Progress Memo   Crossing the border was a glorious feeling. Sue and I shared some wonderful emotions. Subsequently the border patrol agent walked over from the security area and offered to take a photo of the two of us. She was a very considerate person who shared our joy. I was very fortunate to have met Richard and Pam Mosier at the Choteau KOA RV Park where we were based the last eight nights. Richard encouraged me to take Hwy 464 from Browning, MT to Babb, MT and then continue on Hwy 89 to the Candian Border. On our return to Choteau down Hwy 89 we kept blessing Richard for his wisdom and direction. Hwy 89 from Browning to Glacier Park is extremely winding, narrow, no shoulders and a steep grade. The last day of riding was in the Blackfeet Nation. The border crossing was all the sweeter due to the second day of moderate to heavy northwesterly winds. Our apologies for the delay in getting the final update written. Internet access and reliability the last part of the trip became even more challenging than the first part of the trip. We want to express our gratitude to all of you who have provided support in your prayers, thoughts of us, checking the updates on the website, phone calls, emails, notes and for your generous donations.
