Cardston, Canada

We have had a very warm welcome into Canada. Although we were a team of of 8 worn out riders rolling into Lee Creek Campground, we were quickly re-energized upon discovering the Wifi and its password. As a result, both Jade and Webby were able to post sweet pictures, and I have no doubt that the Instagram world is very grateful. After some showers (in which you had to push the button every few seconds to keep the water running), we were greeted by some very nice Canadians who were grilling burgers and hot dogs for our dinner. Mayor Maggie and Mr. Dave Smith both addressed the team. Mr. Smith provided us with a lot of interesting information on Canadian involvement in World War II and the country’s recent peace-keeping efforts. After that, we chowed down on our burgers and hot dogs. Gabby and Webby went out on a limb and tried, and enjoyed, some ketchup flavored potato chips… I also tried them and I can’t say that I enjoyed them quite as much. Mayor Maggie then gave each rider his or her own pin and water bottle with the Cardston town logo. We each also received a mini Canadian flag! Later, in a hilarious 20 minute escapade, Jamie attempted to back up the van and the trailer in a way that would allow us to drop the trailer for the night. He finally did it, but the van emerged from the adventure without a front license plate… Thankfully, front license plates are not a requirement for trips to Dairy Queen! Sorry to rush out, but seriously, I need to stop writing this and go get in a sleeping bag because I am getting eaten alive by mosquitos.


Talk to y’all soon,
Mary Elmore
