DAY 6 - Sunday, September 22

Sometimes it's best to arrive at a hotel early. Last night in Valleyview is a case in point. When we arrived around 5PM it didn't look bad, not too busy. This was the scene this morning.

The restaurant was also a bar but when we entered for breakfast I was a little surprised to see this. A little early yet isn't it?

Finally, it appeared they have a little different take on social distancing.

Oh well, that's what makes life interesting yes?

We got away from Valleyview about 10AM and headed west a little off our planned course to visit Beaverlodge, home to the World's Largest Beaver. It worked on Corner Gas with the World's Biggest Hoe!

We totally missed the fall colour at home so this was a nice drive south today. It rained all morning and into the afternoon finally letting up about 2PM. Imagine how beautiful this would have been in sunshine with a bright blue sky.

We landed safely in Grande Cache quite aware we had left the prairies behind and were now heading into the mountains. Right across the hall from our room is this haven of peace and solitude. The view speaks for itself.

I'm convinced the room is there to compensate us and everyone else on our side of the hotel for the glorious scene greeting us out our own room's window.

I'm not sure what's on tap for tomorrow's weather - hopefully a little better than today. I was getting used to perfect sunny blue skies.  😅
