Montana’s Big Ski Country Welcomes Yukon on the Scene


  Meet Yukon our traveling companion who has come out of hibernation. He actually joined the family in the summer of 2003 when we traveled through the interior of Alaska. You’ll be hearing more from him as we travel on through Canada. Montana brings truly vast and spacious with rolling hills, river and green valleys galore, and lots of horses. The Libby Dam Project along the 90 mile Kootenai River was fascinating. 





Just north at Rexford Bench Camp we met Dave, a Canadian from Calgary, who is bicycling onward and down along the Pacific coast to San Francisco. He pitched his tent and enjoyed the invitation to share supper and breakfast with us in the motor home. Yukon did a short one day trip with us in the Toad crossing the border into B.C. to visit Fort Steele Heritage Town. 





 We had a treat getting to see Clydesdale horses up close, several two week old colts, and a real live wedding at the Fort. Canada’s Most Famous Mountie, Sam Steele, spent a year posted at this Fort later named after him while in the NWMP and Canadian Military. We’ve looped back into Montana for a few days with only about 50 miles left ahead to reach Glacier National Park. Life is sweet on the road...rain,rain,rain.
