Memorial Day in Canada

N 53°31'01"

Only so many words can sum up the 12.5 hour journey today. Saskatchewan...meh. Mostly flat farm that is made more depression by the almost constant light drizzle looming over south central Canada. But Alberta is sooo nice. Rolling prairie fields as far as the eye can see which happens to be a good 40km or so. There is even Bison up here, and we saw a red fox cross the highway this morning in Manitoba... That pretty much sums up wildlife view in Canada, unless you count the Canadian Geese which here I guess are just Geese.

We are staying at another Hostel International in Edmonton. I mean you can't beat $29 a night room that is not the Bates Motel with wireless internet. We also found out that there is another one of these in Anchorage, so I figure we will crash there the last night of the expedition to enjoy a bed for one last time over the summer.

Beginning tomorrow, things start to get really interesting. Just past Grand Prairie, Alberta, the scenery starts to transform into the majestic Canadian Rockies. We are staying at a camp ground just outside of Fort Nelson, British Columbia, and this campsite has hot springs. If we are lucky, we will have some good weather. I just hope for a clean sky. In that kind of seclusion, I bet you can see the Milky Way easy.
