Alaska Trip - Day 19

Had pancakes for breakfast in hotel. A strange man was hanging around the only phone booth we saw, so Eileen and Cathy passed on calling home. I tried to get some cash with a personal check at the Bank of Montreal - we are running out! The lady teller was not nice (that's an understatement! Isn't this Canada?) - but I got some anyway. This process, along with some shopping for supplies in Safeway, took nearly two hours. Cathy was so bored that she stood up on the hood of our car and then walked across the roof to the back! Drove towards USA on Highway 16. Took Highway 11 to Regina. In the evening, the damage that the GLC has sustained (tires, headlights, windshield) finally caught up with us. A trooper in Saskatchewan pulled me over and gave me a citation for a burned out headlight. That's a bummer. We took the wrong (I maintain it was just a "different") road and hit the US-Canada border on Highway 6 (Montana vice North Dakota). Easy crossing - I can't believe there was even anyone waiting at the little border checkpoint (it was pretty remote)! They only talked to me about what I was doing out at 2300 on the road. We caught Highway 5 in Montana, then US 52 and US 2. Finally stopped at rest stop to catch some zzz's.
