“Together, we must continue our efforts to turn our hopes into reality. The long walk continues.”

- Nelson Mandela

Summary:

We made our way into Canada with the intent of doing some boondocking and making our way to our Canadian goal as quickly as possible. We planned a few stops along the way, one in Winnipeg and one in Calgary. In Winnipeg we wanted to visit the Human Rights Museum and in Calgary we wanted to catch the Stampede, billed as ‘the biggest outdoor show on earth’.

We towed 1456 miles across Canada to get to Calgary across all types of terrain, from lakes snuggled between rocky ridges to windy open prairies with winds that can rock an 18-wheeler. The most unexpected was the miles and miles of canola fields that were in boom. The yellow blanketed the country side and was beyond description. Some canola fields backed up to barley fields that were a stunning green, any photo’s would either not capture the beauty or looked photoshopped.
