Attached picture shows the location of Edmonton fairly well. KnightElite is right in it being about a 5 hour drive from the border to Montana (I've made the drive before) though you can do it in 4 if you have some guts and/or a good radar detector. Took me about 28 hours to drive from here to San Francisco, including a few short (15-minute) rest-stops, and about 4 hours of sleep, and switching drivers every 4 or 5 hours with a friend. I know a guy who drove from here to Vegas in a day of straight-driving, no stops except to fill up gas.
If anyone flies up here (depending on numbers of course, I can't drive 20 people in my RSX) I may be able to pick you up at the airport / drive you back. But I'm involved in setup/organization of the event this year and may be busy. I don't know yet.
We also have the biggest mall in the world here
