Wayne, i'd like you to keep me updated because when you come back across through South Dakota and Iowa, you will be very close to me. I'd gladly take a little half day road trip down to the 90 and 35 interchange in Albert Lea and meet up with you as it is only about an hour and a half away. You are one of the people on this forum that i'd LOVE to have the opportunity to meet! I'll send you a pm!

BTW I followed your trip and it looks like you drove through Duluth MN as well! My aunt lives in Superior WI. Could ahve met up with you up there! Usually go up a couple times a summer! Good roads!

 

Hi Janik, I have your number and I will definitely try and hook up with you. I'll give you lots of advance warning.
and yes we stopped in Duluth, MN.

 

Wow those are absolutely amazing pics Wayne! I'm so glad that you, Karen and the FX are enjoying yourself.

I want to go to Alberta after looking at those pics, just so beautiful!

Thanks for the travelog, love seeing what you guys have been up to

 

Wow, I have been missing out...kinda ashamed that I haven't been much more west than lets say Cambridge, ON. lol.

Awesome pics Wayne, making me want to jump in the car and just drive till I hit ocean.

 

The pics are crazy nice - pamphlet or advertisement quality!!!

 

Hi Guys, just arrived in Missoula, Montana. Time for a quick update.

It was a long day today.
Stayed in Grand Forks, BC last night, a great little town in the mountains.
Woke up this morning , washed the FX and got on the road around 9:30AM. Drove through lots of mountains today, from BC to Washington, (had lunch in Spokane) to Idaho, then to Montana. It was overcast and rainy through much of the run today. Drove just under 600 kms.
We now have put over 8,300kms on the FX this trip.

Just checked into a nice hotel in Missoula, going out for dinner and I will post a few pics later tonight if I get a chance..

 

Hi Wayne,
Looks like you have about 3000km to go (as the crow flies). I'm sure you'll enjoy every mm along the way.
Thanks again for taking the time and posting such great pics for us to see.

 

Thanks Paul, we have lots of places we want to check out yet.
We had planned on doing the Logan Pass route Logan Pass Route, but it still has up to 7 feet of snow on it (we tried it a few weeks ago when we were in Southern Alberta and it was closed). We are also planning on going through Yellowstone Park to see Old Faithful and also travel to Hardin to see the site of Custer's Last Stand and many other places..

 

Good stuff Wayne, You guys are covering a LOT of territory!
...loving the pics

 

More pics please!

I am REALLY envious of your road trip Wayne, would really love to do that myself!

 

Yeah, keep the pics coming Wayne. Your photography is great and no doubt there's so much to see!

 

I just spent 1 1/2 hours getting pics ready to post, then I wrote the post for this update and this Fu--in site swallowed it.
I give up.

 

^damn......

 

Just an update, We stayed the last 2 nights in Gardiner Montana and toured Yellowstone Park in Montana/Wyoming for two days, just WOW, it was fantastic, we put on 450 kms just touring the park
I am still afraid to post pics (I have hundreds) ever since g35driver inhaled them and they disappeared in the Black Hole.

Today we drove to Cody, Wyoming, home of Wild Bill Cody. There is a 4 day celebration going on here with a pro stampede and the works.
I'm off for a swim in the pool right now.
