Saturday, August 8, 2009

Another travel day today; from Jasper to Drumheller. Drumheller is the home of the Royal Tyrell Paleontology. It’s the worlds largest display of old dinosaur bones. All day we drove in forests, then ranch land with fields of canola, and then when we get to Drumheller it looks like we’re in the middle of the Bad Lands. A lot of the area is marked “no trespassing” because they are still looking for more old dinosaur bones.

The campground we’re staying at will not make my list of acceptable places to stay. It’s another park that advertises WiFi, but doesn’t make good on the promise. The park also has unmarked ‘speed bumps’ that are the size of small hills; what a jolt. I’m already looking forward to leaving.

But, here’s the good news; we spotted a huge bull moose as we were driving. It looked big a ¼ mile away. It had a nice rack and it really was pretty good size. Connie also spotted three Mountain Sheep on our way out of Jasper Park.
