Another Visit

We left Elkton Valley this morning.  The day started out as a great driving day.  Although cloudy, you could see the mountains in the west, about 80 km away.  They're such a contrast to the land when you get out of the mountains.

We drove down to Cochrane, about 45 minutes south of where we were, and toward the TransCanada Highway.  We happened to line up Dave's day off with our passing through this area.  He happens to be working near Bragg Creek, just south of here off the same highway we were on.  He transported others of his crew into Cochrane to do laundry and enjoy the day off.  This is the crummy he drives.  It transports 11 people.



So glad to see him!

We left him after a while and proceeded to the TransCanada to continue east.  First, Calgary.  The TC actually goes through part of the city and has oodles of traffic lights.

Then it started to rain.  And it rained and rained and rained.  The next 2 photos are through a wet windshield.  This is supposedly the tallest tepee in the world, near Medicine Hat.

Then we arrived in Saskatchewan.

We're staying only about 40 km into Saskatchewan very near the TC.  We haven't had to set up in pouring rain like this!  We sort of just planted in our site and waited for the rain to quit around 9:30.  Then we kind of redid the set-up so it was more stable and even.

We continue on in Saskatchewan tomorrow.
