Surprise....we ain't in Banff !!!!!!

Yes, we did leave Calgary and the next stop for two nights was Fort MacLeod. The tour of the original fort was very informative and the NWMP musical ride was good as well. It is performed by students, most of whom had not ridden before this year. Prior to going into town,we had done a tour of Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump. This is a location where the native people drove herds of buffalo off a cliff in order to obtain meat for their winter. It was a very complex procedure as in the beginning, they didn't have horses and relied on stealth to get in behind the herd and get it to the cliff.
Your map will show you we did not go to Banff etc as mentioned in the previous post........way too expensive and we had seen it on an earlier trip. We are in Lethbridge for tonight ( Friday ) and Saturday. We bought tickets to the airshow here tomorrow, however as CF-18 Canadian Forces plane crashed there this afternoon, just after we checked in at the campground. The pilot managed to eject safely, although we has bruised up. We are now waiting to hear if the show will go on or not. The plane came down nose first.....nothing left.
After leaving Lethbridge, we will be USA bound again, with the first stop planned to be Shelby Montana.
