Leaving behind Calgary also meant leaving behind the mountains. Monday started off with a 160 km day that began with rain, and thunder and lightning. It tested some of our spirits but with some good sing-along tunes with Kaitlin and Len and Ian we stayed positive.
High River provided an incredible lunch of much needed hot soup and buns and ladies from the church even delivered towels for us to dry off with. The afternoon cleared up and we set up tents in Granum before the second round of thunderstorms hit. we managed to stay dry over night and enjoyed a little sunshine in the morning along with a pancake and bacon breakfast provided by Granum CRC!
The road ahead was 132 km long but the day felt much longer than that. Many of us were tired from the day before plus we made quite a few stops which drew out the day. But they were worthwhile as I got to see my Uncle Bill and Aunt Pearl (while enjoying cinnamon buns courtesy of Nobleford CRC)!
Picture Butt generously provided free donuts, Iron Springs fed us lunch! And Taber hosted us for a pig roast dinner! Musical entertainment was rich as there was a piano in the school and the Haverhals let us borrow their guitars! 
Also, this was my bed last night!
Today was about 120 km. And it felt great! We had some tunes along the way with our theme song being East Bound and Down along with other Disney and praise music. We like to keep it diverse. We received more fantastic hospitality from our rest stops -a Berry farm and a greenhouse where we got free saskatoons (and burgers) and cucumbers accordingly.
Oh and obviously, our own rest stops. We would never survive without the wonderful motorhomes who keep our water bottles filled and our stomachs happy!
We have received so much Alberta hospitality this week! Thanks to all – Saskatchewan here we come!
