- Moose Jaw, SK to Calgary AB via Trans Canada Highway
The Moose Jaw moose and one of the Snow Bird Aeronautics Team jets, just on the edge of Moose Jaw, SK.
A closer shot of the moose. It's not what I would call entirely realistic. I think the Wawa goose is better.
No, the plane is not attacking the moose's butt. It just looks that way because of the angle of the picture.
This is the sodium sulphate mine at Chaplin, SK. Sodium sulfate is an industrial salt used in making paper, producing soda ash, and in detergents.
Another classic kind of agriculture picture from the prairies.
As you come into Swift Current, SK along the Trans Canada Highway, you pass this wind vane made from a helicopter. Why? I don't know. But it's there.
And into Swift Current we went. This is the town where we spent our first night of the road trip. We have come full circle.
Into Alberta. Almost home.
It may be an oil rich province, but there is still a lot of agriculture. This picture was taken in Wheatland County.
Onward, along Highway One, the Trans Canada Highway, onward into Medicine Hat, AB.
Medicine Hat is home to the world's largest tipi, or at least that is what they claim.
And then, homeward to Calgary. We did not go to Lethbridge. This is our last picture from the trip.
I also remember the teepee! We camped in Medicine Hat. I remember breakfast in the morning involved hot chocolate. And there had been fireworks at night. We found little cacti on a hill near our campground location. Very interesting to a rainforest child ;)
