Oh, the scenery is so much better today. We saw two coyotes trotting along on the side of the road, two baby fawns grazing, and a very proud mother doe. We also saw many buffalo. Finally we stopped at Swan Lake Campground just after the border of British Columbia. Happy 4th of July from Canada. We are celebrating with Canadian beer, ribs on the fire (Kevin a nice canadian gave us wood), corn on the cob, and potatoes. Every step of the way, there is more day light. It stays light out until 1:00 in the morning. Even the children are still riding their bikes at this time. No one is ever up at 8:00 am when we wake up. There seriously is only about 5 hours of night time. It has been a grueling drive. It is really tiring, especially for Mike. He is the driver and I am the map watcher and campground guide. We are averaging about a providence a day. 1600 more miles to go!
