Just a short Blog this time on one interesting topic;

Next stop after Calgary, was the old west town of Fort Macleod and the Daisy May RV Park.

From where we went to a very interesting place called Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, which is a World Heritage Site.

This is where, for around 5,700 years, the Aboriginal People, used to stampede the Buffalo over a cliff, to gather enough food and provisions to enable them to live throughout the harsh winters.

Whilst this may seem rather cruel, to our modern sensitive culture, this was at a time, when this sort of activity was critical to survival.

Over the thousands of years that this site was used (which is one of the best preserved sites on the American Plains), the original cliff, which was about 60 feet high, was so full of Buffalo bones and remains, that it finished up when they stopped using the site, at only 30 feet high, which is what it is today!!

Ok, now for the serious stuff from the Blackfoot Tribe.

Anyone reading this blog has got to learn the following Blackfoot Tribe words and when we see you, you will be tested for proficiency – ready?

Yes, we will know who you are, because when we see you, you will have a bemused, confused look on your face.

Ok, onwards – As we ventured South towards the US border, the countryside was typical Cowboy country, with miles and miles of gently rolling hills and pasture/prairie land.

Before long we reached the US border, passed over without any problem and set off into Montana.

More again soon.
