Cruising through Canada

We left Waterton this morning after Braden's pancake and sausage breakfast. Brandon, the vintage Honda rider came over to join us. We took group photos to post on our respective blogs. After saying good bye to Brandon we looked around Waterton as Brandon rode off to Vancouver, BC. Today we were not on a very tight schedule for our ride to Cardston. Lynda and Roger left first, followed by Don and Mary, Braden drove the pickup, Art and I headed up to see the Prince of Wales Hotel which overlooks Waterton. It is a grand old hotel that was built in the 20's. After our tour of the lobby and a quick look around we departed for Cardston. The ride was a good one but still had a few hills to climb, got a little rain and made it in to the Lee Creek campsite. Unique to Cardston is that in the late 1800's Brigham Young sent some missionaries to Mexico and Canada to establish Mormon churches. As a result Cardston and the surrounding area is heavily populated by Mormons and there is a beautiful tabernacle in the city that was built by the Mormons. Tomorrow it will be back in the USA and on our way to Cutbank, MT.
