Will Air Suspension strand me?

Had a great time at Wrigley and my age might be showing, but I liked it more than some of the newer parks. We met several other couples from around the US there that just wanted to see a game at Wrigley too. The hotel van dropped us right off at the gate, so no parking hassle.
Because of the flooding in Alberta and Calgary, we have altered our itinerary to take in the Bad Lands, Deadwood SD, Glacier National Park and on to Spokane and Seattle to cross into Canada at Vancouver BC and then on up through Prince George. We plan on hitting Banff and Calgary the end of next month when we return.
The H2 has been running great. Last night the bugs were so thick I had to stop every 60 minutes to clean the windshield and headlights. We all know how those flat up and down windshields splatter bugs. I hope to finally use my golf clubs tomorrow. They take up a lot of room in the bed of the SUT and the wife thought I should have left them home. If we buy stuff I can always ship them home. Yesterday was our best gas mileage day of the trip, 13.1 running in the high 60 mphs. My H2 has never burned a drop of oil and it's living up to its reputation. Hope to submit some pictures from Glacier National Park when we get there.

Visited the Deadwood Cemetery yesterday and saw Buffalo Bill's grave. A short area by Hot Springs with 12" of water on the road was no problem for the H2 and the highway patrol let us through while they held others. Making a slight change in our itinerary to visit Yellowstone to appease my other half, although I know it's going to be crowded.

We bypassed Yellowstone and went straight to Grand Teton National Park, since neither one of us had ever been here before. One word - BREATHTAKING! Had a problem getting a room, so we broke out the tent, but spent most of the night in the Hummer. We met another couple in an H2 from Canmore, Alberta and they said the flooding has subsided in Calgary and Banff was untouched by it all, so we are back to our original itinerary up through Clagary and Banff as we head north. On this mountainous leg we averaged 10.8 mpg in the H2.

Grand Teton Park was great, but crowded. There was a backup crossing into Canada at customs that took us two hours. We made it to Banff and the Banff Springs Lodge. I could stay here forever, with gorgeous views out of every window. The elk and moose are everywhere here and you have to be very careful driving to avoid the wildlife. We have yet to see a bear, which is just fine with me.
Met a retired couple here from New Mexico that are going to Homer, Alaska in an RV and they've estimated it will take them 5000 gallons to get there and back. He's a retired airline pilot and his wife loves driving the RV so they take turns at the wheel. Met an interesting couple from Eagle, Alaska that invited us for dinner if we make it that far. The Hummer has run great with 2800 miles down and 2300? to go before we head back in August.

Insane, I envy you.

I've heard it's so beautiful, stay safe and keep us updated!

Got to play golf here in Banff yesterday in perfect weather. Yes, that shot sliced into the water If you like golf, you'd love Banff. I was told you can crop and resize your pics on your IPhone, but I'm having problems with that. We are heading out to Lake Louise tomorrow and then up to Whitehorse. So far the weather has been great.
