MX Trip Entry #2

We left home right on schedule; at 7:00 hours even though driving in the dark is not my strong suite. However by 7:30 is was getting daylight and the traffic was light, so not a problem.

We stopped in Taber for a Breakfast sandwich and a coffee for breakfast. This 5 min stopped took over 20 minutes and there was nobody ahead because they only had one sandwich maker while 3 teenage stood around swamping stories ( I assume ) about their boyfriends. Yep; they need a new manager.

I picked up a bottle of Gibson's finest at the duty free ( Carroll didn't want a bottle this time ) and there was about a 20 minute wait at the border. The attendant ask us 3 questions: Where you from ; Where you going; and How long you staying, followed by "have a good day". 

It started to lightly snow as soon a s we crossed the border and stayed until we reached Great Falls. After that it was clear sailing with bare dry roads until we stopped overnight in Dillon , MT. We covered nearly 500 Miles. 

We stopped in Shelby and Boulder for fuel and it was 2.79 a gallon. We hope it gets cheaper, as Idaho is normally less expensive then MT. 

Life is 10 % what happens to you and 90 % how you react to it.
