July 7th, Sunday

Oh what a great sleep we had ! It has been a full 2 days at the Stampede. The sun is out and looks clear for the whole day. Fantastic ! We met Evan Rogers and girlfriend Rachel for a brunch and got caught up on their news. They are still not back in their apartment in Calgary and will probably be a couple weeks. So great to see them ! Then we hit the TC and headed south towards Medicine Hat to see some of the Prairies. Miles and miles of grain, corn, potatoes, and canola with bee hives sitting all thru the fields - some in plastic tents and some in trailers. There were hundreds of cattle, oil wells, big irrigation apparatus, cattle stock pens, Bow canal, and lots to keep our eyes and head moving from side to side. We are in McCain territory as we head south.

Pulled into Chin Park campground just south of Tabor, AB. Sitting by the water reservoir (which provides the farmers with water) sipping on a cold one and having a barbecue. Perfect !
