Going in to Canada on Friday 6/3/2011

We had enough rain to last us for a while. In Conrad it has rained for 6 of our 7 days. So Friday, 6/3 it was time to leave the good old US of A and drive into Canada. We hooked up in 47 degree weather and rain. Not fun and my hands felt like ice cubes. But off we go to cross the border. We had to wait in line for about 15 minutes then it was our turn. We handed the lady our passports and she asked us a few questions and said to have a nice visit. So off we went to Lethbridge, Alberta and the Henderson Lake Campground. We got there around 1 , had lunch and decided to drive around and see the city.
I wanted to see the High Level Bridge. The bridge is 314 feet high and 1 mile and 47 feet long and is the longest and highest trussel bridge in the world. It was built in 1909 by the Canadian Pacific Railway and took 9 months to build.
The Campground is nice and centrally located to see Lethbridge. This is the first campground that I had to pay for my dogs, $5 and pay for the internet $3.15. So the price is a little over $50 per night for a pull thru with electric and water only.  The exchange rate at Walmart was 8% . so $80 USA is $73.60 Canadian and the cost of fuel is around $4.70 per gallon of diesel. Less than regular gas, Also don't use cash in Walmart. Oh well the cost of having the time of our lives:)
