| WOW only 1.279? |
It’s already day 11
and we left Lethbridge on our way to Whitecourt, AB through the outskirts of Calgary. Calgary is a large Canadian City with
slightly over a million people. When we
finally arrived at the Walmart, yes another Walmart, in Whitecourt we had
traveled 426 miles. Most of the trip was
on nice four lane highway through rolling hills and lots of pasture and farm
land. Some rain and lots of wind made
driving the motor home a challenge at times.
However we made it, had dinner, and are now watching the only TV station
we get while listening to the rain fall on the roof of the motor home. We bought our first gas in Canada, it was
only $1.23; however, that was per liter.
Multiply 1.23 by 3.8 and you will get an idea of what a gallon
cost.
This is the largest wooden railroad trestle built on the Alaskan Highway.
Another picture of the railroad trestle. We were told that a great many of people have moved to this area of Canada to work in the oil fields.
We saw a lot of farm land today as we traveled through the country. This was one of the barns outside of Calgary. We called it the happy barn...
The largest city we have been through in awhile. The traffic was heavy and fast. I guess it is good for RVs like us who keep the traffic at a slower pace. I'm sure we were called several things other than tourists?
Downtown Calgary ahead. Oh and did we mention all the road construction?
There were hundreds of motorcyclists traveling through Calgary. Law enforcement had traffic stopped for the cyclists and traffic was backed up for miles. We never did hear what all the cycles were about. We were just glad they were traveling in the opposite direction...
More cyclists
After a long day it was time to find a place to stay. There just happened to be a Camp Walmart in Whitecourt. Our favorite thing about this picture is that it was taken around 10 PM...
