garden this weekend or next. C'mon by and see for yourself!
