Memorial Day - Medicine Hat

     We are at the Gas City Campground in Medicine Hat, Alberta.  It is rainy and 58F.  It was windy driving today.  The truck went into low gear several times just from pushing into the wind.  We have been sleeping very well due to the new 2" foam mattress pad that I added to the bed.  It was a good investment.  We are both really comfortable on it.
    We drove to Havre, Montana and then north.  The road was narrow, but good and very straight for about 80% of the drive.  The area by Cypress Hills Park was much more hilly, but just fine except for the wind.
    We had no problems getting through customs at the border.  This is a very quiet entrance into Canada.  We only saw about four cars on the road for the 50 miles into Canada.  It is very flat with lots of wheat.  We saw many antelope again, both running in the fields and dead on the road. 
     Medicine Hat is bigger than I thought it would be and growing very fast with lots of stores and RV repair places.  We are staying in a city-owned campground.  There are lots of big trees, well spaced sites and very little freeway noise.  It really feels like we are on our way now that we have made it to Canada.
