Today was the last day waking up in Canada, at least for a while, as we crossed the border into Big Sky Country and are planning to spend some time in the US now. Today was mostly driving again but the terrain was a lot different than it has been, it was flat as far as the eye could see, at least initially. We crossed the border at Coutts and headed south from there; the area seemed to be mostly farmland and it was all lush and green. It looked like they had had the rain the same as Alberta though in the last few days, as there were plenty of flooded areas as we drove through. The drive down through Montana was about 4 ½ hours of actual driving but we were on the road for about 7 hours altogether. I was quite looking forward to the drive as I figured it should be stress free since Montana is flat right? Wrong, turns out they do have some “hills” as I discovered 7500 feet later. Serena and Mike did fine, the only ones stressed were Tal-y and me.
Got to the campsite at White Sulphur Springs late this afternoon and set up in no time. It’s a nice little place, very clean and well kept with nice "neighbours" and we have internet, yeah; first time in a while. We watched the final episodes of Lost tonight, after Mike cooked dinner. Maybe I missed something, but what a dumbly (?) disappointing ending, I expected so much more.
Not sure what we are doing tomorrow but we are here until Saturday and hope to get to Yellowstone National Park and drive the Beartooth Scenic highway. I’ll let you know what we decide tomorrow.

Mike: Glad to be back in the states where food and gas prices don't break the budget!
I can actually make a phone call for less than 80 cents a min!
