8 weeks, 7,300 miles on the road and READY TO TURN TOWARD HOME!! Dealing with frost heave road conditions but made it through Canadian border without any crossing issues. Staying in a mix of Canadian Provencial Parks and RV parks and viewing Bison herd (75), black bears, caribou, black tail deer and big horned sheep, we made it to Dawson Creek and the end of the Alaska Highway. We did take time to celebrate Franklin's birthday and hang our sign in the SIGN POST FOREST at Watson Lake, Yukon. Hopefully someday somebody will happen upon it and think about us. (When you look at the picture, please don't ask us to explain "why the names ?") We also saw our first glimpse of Canola growing, which will be the first of many yellow blinding fields as far as you can see. July 13th!! 7 DAYS and surprised at HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO BE IN THE LOWER 48!! Montana is a breathtaking state that we definitely will visit again. Decided to take a side trip to Little Bighorn National Battlefield the location of Custer's Last Stand. Our one and only vehicle trouble occurred on Hwy 3 coming into Billings MT, a blowout on the camper, but Franklin changed quickly, found a tire company that was willing to stay open for us. All considering the problem was short lived, in the space 3 hours we were on the road again and heading to Garryowen, Mt. on the Crow Reservation. A few days R&R was nice at 7th Ranch with 50 to 100 mile views, Big Sky and just minutes from the battlefield. Touring the battlefield by bicycle was enjoyable and we were surprised at some of the history facts either never learned or forgotten. We quickly got a shock with the temperature change. HEAT TO AC IN ONE DAY! Nebraska is our next stop.
