From the picture you can see Craig is in embracing his time in Canada, after all, his relatives on his Father's side all came from Canada, including a cousin who was a speaker in Parliament. So here is a shout out to all the Shantz's and Petersen's still in the area.
As we drove north towards Edmonton we came across the town of Didsbury. This is where Craig's grandfather was born. Although we were on a tight schedule and could not stop, we both did a wave out through the window, but it didn't appear that anyone saw it or seemed to be at home. Maybe next time they could get a welcoming committee out along the freeway for us.
As we got closer to Edmonton, the snow started appearing on the landscape. Now I didn't want to say anything before, as not to jinx us, but we have had the best weather on this trip since leaving Texas. It has been nothing but sunshine and blue skies the entire time. Even though the temperatures have been brisk and in the low 20's, we really haven't minded it at all. We can even go all night without running the heater.
This trip will conclude Monday morning with an early drop off of our 6 boats in Edmonton, then we head back into the States for a day to reload up with boats. Stay tuned to hear about our next adventure.

Since you are in Canada so much you best get hockey jersey for each town that you visit. In Edmonton get an Oilers jersey.
I cannot believe the family did not have signs out welcoming you to Didsbury. Well...maybe next time through.
