Day 5 - August 3, 2006

We finally made it!!!!!

I am sorry the entry is late. Chip will probably be mad, but he is on the way flying anyway, so he couldn't post this entry anyway...haha.

We got to Calgary last night around 7:30. Yesterday was so long because we were so ready to get out of the van.

We drove up through Montana on a 2-lane highway and it was really empty! There were a few really small towns that really remind you of the old west.

I don't think they have upgraded since 1850.

It was funny because each town may have one little gas station, but all of them have a bar!

Crossing the border was pretty easy. We didn't even have to get out of the car.

I did see Montgomery Gentry's bus at the border. I guess they were getting searched
because they had over $10,000 on board.

Last night when we got to Calgary, we met up with Josh and his family and
went to Red Lobster to eat. It was great getting some familiar food.

Today everything will start getting busy as the team arrives and we have to take
care of all the registration stuff.

If I don't get to write tonight, Josh or Shawn will.
