We left Canadian Barn Dance Friday the second of August in the rain and arrived at the border for a three hour wait to get back in to Montana.  Seems like it was a Canadian holiday and everyone was heading to the US. 
We arrived at Saint Mary’s, eastern entrance to Glacier National Park and the Road to The Sun Highway.  It was cloudy with a light rain. 
Saturday was still overcast but cleared  up just in time for our ride in the Red Jammers. It was a wonderful ride through the park, we stopped at the highest peak, Logan Pass and had a picnic dinner.  During the ride we saw big horn sheep and one black bear and many water falls.
Sunday we went to Church in Browning about 28 miles away,  Most of the parishioners were Native Americans and very friendly.  The very nice priest, said he had been at this parish since 1982 and loves it. The rest of the day was spent doing laundry and a little cleanup on the trailer. 
Monday morning we left Saint Mary’s at 6:30AM to beat the rush at the border and crossed into Canada in less than 10 minutes.  We arrived in Fernie BC about 11:30 after some sightseeing along the way.  We are dry camping at a large ski resort.
Monday at 5:00 we went on a raft trip on the Elk River for a little over two hours. Every thing was great until the last fifteen minutes when the thunder storm finally caught us and it started to rain.
Today was a free day and we checked out the town and some of the old logging roads in the area.  Tomorrow we are headed to Fort Steel.
