By the time I am witing this the bikers should be about 100 miles from the USA border in Montana. Matthew called from Okotoks, Alberta where they camped in the woods last night after another frustrating day trying to track down the elusive packages. They came up empty again as they did not make it to the Calgary post office in time. It was not from lack of trying. To hurry the journey t
hey put their bikes in the back of a cowboy's pickup and rode a few miles closer to Calgary. Their last ten mile dash to the Calgary post office came up short as they arrived just after closing. Do not expect the bikers to plan any endorsements for Canada Post. Rather than stay in a big motel in Calgary t
hey tried to find a campground near Okotoks but were told it was full. Needing only a little spot for a tent they found some woods by the campground and had a good night even though the night was filled with a heavy thunderstorm. They slept well and kept snug and dry in the little tent. The highway has not been as flat as needed for a quick ride and today they have been faced with a headwind. Such are the challenges of riding a bike from Alaska to Montana. The fishing has slacked off as they have been riding fast in search of mail and the terain is mostly farm land. They will be close to mountains as they near Glacier National Park probably late Sunday afternoon.
The first town in Montana looks to be Babb.
