Crossing the Prairies

Crossing the prairies, has been fun. There's not a lot to do, but enough to keep it interesting as you make your way to the west. In Manatoba we went to Spruce Woods Prov. Park, to a spot called spirit sands, which is pretty much a desert. I felt like i was at the southhampton beech, but there was no lake. From there we made our way over to Cypress Hill Prov Park, and took a whindy dirt road -that was impasable when wet- all the way through to and into Alberta, it was quite a scenic drive. In Saskatawan we drove though a lot of gravel roads, which is a lot more fun then the trns canada. We stopped somewhere in the back counrty, where at night, a pretty narly thunder storm blew past us. Through a lot of pataince Vern was able to snap some pics of the lightning. Once in Aberta we headed through the very borring landscape to dinasour prov. park to celabrate canada day with some fellow campers. It was a good time. It's a pretty neet spot to go wandering. I am currently in Calgary staying with Ryan and Carol for the weekend where we will be celabrating my birthday, and checkin out the stampede which just happened to be in town. Good timing. Ryan and Carol have been too nice giving us a spot to stay for the weekend, which will be a nice break from bus living.

Thankyou everyone for the birthday shoutouts. It's good to hear from you all. Thanks for keeping in touch.
