Deer, Alberta, Canada. Click

| July 22. The Lions Campground is on
the Red Deer River. On this Sunday there were lots
of people floating down the river. This photo shows
the river and some of the college buildings across
the river. It is suitable as wallpaper. |
 |
| Many of the amusement park
attractions moved from the Calgary Stampede to the
Westerner Days in Red Deer this week. Next they go
to Edmonton. One local talented young lady did a
great Patsy Cline series of songs. The Ferris wheel
was a big draw. |
 |
| I played three rounds of golf at
Red Deer Golf & Country Club with my friend Rod
Stephen and his buddies. My scores were; 93, 93, 90.
The photos: Jack Dzaman, Rod Stephen, John
MacBeth; Larry, Ken Taylor, Jim Kozie, Mel Koenig;

| Rod Stephen and his lovely wife
Sharon live on the Red Deer golf course. They built
the subdivision that they now live in. The photos:
Rod and Sharon, the duplex - they live in the left
portion. Rod and Sharon spend the winter in Indio at
Outdoor Resorts - the place where I stay in the
winter. |
 |
| Lions Campground is an old park with lots of trees and
tight spaces. I could not get TV satellite reception
with my roof mounted antenna
- too many
trees. I used a tripod mounted TV antenna to get
DirecTV and the British Open. And I was
able to place the HughesNet satellite dish in an
open area about 60 feet from the coach. The park only has 30 amp electric service -
fortunately it is not too hot - I can get by with
one roof top air conditioner.

19. July 14 overnight in space A13 at the Pine Creek
RV Campground in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. A very nice park
south of downtown Calgary. Unfortunately the park is closing
next year - it has been sold to a developer. Click

| July 14. I took the CTrain to the
Calgary Stampede. It was a very easy,
comfortable ride and only $2.25 each way. There was
no one checking to make sure I bought a ticket. It
is on the honor system. Quit extraordinary. More
than 1.3 million people are expected to attend the
2007 Stampede. I think they were all there the
evening I attended. There are 32 major Carnival
rides on the Midway. The Ferris wheel is gigantic.

I crossed into Canada at the crossing called Piegan on MT 89 which becomes
Canada 2. It was an easy crossing. A young lady asked me a
few questions. I used my passport as ID.
| I took this photo, on Montana highway 89, of the
mountains that are part of the range used by the
Going to the Sun road which traverses Glacier
National Park. The road starts near East Glacier,
crosses Logan Pass then terminates near West
Glacier. Click
here or on the Google Earth map of Going To The
Sun road to fly to Glacier National Park. |

July 13 overnight in space 3 at the Sleeping Wolf Campground
in Browning, MT. Only 10 spaces in this run down park but
good 50 amp electric. There was no one in the park to take
my $20 payment so I left a check on the steps of the home on
the property. It was cashed. Native American Days were going on.
There are lots of Native Americans in this Blackfoot Indian
Reservation town. Click

 This
photo shows the entire Sleeping Wolf Campground. My
coach is the dark one. |
| US Highway 2 crosses the Continental Divide at
5,280 feet about 30 miles west of Browning, MT. This,
suitable as wallpaper, photo was taken from a rest
stop on the Continental Divide. |
