Got up in Canmore and had a great breakfast in the mountain setting. Then it was off to Starbucks for Murray to get fortified for the trip.
Got a call from Ray Grenier from Grande Prairie and he wishes us all a bon voyage (he is going on a cruise to St. Martin). Thanks to Lauren for email and Carmen and Kim for there messages.
Down Highway 1 to the Cowboy Trail Highway 22. It was a beautiful trip through the southern Alberta Foothills. Through Black Diamond and Turner Valley and then into Longview. Where the hell is Longview?? Stopped and got some Longview Beef Jerky. Did you know that Brad Pitt and Angelene have stopped there for Jerky??? They bought $400.00 worth for their crew. The ManTracker lives nearby. Went to Ian Tysons cafe and got a latte. Murray had pretty well got the entire community story in less than 10 minutes.
Continued through the foothills and came out at Nanton and proceeded down Highway 2 and then to Lethbridge. I am sure that our friends from the Langford Fire Department are surprised that we got here before July.
The truck was filthy dirty and we were embarrassed to drive it around the city. We got into a truck wash and cleaned it up. Then we went to Kirsten's parents place to pick up the soccar balls and clothing that they had brought down from Edson (we couldnt bring it all on the flight to Victoria).
We then spent some quality time with the truck in the parking lot doing some training on the tower. Thanks again to Scott of the Langford Fire Department- we had no problems at all.
We had to fix our dehydration problem, and while we were sitting in the Lethbridge Lodge Lounge we met up with Dan Bush who was with the Edson Rotary Club several years ago. Good to see Dan who was excited about our project.
So the Grande Prairie Crew is currently enroute to Lethbridge. We will meet up with them tonight and get ready for our adventure to the US border and then to Dillon Montana.
