We got away from the loonies and came to our cents

Yesterday morning we departed Drumheller for Medicine Hat, Alberta. It rained all the way to MH, when we got there they said they were under a flood warning due to heavy rains north of there. We decided to pass the attractions at MH since it was raining and we didn't want to float down stream. Went straight south on a road called wild horse and crossed the border at wild horse into Montana. Spent all our loonies before leaving MH, the Canadian dollar is a coin with a loon on it, nicknamed a loony.

Wild horse road from MH to Havre, Montana was well over 120 miles with no fuel stations nor much of any thing else. What few homes there were were collapsing and abandoned, no power lines in sight, some cattle. It was kind of a weird scene like the movie North by Northwest where Cary Grant was out in the empty plains by himself and all of a sudden was attacked by and airplane. Fortunately we weren't attacked and had enough fuel to get to Havre. We were boarded by the US border patrol and they confiscated our tomatoes, I complained that they were US tomatoes we brought into Canada, they asked for proof, had none, bye bye tomatoes.


Wild Horse road, it goes on to infinity
