Tuesday evening we arrived at Fairmont Hotsprings around dinner time. We setup and met with many of our fellow Altoistes including a few that we had met before in North Carolina. It made for a fun but long day.
Wednesday was a leisurely day of socializing with Altoistes including touring the Altos which took over two hours. We had a potluck dinner and conversation around the fire.
Thursday, the weather turned against us and it was lightly raining as well as cold. We spent most of the day cozied in our Alto, reading and napping (me). We were also trying to get rid of the cold that is plaguing us both - no real success there. In the afternoon we chatted with various Altoistes and in the evening we managed another potluck dinner although it was very lightly raining for the latter half.
Friday morning we broke camp. Most of the Altoistes were leaving to carry on their own trips or return to home base. We headed off towards Yellowstone which would take us a couple of days to reach. Tricia found us a camping spot near Pincher Creek Alberta. The camp is called Waterton Reservoir Recreation Area. Very small, with no services which made four days of boondocking. Things were looking good there until we finished cooking dinner at which point a storm rolled in. The winds were freezing cold although the rain was not too heavy! We ate our dinner in the Alto and that night we actually used the furnace to heat us up a bit. The next morning we would cross the border into Montana.
