Friday Adventures

It’s a nice drive to Fernie, just too bad it’s cloudy and rainy.  Drove through Jaffray ... very nice place. Saw a couple of dream log homes. There was a beautiful golf course and the grass was so green. There is also an RV resort. The drive from jaffray to Fernie is stunning even with the rain. Went through a tunnel. Took pictures through the window. We are thankful it’s not colder and icy! Arrived in Fernie just before noon. Too bad it’s cloudy and raining as it would be nice to see the mountains. We drove around a bit and love Fernie. We want to come back in the fall with the RV and then in the winter with our car to ski. It’s beautiful here ... the fall colours stunning. Wasn’t able to take any pictures. If it wasn’t raining we would have walked the downtown strip.

Crossed into Alberta at 1:00. The sun is trying to come out. The scenery is so beautiful ... wish we could stop to take pictures. Coleman Alberta is a nice place with gorgeous views. They have the Crowsnest RV park nestled on the side of a hill, a golf course and ski hill. Just up a bit further we saw signs for the Frank Slide Interpretive centre and decided to go check it out. It was an unbelievable slide from the top of turtle mountain in 1903 and the rocks still stand here today (https://frankslide.ca/). Shortly after leaving Frank we were out of the mountains ... just like that! Now we are into the rolling farmlands and wind turbines. Can sure make up driving time now!

Arrived in Lethbridge at 4:30. Only need a t-shirt outside as it’s 20 degrees. Arrived in Medicine Hat around 6:30. Found a beautiful campground with drive through RV sites. Thank goodness as we didn’t want to take the car off the dolly. Our poor RV and car are filthy from the rain. We are staying at Gas City campground. It is run by the city and they have free movies and you can rent bikes. They told us that there are lots of bike trails ... wish we were staying longer. Medicine Hat is known for their natural gas, hence the name Gas City Campground.

Leaving in the morning for Moose Jaw. We may stay there to see the tunnels and then head home on Sunday. We will see how much snow we run into!!
