Grand Fork, N.D.

We left the Rockies and  visited Calgary and  the 1988 Olympic Winter Park.

Carol rode the chair lift to the top and Garry went with Gail in her motorhome as they  drove to the top. Carol decided to go to the top of the High Ski Jump and look at the view.

We also got a close up look at the bobsled and luge slide. After a birthday dinner at a Great Japanese resturant for Gail's 65th BD, we headed to a casino to spend the night. In the morning, we left Gail and  headed across the plains of Alberta and headed up to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We spent the night at The Dakota Dodge Falls Casino outside of town that had free parking with electric hookup. What a deal. I didn't put any money in the slots here but we did go have a dessert and coffee.  I think I came out ahead this time. We then had a very long day of driving but crossed over the Canada/US border about 7:30 that night. 10 miles down the road we had cell signals again. We spent yesterday (Aug 26) crossing N.D. Flat land, many gas pipelines and cows. 

We did make a quick stop in Rugby, N.D. which is the geographical center of North America. (U.S., Canada and Mexico) Seemed like an odd thing but  there it is.
When we stopped for gas  it was $ 2.64 per gallon. Last night we were at the Air Force Base family Camp outside of Grand Forks. Our wonderful NPS Golden Age pass got us a full hook up for $6.00. My wallet is feeling much happier now.
