ALBERTA NATIONAL T TOUR – Days 5,6,7

Okotoks to Calgary to Cochrane, AB, a bunch of miles on trains, planes, and automobiles.        Whew, whirlwind.  Calgary Stampede, here we come.

Grounds are huge, almost downtown, look at the buildings, in the background, not bad for a cow town.

We waded past the carnival parts and found the ag buildings.  Eat Alberta beef!!tn_DSC08440
Pat loves the draft horses, good thing the trailer is small.tn_DSC08450

We survived two days at the Stampede and then headed for Cochrane, Alberta.    But,,,,,,,,  we had to stop at Heritage Park in Calgary, even though it was dripping rain.  And guess what we found to look at,,,,,   They have a new building called Gasoline Alley.tn_DSC08512
And now,,,, we have arrived at Cochrane,   this must be the place, lot of Model T’s out there.   tn_DSC08532
Guess what we had for the welcome BBQ?    ALBERTA BEEF by the local Lions Club and entertainment by some local talent..  Remember this girls name, Katie Jo Kirk,  could be the next Sheryl Crow.tn_DSC08538
That is just the tip of all the stuff we have been doing, and tomorrow, make that this morning, we are off to Banff.
