Alberta = Thunderstorms, gumbo mud and BMF mosquitoes! Washed out in the am with clearing skies around noon for a 55 km ride around Drumheller. Rode along Red Deer River Valley paths and through very picturesque, narrow, green valley of the badlands beside the Rosebud River on 11 Bridges road to the town of Wayne, where Last Chance Saloon is located in the Rosedeer Hotel. Must have beer...upon walking in establishment, a man calls out, "Where are you from?"....Vancouver Island...Canucks fans?...Yes...We're Ken & Phyllis Raymond, grandparents of Mason Raymond, of the Vancouver Canucks....well, well, well...sat together and had a great chat...turns out Grampa used to play hockey too...by the way, Mason is on the mend and should be back in line up in November. Later cruised out to town of Nacmine and through Drumheller as yet another thunderstorm approached and let down at dinner. Milestone day...finally reached 1000 km...yipeeeee annnnd Tom shaved off his hockey playoff beard...needed to be more streamlined to keep up with his amazing wife:-)

Not sure who's got the bigger smile, Glenda or Grampa. Good thing it wasn't Mason himself or the camera lens would have been too fogged up to see the picture...
ReplyDeleteHa, ha....these people were beautiful, friendly and so excited that we were fans. Phyllis said all the girls like Mason...I told her I loved him:-) Grandpa was trying very hard to get Phyllis to play the bar's piano for us but she was too shy...would be a great place for Sig to play...was a real museum of history.
