Brendan drove me 103 miles south to the Canadian border with Montana. We got a couple of pictures at the same border monument I had tagged about five years ago. It was good to be continuing our bike trip to Alaska again. The terrain is rolling prairie grassland that is mostly converted to mega-wheat fields. For a few miles I rode along the Canada Grasslands National Park. We have seen lots of ducks and Canada Geese, also some hawks and coyote droppings. Road traffic is almost non-existent, no vehicles in the first ten miles of biking. All traffic, even the big trucks, get in the far left lane when passing me. The asphalt surface of the narrow road is riddled with potholes, probably a result of frost heaves. We had been advised that it was not suitable for an RV; good advice.
Brendan drove about 30 miles north and waited for me at the small town of Val Marie. We had lunch outside the Grasslands National Park Visitors Center, unfortunately it will not open for the season for two more days. We enjoyed lunch in their Adirondack chairs, temps were in the high 60s; perfect.
