Ok, WiFi has been a little weak at some places so here is an update.
We were in Dicks's RV in Great Falls MT for a couple of nights where we met with Joan and their traveling companions. We visited the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center which is well done and well supported by Docents. Although it was very cold and dreay we had a very good visit.
From there we were off to Lethbridge AB to stock up on a few viddles that we could not take across the border to Canada. We had planed to overnight at Bridgeview RV but since it was a holiday weekend, Victoria Day, they would only accept 3 night stays. Joan and here group went on to Daisy May CG in Fort Macleod. We choose to do a WalDock in Lethbridge. Ok, WalDock is where you are allowed overnight in your RV at a Wal Mart facility. Usually parked in an out of the way section of the store.
Next we traveled to Fort Macleod to meet with Joan and wait for Wally and Ann to arrive. The next day we went to Head Smashed In buffalo jump. We were very impressed with the site and recommends that make plan to add it to there travel itinerary. We also toured the Fort where the North West Mounted Police, later RCMP, were headquartered.
OK for now I will leave and bring up to Banff, and north.

Wally Docking
We drove to Lethbridge AB to day, be very windy and rain. Joan and crew last Great Falls some time before us. She had made a call and found a spot at Daisy May CG and we choose to do the WalMart thing.
No issue at the border.

We didn't like the Awning anyway
Well before we get to that you have to see what we have been up to for the last while. We are current at Great Falls MT and have met up with our friend Joan and her crew. Tomorrow we travel to Lethbridge AB,
Ok the history.
After we left Ajo we went to Parker AZ and had a few relaxing few days and of course went to Lake Havasu City to see the London Bridge, We took a strand along the shore line enjoyed the replica of various Light Houses. We toured the welcom center/museum and left for a lunch and return to the Blue Water RV CG,
Next it was off to Las Vegas at the Roadrunner CG and meet up with our full-time friends Dan and Bev. We had a very nice visit and evening dinner. The next day we were off to Hoover Dam and a driving tour along the lake and a ride and some hiking around Valle of Fire State Park. We had a little side trip to "Lost City" . This a nice museum and we are glad we took the time to see it.
Most of our travel from Voyager has been on secondary roads. And I loved it. So with that said we left Vegas and drove a few miles on I15 and turned off to US93, the Great Basin, one of the greatest ride. Good road, low traffic, like damn near none. We stopped for the night at Young's CG in Caliente NV. We didn't disconnect the jeep and did not visit any of the sites in the area.
Another long lonely drive to Baker NV for a couple of nights at Border CG, a wide spot at the NV-UT border. We were here to see the Great Basin NP. It can be dark here and this is the place so see the night sky, We took a drive to Ely NV to see the NV Northern Railroad Museum. This is worth the drive and price of the admission.
From there we were off to Arco ID to visit the Craters of the Moon NM. Not near nowhere but you can see nowhere from here. We enjoyed the volcanic fields.
No there is where the awning comes into the picture. So I was pulling into the site, the only near any close, and I didn't LOOK UP or wait for Suzette to wait to guide me in So the 8" branch that caught the awning roller. Stop. It is Sunday, no one to call. Can't move front of back. Lick our wounds, get the bed slides out have dinner and sleep. The next day a fellow came to help. They put a chain and pulled on the limb and some strain to give some clearance, turn the coach wheels, pull forward, full lock the other way, back out. Nothing left to other do and remove the awning roller and support the arms so we could travel. We didn't like the awning anyhow because it was on the roof above the slide which is a 30" slide so id didn't shade much as the sun set and didn't come over to give much cover.
What are we going to change. Beats to us but we are going to Alaska anyway. As Scarlett said " I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow."
We had an overnight in Butte MT and then on I15 to Dick's RV in Great Falls MT. We were going to Lethbridge AB but it is the long weekend of Victoria Day and only the CG's we could find only offered a 3 day stay. So we are hanging out here another day with the cold and rain.

Back on the road
Yesterday we spent the day having having the annual service completed on the coach. Arrived at 0900 and pulled out at 1500, lube, filters, oil. What a pain.
After we returned to Voyager we were parked in a pull-thru pull site and visited our friends for our goodbyes and did a couple of finish tasks to get ready to travel.
We arrived in Ajo and stayed at Shadow Ridge CG which is a Passport America park. Only 95 degrees, but a warm heat. We took a little ride as well as got things set up.
It was about a 147 mile trip. The site, #3, sort is on the narrow side with some slope but not bad.
Of course we went to Organ Pipes NM. Very interesting and worth the trip.
