  1. Good Morning #Canada
    We finally come to a river longer than 1,000 km with #17 on our #CanadaRivers countdown, but it comes with an asterisk. The Milk River, located in the extreme southeastern corner of Alberta, is the only river in Canada to flow into the Gulf of Mexico drainage basin. It has its source in Montana, flows north into Canada and then south to join the Missouri River near Fort Peck, Montana. Only 170 km of its total length of 1173 km is within Canada, and only 6,500 km2 of it's total 61,200 km2 watershed. In Alberta the river cuts a spectacular canyon, 150 m deep and over 1.5 km wide in places, straddling the Canada-US boundary. The river was named by Lewis and Clark because of the milky colour of the water coming off the glacier in the Rocky Mountains.
    The best thing about the Milk River area is the nearby Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park, a potential side tour if you're visiting Grasslands National Park.

  6. Do Our National Parks Need more RV sites in their Campgrounds?

    Some of the most breathtaking outdoor parks are in North America, but they have a shortage of RV friendly campsite facilities....
