After reviewing my photos for the day, I am disappointed I do not have any of the prairie. The palettes of the prairie grasses and fields under an endless blue sky shared by migrating geese was an unexpected pleasure. I do have one picture of Steve preparing mid-morning coffee with our Sumo Jetboil-a necessity if one is to avoid drinking Canadian coffee-I imagine a pound of coffee lasts a looong time in Canada.. Throughout the trip I hoped to be proved wrong with my initial critique but alas, it was not to be.
When planning our day's trip, we decided to truck camp in Onoway, Alberta but after a 10:30pm arrival and the thought of unloading the pickup to sleep we changed our minds. The only hotel in town was the Star Inn Motel, (aka the No Star Motel) but it did allow pets in the room. I felt fortunate that when I turned off the light in the bathroom and then quickly turned it back on, no additional guests scampered across the floor. However, there was not much I could do about the stale smoke smell. Steve fell asleep quickly but I needed to drink an Alaskan Amber while working on a crossword puzzle to fall asleep-now that would have been a photo op.
