Out of Canada into Idaho = )

We woke up and drove down by the lake. The sun was just coming out. After it was light we went into town to a little café called Zuma and sat down to have a cup of coffee and share a bagel. We then took a drive to see Cameron Lake just about 12 miles into Waterton National Park. Another beautiful view! We didn't even get out of our pj's until we headed on down the road towards the United States Border. At customs we had to get out of our van and a huge x-ray machine went over about 6 cars/trucks. We were cleared to cross the border, and we headed back down into Montana, over the Crowsnest pass, and into Idaho. As we entered one town in Idaho we saw a group of folks on horses leading a bunch of cattle across the road. Some of the riders were struggling, and all we could figure is that they had paid to ride a horse and have the experience of herding cattle = ) Oh how our ancestors would laugh if they could see how we PAY to do, what they HAD to do in order to make a living = ) We also saw many wind power, energy systems just covering the hills, and signs warning of wind gusts. When we finally decided to stop for the night we were in Sands Idaho, and I spoke to my dad who filled me in on what was happening in the news. He told me of the presidential debate that was to take place tonight. He insisted we get a hotel where we could relax and watch the debate, and told us he would cover the cost. We did just that! It has been many chilly nights sleeping in the van, long drives on winding roads, and cleaning up in bathrooms where people give us funny looks! = ) It feels so nice to have a real bed, a warm room, and a private bathroom. It’s funny though, we’ve been on the road so long, it almost feels weird = ). Tomorrow we are going to give our “house”/van a good cleaning and get the fluids, tires, breaks checked, oil changed, etc. In other words a Spa Day for Lenny = ) Then we will head on down the road and into Washington State! Hope this blog finds everyone doing well!!! We love and miss you!!!!
