Our entrance back in the the US from Canada went much smoother than entering Canada.  No COVID testing or proof of our vaccinations needed for better or for worse.  On our drive from Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada to Glacier National Park in Montana we passed through Cardston (Alberta Canada) where a big billboard was advertising a carriage museum (the world’s largest collection!). Seeing that it wasn’t a particularly long driving day we took the bait and stopped.

Sometimes travel days are drawn out and down right miserable whereas other times, such as this time, our traveling day led to some fun unexpected adventures.

Old Tucson was a short but bumpy drive away from our BLM camping spot.  It is a replica of an old western town which has been used and still is being used in numerous films, which the town proudly displays.  

What on earth is Meow Wolf?  And what kind of name is that anyway?  Well, I’ll tell you the name sounds fitting after you have been to this strange world!

We were passing by Area 51 which apparently is where aliens once landed so of course we had to stop by.  Well, lucky for onlookers, we just so happened to pack the girls’ alien suits.

We found some nice BLM land near Tucan to boondock on that was close to Tucan and the Arizona Desert Museum. Justin and I had visited this museum previously when we were just dating so we knew it was a good one.  Justin’s mom happened to be visiting Tucson, so we planned to meet up with her for a day at the museum.
