The rain welcomed my awakening in Fernie, BC this morning. A ski crazy town that is the last enclave of any size prior to crossing the border into Alberta through the Crowsnest Pass. As I approached the peak of the pass, ahead it was much brighter than what was behind me. And shortly after crossing the Continental Divide...again, the skies cleared. They remained clear all day today as I drove to Calgary. Looking back toward British Columbia was it was possible to see several rainbows.
Just after coming out of the pass I turned up Route 22...there as a sign warning of cross winds. Ha...cross winds! Yikes! Were there cross winds. I don't have any photos of this section of road even though there were some great scenes as I had to keep my hands on the wheel and couldn't use my knees while taking photos....how inconvenient. In the distance I could see the Rockies where I will be going on Monday. It was an easy ride to Calgary...it was so nice to see the sun again.In Calgary I met up with Trevor, a diving coach, from Edmonton and his student, Tyler, a Canadian Junior Diving Champion, and his mom, Lynn. They had come down for a photo shoot. It went very well. I have known Trev for several years and Tyler is hoping to get into modeling...so we connected to help him get started.
