Making Good Time.

Well at about 11:00 Wednesday night Chuck sat up in bed. It scared me and I finally got out of him what was wrong--he had a toothache!! Of all the things I was prepared for, that was not one of them. Gave him an Aleve and he had some Ambesol in his kit so finally got to sleep. At 8am I was on the phone while he unhooked the truck. We ended up walking into the office of one of the three dentists in Glasgow. The gal at the desk was very nice and helpful and they did an immediate --ray and determined that it was a tooth that he had broke years ago and they had done a crown. Then a few years later they had to drill thru the crown to do a root canal. The filling had pulled away from the crown and it was infected. The doc slipped him in bbetween appts and cleaned it out and refilled and gave him a prescription for antibiotics.  We had lunch and got on the road about noon. Thank goodness he was able to get it taken care of so quickly!!

We got across the border thru Sweetgrass--smooth crossing with no inspection and just the routine questions. Stayed at Park Lake Provincial Park just north of Lethbridge. Had to call to make a "reservation" even though we were already there. No self registration and no on-site registration!! Weird! After supper Chuck took a walk down to the lake so guess he is feeling ok.

Great four lane roads all the way to Edmonton today. Saw a bad accident just before we stopped for the night inGrand Prairie. It was on The southbound lanes and traffic was backed up at least a mile. Squads and rescue and ambulance were just arriving.  We stayed at the Lions Club Campground on the edge of town.

Today was drizzly but pretty scenery. Saw a dead moose but so far no live sightings. We are now into British Columbia in a small campground on the Skianna River with a view of the river and towering lodgepole pines across.  We have been reading my notes from our trip eleven years ago. Fun to compare and jog our memories.   Will be back again when I have Wi-Fi!!
