The miles ticked by and the scenery didn't really change much just flattish rolling fields all brown and frost burnt, we stopped for food in a small town that was just made up of fuel stations and burger joints.
As it got dark i had to then keep an eye out for deer as we had seen plenty since we left Saskatoon, and the last thing i wanted is a white tailed deer as a bonnet mascot.
At one point on the trip i had sat there with the Dodge in cruise control and no hands on the steering wheel for maybe 30 miles , this road was as strait as if someone had just drawn it with a ruler, maybe they had.
As we got nearer Calgary the road system started to have some bends and turns, we bypassed Calgary to the north via Airdrie and on to some very small roads with cattle grids,it was pitch black now as we were heading for 1 am but in the dark i could see mountains rising up above us then we dropped on to high way 1 for the last few miles pulling up outside the hotel at 1.45 am
Louise had said to me that she had never seen real mountains, i mean not really high ones and that when she opened the curtains in the morning she would like to see mountains
This is watt she saw from our window
The three sisters
The hotel from the front
