Last night in the USA

This is our last night in the USA. We left Lewistown around 9 am this morning. We could have left sooner but the water hose froze up and we wanted to fill the tank up before we left. We went out for breakfast while the sun warmed the hose and sure enough when we returned the sun had done its job.
We headed down Highway 87, drove through Great Falls and took  the I -15 up to Shelby.
It was a nice sunny day but the drive seemed long today. Possibly because the landscape didn't vary too much for the most part.  Most of the land was ranch land but we did see some farm land here and there as we did yesterday. 


We travelled up  some fairly large hills but "the ole girl" as we call the MH made it up without a problem.




I think it must get pretty windy  here as a lot of the ranchers have their house built in little places like this where they are sheltered by the hills. 









We got to Shelby and after asking a few questions we found a campground outside of town. We unhooked the car and went into town for a late lunch at Ringside Ribs. It was an interesting place.



I saw my first Easter Bunny Tree. It had Easter Egg lights and as you can see, an Easter bunny at the top and all around. Someone at the restaurant has a great sense of humor.

















Behind the tree was a group of pictures of some famous boxers and their stories. Below is the one of Jack Dempsey.





We returned to the campsite and hooked up the car for the last time on this trip. Tonight I pack up all my gear. Tomorrow  we will be driving to Hanna, Alberta where my sister will pick me up and Anna will continue down the road to Three Hills where she will stay for the summer. I will stay in Alberta for a month and then return to Vancouver, BC.

We have had a wonderful trip. I have met so many wonderful people, had such great times,  and seen so many amazing things. My memory card is more than full.  
One more day on the road.

Keep warm.
