Well! Imagine my surprise, after four days of trying and failing I just got an internet connection from Southern Alberta, Canada — the little town of Waterton to be precise, overlooking Upper Waterton Lake to the south. The United States is green and unguarded at the far end.

We are in the Prince of Wales grand hotel, recovering from a 5 hour hike on four hour legs yesterday.

Much to talk about but I’ll leave that for more time and a sturdier connection.
