It was great to get out and stretch our legs though.<br /><br />Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-214032784603802722019-05-18T10:25:40.583-04:002019-05-18T10:25:40.583-04:00Thanks Rita!

We were glad that we didn't have to take Sherman on that ferry though, the getting on and getting off would have been very difficult for him to do, at least at this time of the year with the low water level.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-67483987092852392562019-05-18T10:23:54.296-04:002019-05-18T10:23:54.296-04:00Even if we had gone through Drumheller on a Monday...Even if we had gone through Drumheller on a Monday, we just didn't have time to stop.

Something about it puts the size into perspective.<br /><br />We really do prefer driving on the back roads over the main roads, it is slower going but the scenery is usually so much better.<br /><br />Yep, we are looking forward to seeing some different places although now, we have cut our time shorter than we thought we were going to do. We just want to get to Australia and to our "new" truck camper and all the adventures that we will have there.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-74628823108324547402019-05-18T10:16:53.290-04:002019-05-18T10:16:53.290-04:00Yep, I could see that!

Neither of us has been to this area since we were kids, so it was fun to visit there again, we were just disappointed that we didn't have more time. Karyn is right about Vulcan not being all that far from there, so maybe there is a sort of connection to Star Trek and the hoodoos! ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-44172427672149089892019-05-17T18:12:15.578-04:002019-05-17T18:12:15.578-04:00The canyon and the Hoodoos look like a great hike....The canyon and the Hoodoos look like a great hike.
